Metal detector MDS 50 locates mag n e t ic and non-mag n etic metal particles on moving webs. It is suitable for dry textile materials and non-wovens up to 4 mm thick. The web speed may lie between 3 and 200 meters per minute. Only use the metal detector - when in a technically perfect state - for approved applications - taking into account the safety recommendations and possible dan- gers listed in the operating instructions. Work related to the operation, conversion or setting of the metal detector, its maintenance and repair may be carried out by qualified personnel only. Please observe the ON/OFF switching procedures in the operating instructions. 1.2 Operating manual Look after this operating manual carefully and make sure it is avail- able to personnel at all times. The operating manual is part of the package and should be read carefully prior to mounting, operation and maintenance. 1.3 Safety hints Never touch the edges of moving webs.
ELMETA ® MDS 50 1.6 Operation The web guider should be operated by qualified persons or suitably instructed personnel only. 1.7 Explanation of symbols ➜ = jobs to be performed = important information and instructions = text sections due particular attention to assure the safe op- eration of the metal detector. 2. Function 2.1 Purpose Metal detector MDS 50 locates mag n e t ic and non-mag n etic metal particles on moving webs. It is suitable for dry textile materials and non-wovens up to 4 mm thick. The web speed may lie between 3 and 200 meters per minute.
ELMETA ® MDS 50 2.3 Operating principle An electro-magnetic alternating field is created in the metal detec- tor probing range. If the web carries a foreign metal particle over the probe, the alternating field is disturbed and signal output 1 set. At the same time, the alarm displays on the sides go on, as does alarm dis- play 1 on the operating panel. Signal output 1 may be used to stop the processing machine or to trigger an optical or acoustic alarm. Depending on the metal detector configuration, the signal output may be reset automatically or manu- ally. Signal output 2 is used for the speed-synchronized triggering on fol- low-up machine devices such as calander rollers, shearing tools or marking systems. The signal output is set and reset depending on the web speed and the distance between the metal detector and fol- low-up machine devices. 3. Operating device RT 5020/ DO 50.. 3.1 Displays 2 1/2-place digital display In normal operation, the digital display indicates the metal detector sensitvity, see l.h. illustration. In setup mode, it indicates either the device address, the parameter number or parameter value, see example 1. Given a permissible value from 200 upwards the "unit digit" is shifted to the right and no longer displayed. This action is indicat- ed by the flashing of the final decimal point, see example 2 and 3.
ELMETA ® MDS 50 Operating voltage display +5 V DC The display goes on when voltage is supplied to the control electron- ics. Alarm displays 1 and 2 The displays indicate the switching status of the signal outputs: - display 1 goes on when signal output 1 is set. - display 2 flashes as soon as output 1 is set and remains illumi- nated when signal output 2 is set (only when signal output 2 is configured). Both displays flash during system adjustment. LED illuminated bar green yellow red The LED illuminated bar indicates the signal level. In normal opera- tion, one or several green LEDs are always illuminated. If the web moves a foreign metal object across the probe, the yellow and red LEDs go on. The larger the size of the metal particle, the greater the Metal particle signal number of LEDs that light up. The maximum signal value is temporarily stored so that even fast signals may be stored, i.e. once the metal particle has passed over, the LED that had indicated the maximum value, remains illuminated. Then the LEDs to the left go on one after the other until only the Signal maximum value green LEDs are illuminated. All LEDs light up (approx. 60 sec.) during a system adjustment. Once LED illuminated bar this has been completed successfully, only one or several green...
ELMETA ® MDS 50 3.3 Basic operation in setup In setup mode, the parameters of E+L CAN devices may be dis- mode played and to a certain extent changed as well. Setup or expand- ed setup mode is accessed with the help of an E+L command device DO ..or operating panel RT ..Para- Para - meter meter value Start setup mode: first press the setup key and then additionally the increase value key. The Start setup mode green LED on the setup key flashes. Enter device number: Press and hold down the setup key and select parameter 0 via the increase value key. Let the setup key go again and enter Enter device number the device number using either the increase or decrease key (device numbers are specified in the block diagram) Enter group number: Press and hold down the setup key and select parameter 1 via the increae value key.

