Conventions Used in This Manual Here is a summary of the conventions used in this manual. • The term “TMD IV” is a general term that refers to Thermo Scientific Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector. Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector REC 4479C...
Introduction This section introduces the Thermo Scientific™ Ramsey™ Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector (TMD IV). It gives an overview of the device’s capabilities, provides information on installing, operating and maintaining the device, along with technical specifications and reference drawings. Overview The TMD IV detects the presence of tramp metal in bulk material being transported on a conveyor belt.
Page 12
(the point at which it reads the output signal) only after the magnetic field from the material on the conveyor has decayed and before the tramp's decay has ended (see Figure 1-4). Using this measurement window timing helps prevent both false trips and passed tramp metal. Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector REC 4479C Page 12...
TMD IV, the transmitter and receiver coils are together in a coil assembly mounted under the belt. This section describes the major components of a TMD IV system. Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector REC 4479C Page 13...
TMD IV, the transmitter coil is swing-mounted above the belt to protect the coil and support from being damaged by oversized material. The receiver coil is mounted under the belt. Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector REC 4479C Page 14...
The software can also be secured though password protection. Figure 1-8 Oretronic IV-4 and Oretronic IV-6 Control Units Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector REC 4479C Page 15...
When two or more detectors are within 30 feet of each other, the SYNC input feature allows for the synchronization of transmitter pulses. This prevents the detectors from mistaking a transmitter pulse from another detector for a metal signal. Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector REC 4479C Page 16...
System requirements for incorporating an under-belt single coil TMD IV into a conveyor system can be found on the following Engineering Drawings in Appendix A of this manual: • Under-Belt Single Coil Final Assembly (D07328C-A101) • Under Belt Single Coil Installation Placement (D07328C-A102) Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector REC 4479C Page 17...

This section provides procedures for installing the coil support structure and coils and for mounting and wiring the control unit. The installation procedures are different for dual coil and under belt single coil TMD IVs. Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector REC 4479C Page 21...
Idler spacing at the coil location must be greater than 4 ft (1.2 m). If for mechanical reasons this spacing is not possible, the distance may be reduced by using rubber impact-type idlers. Remove any deck plates, cross bracing, and return idlers located within 4 ft (1.2m) of the coil. Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector REC 4479C Page 22...
The control unit should be mounted in a vibration-free area less than 10 ft (3 m) from the coils. Mount the control unit enclosure to a rigid, flat, vertical surface using the 2-position mounting feet on the back of the enclosure (see Figure 2-1A and Figure 2-1B) Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector REC 4479C Page 23...

5. Locate the holes in the appropriate areas of the enclosure to separate high (greater than 30 V) and low (less than 30 V) voltages (see Figure 2-1A or 2-1B). Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector REC 4479C Page 25...
Field Wiring Procedure Follow all cable number specifications on the Field Wiring Diagram (D07468F-E001) when connecting wiring to the CPU board. Figure 2-2 shows the locations of the terminal blocks. Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector REC 4479C Page 26...
4. Connect all coil cables, detector wiring, control wiring and communications cables to the appropriate terminals on J-14 through J-21 (see Figure 2-1), in accordance with Field Wiring Diagram in Appendix A. Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector REC 4479C Page 27...
WARNING. Setting the thermostat excessively high may result in equipment damage. Initial Power On After the TMD IV control is mounted and wired and system devices have been installed, turn power on at the mains. Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector REC 4479C Page 28...
2. Identify (or make) a mark on the belt that’s large or noticeable enough to spot as the belt is moving at production speeds. 3. Identify a specific point on the conveyor that will act as your starting and ending reference position. Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector REC 4479C Page 29...
2. Navigate through the user interface to the Calibration screen, and select the Speed Calibration screen (see Figure 2-4) Figure 2-4. Speed Calibration Screen 3. Start the belt without burden, and wait for the speed to “settle down”. Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector REC 4479C Page 30...
) × ( ) × .80 ] 9. Manually change the Fine Sensitivity to the calculated value. You are now ready to run the belt at full speed. Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector REC 4479C Page 31...
Allow the belt to run for at least 10 full revolutions. The bar graph will indicate the current “background” detection, and an “x” drawn on one of the bars will indicate the maximum detection since the Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector REC 4479C Page 32...
If this level of control is not needed, it is possible to wire the alarm output and reset switch input directly to remote devices or panels. Refer the field wiring diagram for the location of the Alarm, Bypass, and Remote Reset connectors on the CPU board. Ramsey Oretronic IV Tramp Metal Detector REC 4479C Page 33...
