Model DS101 DOUBLE SHEET DETECTOR
DESCRIPTION
The Model DS101 Double Metal Sheet Detector comprises a control module in a polycarbonate
housing with a single probe to form a system that detects the thickness of ferrous (magnetically
attracted) 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.

- Page 1 FUSE DESCRIPTION The Model DS101 Double Metal Sheet Detector comprises a control module in a polycarbonate housing with a single probe to form a system that detects the thickness of ferrous (magnetically attracted) 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 DS101 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.

Page 3: Installation
Electrical Wiring All wiring for the DS101 connects to terminal blocks at the bottom of the control circuit board within the enclosure as described in the following paragraphs. -
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 DS101 is wired into the stop circuit of a machine with a manual restart circuit. -
Page 5: Switches And Jumpers
A two position DIP switch to the right of the terminal blocks controls the selection of the calibration mode and the system response time as described below under CONFIGURATION SWITCHES AND JUMPERS. - Page 6 OUTPUTS The DS101 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 7 Normally where double thickness discrimination is required, the DS101 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 DS101 may be calibrated on two different thicknesses of the same material.
