  • Page 4 To avoid injury or damage to the equipment, all electrical installations are to be performed by qualified and competent personnel authorized by Eriez Manufacturing Company. All electrical installations are to be in compliance with local safety codes. Ensure that all materials used in the installation of the equipment are suitable and appropriate for purpose.
  • Page 5 Eriez Manufacturing Company. CAUTION The XTREME metal detector is not designed nor intended for operation in environments classified as hazardous locations/zones. Do not operate the XTREME metal detector in areas where the possibility of explosions or fires exists.
  • Page 6 CAUTION When cleaning the metal detector surfaces, use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for any physical/chemical/biological hazards that may exist due to the end user’s production environment. Avoid contact with contaminants on or around the metal detector. Pressure Wash and sanitize metal detector surfaces when maintenance is required.

  • Page 9 Radio Frequency (RF) emissions have been tested to the requirements of FCC 47CFR Part 18, and CISPR 11/EN 55011 (Class A, Group 2). The Eriez Xtreme Metal Detector generates an electromagnetic field which has the potential to escape. This field may interfere with nearby radio frequency equipment.
  • Page 10 Larger metal detectors may have eyebolts preinstalled at the factory. When handling with the eyebolts ensure loads are never applied perpendicular to the shank of the eyebolts; they will break. CAUTION The metal detector is heavy. Do not lift nor support the metal detector by hand.
  • Page 11 SPECS SUPPLY, MAINS, VOLTAGE The Xtreme Metal Detector will operate from AC supply voltages over the range of 100 to 240 VAC RMS, 50 or 60 Hz. Mains supply voltage fluctuations shall not exceed ±10% of the nominal value.
  • Page 12 Power at L1B and L2B passes through the circuit breaker switch located on the left side of the control housing. There are five programmable “Form A” (SPST-NO) solid state relay outputs rated at 500mA up to 40 VDC. Out 4 (K6) Out 1 (K9) Out 5 (K5) Out 2 (K8)
  • Page 13 Additional information on how to setup Overhead A-B is located in the wiring section of this manual. SPECS INPUTS The Xtreme Metal Detector has eight configurable inputs that can be set to “Active High” or “Active Low”. Input Voltage -“High” = 10 to 30 VDC -“Low”...
  • Page 14 RELATIVE HUMIDITY 0 TO 95% MAXIMUM OPERATING ALTITUDE 2000 meters (6561 feet) SPECS PRODUCT VELOCITY Minimum: 2 ft/min (0.6 m/min) Maximum: up to 3000 ft/min (914 m/min) Note: Actual maximums are dependent on aperture size. For gravity-fed vertical metal detectors, product velocity is determined by free-fall distance. The maximum free-fall distance is dependent on the system design, especially the distance between the sensing head and reject valve.
  • Page 15 The metal detector contains several components which must be physically mounted to a conveyor or suitable stand. These include the sensing head, the control (if remote), and other devices such as a tachometer. Most Xtreme Metal Detectors sensing heads have an integral control, thus simplifying installation and wiring.
  • Page 16 Operator convenience should also be evaluated. Ensure installation guidelines are followed and met before the final location is selected. If there are any questions, please contact Eriez for assistance. METAL FREE AREA The metal detector monitors an electromagnetic field to detect metal. This field is predominantly contained within the aperture of the detector.
  • Page 17 Figure 2 MECH H = smaller tunnel dimension (typically height) ELECTRICAL CURRENT LOOP The most frequent problem encountered in metal detector installations is false tripping caused by intermittent electrical current loops. The electromagnetic field dissipates in strength with distance to a point that metal outside the “metal free” area will not cause false detections. Since the field is time varying, it will generate small electrical currents in conductive paths (metalwork) beyond the metal free area.
  • Page 18 Likewise, the cross-members of the conveyor framework represent possible break points. Over time, these connections can work loose or corrode and cause “make and break” connections due to vibration. The interruption or change of the current is a source of electromagnetic interference detectable by the metal detector.
  • Page 19 Insulating Shoulder Washer Insulator Material (Neoprene or Fiberglass) Figure 6 shows the method recommended by Eriez; this is also the simplest method. It requires the bearing block on the end opposite the motor to be replaced with a plastic/non-metallic one.
  • Page 20 Figure 6 Non-metallic/Plastic Bearing Block MECH All three insulating methods are reliable. However, it only takes a small metal shaving or burr to cut through and short-circuit the insulators. A check of the integrity of the insulation with an ohmmeter will ensure everything is correctly installed. Insulating either end of the shaft will prevent current loops but will also prevent testing with an ohmmeter.
  • Page 21 PERMANENT CURRENT LOOPS Permanent conduction paths (i.e. cross members) in the conveyor frame should be welded securely to provide a reliable path for any current that may be created. Bolted construction may eventually degrade, and is not recommended unless designed and executed by experts in metal detector conveyor construction.
  • Page 22 Four insulating mounting feet are supplied with the metal detector. These mounting feet must be used to ensure proper operation (Figure 8). All four mounting feet must sit flat on the supporting structure. Do not draw the feet down to the structure by tightening the mounting bolts, as this will put uneven stresses on the sensing head shell which in turn may cause instabilities in operation.
  • Page 23 A proven, trouble free choice for metal detector conveyor belts are modular plastic conveyor belts. Eriez recommends and uses this option as they are easily maintained and faulty sections can be changed out quickly. Conductive plastic components, belts, and metallic hinge pins or rods must be avoided.
  • Page 24 The slider bed must not touch the aperture liner. The slider bed should be made of static-resistant non-metallic material. Anti-static UHMW and phenolic are acceptable choices. Eriez has designed and incorporated a static-dissipative food grade plastic slider bed into our standard and custom metal detector conveyor systems. Most solid plastics cannot be used because these materials tend to generate static electricity as the conveyor belt slides across.
  • Page 25 INTRODUCTION CAUTION Electrical installation should be performed only by trained electrical service personnel, authorized by Eriez. Installation wiring should conform to National Electrical Code, or other applicable standards as required by local regulations. All electrical connections are made within the control enclosure. Figure 2 ( ) shows the IOC PCB and the electrical connections to the circuit board.
  • Page 26 The wiring from the mains supply panel to the metal detector should be a minimum of 14 AWG, and should include a dedicated earth ground wire for safety and proper operation of the metal detector. The power wiring should be run in a dedicated conduit. The best insurance against electrical noise and false tripping is to run a separate circuit to the metal detector from the main power bus.
  • Page 27 CAUTION Verify input power requirements before making any connections. The Xtreme Metal Detector has four mechanical and five solid state relays, for a total of nine programmable outputs, each with one set of contacts. ELEC There are four programmable “Form C”...
  • Page 28 There are five programmable “Form A” (SPST-NO) solid state relays each rated at 500mA up to 40 VDC. These relays can be wired as NPN or PNP. The output can be set to NO or NC under normal running conditions. If +24V is used to power the relays, the maximum current available is 2A.
  • Page 29 TACHOMETER INPUT Applications having variable speed product flow and requiring automatic reject timing use this input. A tachometer is used to allow the metal detector control to monitor product speed, and reject according to the distance the product has traveled rather than according to elapsed time since detection.
  • Page 30 CONDUIT Wiring to and from the metal detector should be routed through conduit. High voltage wiring for the power supply and reject devices should not be located in the same conduit as low power sensor wiring (i.e. tachometer and reset switch). Keep all metal detector wiring separate from electrical supplies carrying heavy or switched loads.
