General notes on metal detection Electro-magnetic short circuits Certain metal frame constructions in conveyor belt frames (see drawing) and suspensions (e.g. castors, cross- bars, adaptor plates) can act as an electro-magnetic loop in the vicinity of the metal detector, affecting the magnetic field of the metal detector.
Page 12
Differences in sensitivity within the outlet opening Please note, that the detector coil does not create a homogeneous electromagnetic field. As a consequence, differences in sensitivity occur in the outlet opening. The least sensitive part of the detector is in the middle of the outlet opening.
Page 13
Safety 2 Operation of the device as provided The device only serves for detecting metal in flight conveyors. The following products are excluded: those contained in metallic or partially metallic casings, electrically conductive products products containing desired metal constituents. Since these products could possibly disturb the sensitivity of the metal detector, they may only be examined after consulting the manufacturer beforehand.

Actuation 3 General It is our company’s goal to ship the metal detector to the customer with as many pre-configured settings as possible. If the machine is shipped with factory default settings, it should be noted, that the factory defaults are the best possible compromise between maximally attainable detection precision and lowest possible sensitivity to interference.
Page 20
Actuation manual 1. Clean the metal detector If the product is not allowed to have contact with foreign matter, all surfaces having contact with the product must be cleaned before start-up operation. Please follow the safety instructions! see chapter Maintenance and cleaning Cleaning 2.
Page 21
6. Activate production- and transporting device As a next step the production and transporting device is taken into operation without loading products. In this state the influence of the transporting device on the metal detector becomes evident. Here also applies: If there should be incorrect triggers try to locate the cause of the disturbance and suppress it.

11. „Create product“ You can save different products (product memory). The detection threshold, the separation parameters, the frequency and the result of the product learning procedure are saved together with the product name. In order to now make settings for a new product, you must create a new product. see chapter Adjustment ...
Page 23
Assembly 4 Please note when assembling your detector the following assembly instructions in order to ensure perfect operation. Installation guidelindes Electronics Connect the metal detector to a clean, constant voltage power supply. Voltage fluctuations can cause false trippings. Therefore, a constant voltage transformer (AC line conditioner) is recommended.
Page 24
When welding at the construction where the metal detector is mounted, disconnect the metal detector from the power supply and do not use the control panel mounting surface as a ground. Warding near the metal detector will lead to false trippings. Vibration less using of the control panel Mount the control panel on a vibration free surface.
Page 25
Detector general Be careful when you have more than one metal detector in operation! If several metal detectors are installed in immediate proximity, they might Interfere with each other when running at the same detection frequency (frequency overlaps).If we know in advance that you have more than one detector in operation, we do already adjust the detectors to different frequencies.
Page 26
Please clean the conveyor belt (of belt conveyors) regularly. Metal impurities cause fault detections. Please make sure the belt runs centrically on the rollers and nothing rubs on the belt. Pay attention to an electrical insulated installation. The coil feet of the detector provide for electrical isolation. Please do not remove them. Do not use anti-electrostatic (or electrically conductive) belt material.