ELMETA ® MDS 50 Each CAN device has its own CAN address under which it maybe selected. These are specified in your system wiring diagram. The CAN address consists of a group and device number, e.g. 0.5. The first number is the group number, the second the device num- ber. The digital display indicates whether the selected device is fea- tured in the control loop. A minus sign ("-") in front of the device number means that the said device is not featured. If a nonex- istent device is still selected, all the decimal points will flash and further entries are impossible (select a new, existing device). 3.4 Setting the metal detector The sensitivity of the metal detector may be changed using the in- sensitivity crease/decrease value keys. The display shows the chosen sensitiv- ity in mg Fe (Ferum), the distance web to metal detector being 1 mm. Works setting: 5 mg Fe If the value is decreased, the reactions of the metal detector are more responsive. (1 mg = max. sensitivity, 40 mg = min. sensitivity). The following circumstances may restrict an increase in sensitiv- ity: - disturbances in the operating voltage, - potential elect r o m ag n e t ic fields in the vicinity of the probe head , - probe head vibrations during operation, - metal residue in the web caused by pre-treating in metallic baths (e.g. with iron or copper oxides, titanium oxides or zinc nitrates).
ELMETA ® MDS 50 3.5 Instructions for daily use The metal detector is ready for operation one minute after it has been energized. The web should not cover the outmost 20 mm of the probe sur- face, as these probe sections do not detect any metal parts. Test the correct operation of the metal detector daily before start- ing the machine. For this purpose introduce a metal particle fixed to a plastic rod into the sensing range of the detector and check whether a signal is triggered. The probe head must not be mechanically strained. It may not be used either as a ladder or support during service work or as a de- posing surface. 4. Adapter plate 24V DC Connector for linking to the operating voltage of 24 V DC, power in- put approx. 36 W (depending on length). Connector for linking to a CAN bus. The total length of the CAN bus line must not exceed 200 meters. Both ends of the CAN bus line must feature a terminating resistor connector. The LED indicates whether the CAN bus card in the metal detector is working properly. If the green LED goes on, there are no malfunc- tions, if the LED lights up red, there is a malfunction. RESET Connector for linking to a potential-free external pushbutton used to reset signal output 1. The input has the same function as the RESET push button on the command device. WEB SPEED Connector for linking to an incremental encoder used to detect the web speed. The incremental encoder signal is required for evaluating signal output 2.
ELMETA ® MDS 50 - Signal output 1 The output is set when the metal detector registers an alien metal object. It may be used to stop the processing machine or to trigger an optical or acoustic alarm. The signal output may be reset auto- matically or manually depending on the metal detector configura- tion. Works setting: Parameter 13 = 1: 24 V OFF with signal (closed circuit) Parameter 14 = 0: reset input manually via the RESET key or inputs. - Signal output 2 The output is used for the speed-synchronised triggering on fol- low-up machine devices such as calander rollers, shearing tools or marking systems. The signal output is only active when com- bined with an incremental encoder for the web speed. It is set depending on the web speed and the distance between the metal detector and follow-up machine. It is reset automatically. Signal output 2 is deactivated ex works. Works settings: Parameter 16 = 0: 24 V ON with signal Parameter 17 = 0: distance from metal detector to lifting point Parameter 18 = 0: distance as long as signal output 2 is set - Operational The output is set after automatic adjustment is completed (+24V).

ELMETA ® MDS 50 5.3 Important for assembly The probe head must not be mechanically strained. It may not be used either as a ladder or support during service work or as a de- positing surface. horizontal (probe head upwards) Angle < 5° Angle < 5° horizontal - The metal detector should be mounted in a horizontal position, (probe head with the probe head facing upwards or out to the side. See figs. on out to the side) left and above. - The web must run parallel to the probe head. Height fluctuations falsify the measuring result. For the height refer to chapter 5.2 Ap- plication instructions. The web may also rest on the probe head. Please observe hereby that the angle between the web plane and that of the probe head does not exceed 5 degrees. - With web widths from three meters upwards, the metal detector must be additionally supported in the middle. See also the techni- cal data section. - Relative movements (vibrations) of the metal detector with respect to other metal particles may trigger an incorrect signal. Thus it is Web position very mportant that the metal detector is not subject to vibrations. When mounting the metal detector, please use the rubber-metal vibration damper supplied. This is equally important when mount- ing a center support. - Two metal detectors should be at least 3 meters apart. - Metal path rollers with a diameter of up to 80 mm should be lo- Ø 80 mm cated at a minimum distance of 500 mm to the probe. This is im-...
ELMETA ® MDS 50 - If the web has become electrostatically charged due to preced- ing processing sequences, an ionising rod should be located up stream of the metal detector to de-charge the web. Electrostatic Grounding strip charging arising through the web touching the probe head as it passes over is de-charged directly via the grounding strips on the metal detector. 5.4 Installation ➜ Mount the metal detector. Dimensions, see dimension drawing. ➜ If the metal detector is more than 3 m long, mount a center sup- port, see dimension drawing. ➜ The power supply CN 4002 should be mounted in at least 2 me- ters distance. ➜ Be sure to insulate at one side the shafts of metal rollers which are located within 500 mm around the metal detector. E+L has a set of insulating components available. See figure below and chapter on spares. insulating Example: set of insulating components for metal rollers 6. Installation Please observe the locally applicable and professional safety and accident prevention regulations. ➜ Run the electrical leads according to the attached wiring diagram.

ELMETA ® MDS 50 7. Commissioning 7.1 Checking the polarity The metal detector is fitted with a polarity reversal protection feature of the operating voltage at the power supply input and short circuit protection at the outputs. The short circuit protection is only effective when the operating volt- age is correctly poled. ➜ Disconnect the outputs before connecting the metal detector to the operating voltage for the first time. ➜ Connect to the operating voltage (24 V DC). ➜ Check via the operating voltage display or the CAN LED whether the operating voltage is correctly poled. The former must light up green. Swap the connections if necessary. ➜ Switch off the operating voltage and reconnect the outputs. The metal detector is now operational. Further settings must only be performed when the metal detector is adjusted to the web speed, signal output 1 should be configured differently or signal output 2 used. Commissioning points 7.2 to 7.4 should be performed when the web is at a standstill. Changed parameter values are ad- opted immediately.

ELMETA ® MDS 50 Insufficient sensitivity. ➜ If the sensitivity has already been reduced due to electro-magnet- ic interference fields, mount the probe head at least two meters away from the former. If necessary, select another mounting loca- tion. ➜ Check the material, weight and distance of the metal particles and compare with the tables on page 8 as to whether these particles may be detected. The system indicates metal particles although none are present. ➜ Check the supply voltage. If it fluctuates by more than ±10 %, con- nect the metal detector to another power circuit. ➜ Check the electrical leads for defects. ➜ Check whether the switching on of another machine has triggered the signal. If this is the case, connect the metal detector to anoth- er power circuit. ➜ Check whether the signal was triggered by electrostatic charging. If this was the case, mount an ionising rod in front of the metal de- tector. Check the grounding strips on the metal detector. ➜ Check whether the sensitivity is set too high. ➜ Check whether the probe head surface is damaged. The metal detector no longer registers particles in the entire probing range.
