INTRODUCTION TO
SYSTEM CONTROL
Control of the LOMA Superscan Micro is easily achieved once the basic principles of operation are
understood. The following two pages show diagrams of the User Interface and of the Menu Map.
Certain keys on the User Interface control movement around the Menu Map such that any menu entry
can be reached quite simply from any other.
The Menu Map is organised into four logical groups: Setup, Change, Calibrate and Results. These
menus can all be accessed via the dedicated keys on the User Interface. To become completely
familiar with the operation of the LOMA Superscan Micro, it is necessary that the
Operators Guide
Menu Map is fully
understood. Spend some time now looking at the diagram of the Menu Map on
page 3 and observe some of the possible routes to perform frequent tasks.
Following a more complete description of the User Interface Menu Map is a Product Setup example
showing how to set the metal detector up for a new product. Use this example to gain familiarity with
the unit before attempting to operate the machine under production conditions.
