2.3 Safety Warnings

Listed below are the safety warnings that are applicable when using a Loma IQ3X Metal
Detection System. It is strongly recommended that personnel who are, or will be, responsible for
installing, maintaining or operating the equipment described in this guide should read and
understand these warnings.
Systems manufactured by Loma are specifically designed for Automatic in-line operation.
Operators are normally only required to work on the machine intermittently. This interaction is
usually limited to either changing product settings via the system control panel or emptying
product from the reject receptacle.
Engineers involved in installation, servicing and maintenance of the IQ3X Metal Detection
System may be exposed to hazards in the execution of particular:
1. LETHAL HAZARD – ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES.
A current of 100 milliamps passing through the body for one second can kill. This can occur at
voltages as low as 35V ac or 50V dc. The equipment described in this manual uses electrical
power which can be lethal. Unless absolutely necessary, cleaning, inspection and maintenance
must not be carried out without first isolating the equipment from all electrical supplies.
2. NON-IONIZING RADIATION.
Loma metal detectors employ low-intensity electromagnetic fields in compliance with current
legislation.
If used in close proximity to an electromagnetic field, the operation of pacemakers, cardiac
defibrillators and other life support devices can be affected.
Wearers of these devices should consult their doctor for advice on avoiding this hazard.
