Double Metal
Sheet Detector
DESCRIPTION
The Model DS100 Double Metal Sheet Detector comprises a control module in a sheet metal
housing with a single probe to form a system that detects the thickness of metals passing the face
of the probe. The detector system may be used on automatic sheet feeders where double or
overlapped sheet material may jam or damage the receiving machine. A double feed produces an
output to stop the machine or signal the operator.

Summary of Contents for Prime DS100

  • Page 1 (120V OR 240V) DESCRIPTION The Model DS100 Double Metal Sheet Detector comprises a control module in a sheet metal housing with a single probe to form a system that detects the thickness of metals passing the face of the probe. The detector system may be used on automatic sheet feeders where double or overlapped sheet material may jam or damage the receiving machine.
  • Page 2 • Metal present output to verify the sheet has fed properly Probes The DS100 operates with a several different Prime magnetic probes including Models PM4, PM10, and PM15. All probes are potted and completely sealed. The probes do not respond to small amounts of fine metal filings, oil or dirt.

    C immediately in front of the gray transformer block. Place one of the suitcase jumpers in position B. Discard the second jumper. Replace the cover. The factory setting for these jumpers is for 100 to 130 volt operation. Do not power the Model DS100 with 200 to 260 VAC until jumpers have been changed.

  • Page 4: Inputs And Controls

    DOUBLE indicator goes out and the green NO DOUBLE indicator turns on. Automatic reset is normally selected to control the operation when the fault condition is automatically removed or the DS100 is wired into the stop circuit of a machine with a manual restart circuit.
  • Page 5 OUTPUTS The DS100 outputs include a form C relay for reporting OVER conditions and a dc logic output for reporting no material in front of the probe. The logic output is labeled the NOTHING output since it provides an indication that nothing is present in front of the probe.
  • Page 6 DS100 can be calibrated on a single thickness of the material to be monitored (one press of the push button). If finer changes in thickness are to be discriminated, the DS100 may be calibrated on two different thicknesses of the same material. The discrimination threshold is set halfway between the two calibration points.

  • Page 7: Firmware Version

    FIRMWARE VERSION From time to time, as improvements are made to Prime products, the firmware controlling the units is revised. When setting a unit up or troubleshooting it may be necessary to determine the version number for the firmware installed in your unit.

  • Page 8: Power Requirements

    POWER REQUIREMENTS 95 to 130 volts, 50/60 Hz at 50 mA. OUTPUT RELAY SPECIFICATIONS Maximum switched voltage: 380VAC Maximum switched current: 14 amps N.O., 5 amps N.C, AC resistive, 8 amps DC Maximum switched power: 20OW DC, 2,OOOVA AC. Minimum required contact load: 12V, 100 mA Expected mechanical life: 20 million operations...

  • Page 9: Troubleshooting

    1. Check AC input power to the control module 2. Check the fuse, accessible at the lower left side of the DS100 housing. 3. When powers is applied, if the green and amber indicators show a response to the metal condition in front of the probe and the output relay does not switch, check that the reset jumper is installed (if you want the relay to follow the sheet condition).
