GENERAL INFORMATION DESCRIPTION The Advanced Detection Systems Series 1200E pipeline metal detector is suitable for the detection of ferrous and nonferrous metals in all types of pumped products such as food products, chemicals, plastics, or other products where metal can have an unwanted consequence. In addition to...

Replaceable fuses as shown below. All are of the fast-acting type. Main Power LI - Hot line 3 amp L2 - Neutral line 3 amp Output Power F1 - Hot line 3 amp F2 - Neutral line 3 amp Note: When a fuse blows it is usually an indication of a short circuit. The condition should be corrected before the new fuse is installed.
INSTALLATION MECHANICAL INSTALLATION λ The detector must be bolted securely in position, but do not twist or strain it in any way. λ Nothing should rest on the search head or touch the sides of it. λ All cover screws, bolts, etc., in the vicinity of the detector must be tight for correct operation.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION WARNING: Whenever wiring is to be done to the terminal strip of the detector, make sure ALL sources of power have been disconnected. Terminals 3 through 9 may be powered from sources other than those supplying the metal detector. Caution should be used when working on machinery as components may stop and start automatically without warning.
TERMINAL CONNECTIONS WARNING: Whenever wiring is to be done to the terminal strip of the detector, make sure ALL sources of power have been disconnected. Terminals 3 through 9 may be powered from sources other than those supplying the metal detector. Caution should be used when working on machinery as components may stop and start automatically without warning.
Outputs For Reject and Signal Devices The detector has internal timing circuitry for the control of a variety of reject and alarm devices. Instructions for setting the reject delay and operate timing are given later in this manual. The outputs that are configurable can be changed by using the keypad (see Menus 67 - 70 on the flow chart).
Wiring for a Reject Device, Light, or Alarm See Fig. 3. Verify that the device is rated for the correct voltage. Devices that activate when power is applied should use the normally open configuration. Devices that activate by an interruption of power should use the normally closed configuration.

To determine if your product should use high or low field strength, observe the calibration indicators as the product passes through the metal detector. If the lights brighten as the product passes, then the field strength should probably be set on low. Use the keypad and Menus 49 and 51 to change field strength.
NAVIGATING THE MENU A "Menu Flow Chart" (Fig. 5) shows all of the possible commands which can appear on the display, and their relationship. We've tried to simplify the menu system by minimizing the number of screens and buttons. With a little practice, it should become quite easy to find your way around.
Vegetables, bakery, and pasta produce a smaller signal but are still considered wet. Dry products, such as paper, plastic, rice, frozen items, and nuts, produce a small signal or no signal. Metal detectors are designed to "tune out" or compensate for the signals created by the product.
TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL AUTO-LEARN Follow these hints to assure the best results when learning product: 1. Pick a sample product that is representative of products that will be run during production. 2. Make sure the learn procedure is done under the same conditions as production.
MANUAL SET-UP If for some reason you prefer to set up the metal detector manually, follow these steps to determine the best phase and sensitivity settings for your product. These will be the optimum settings for reducing the product effect, and can be stored in memory for later recall. If a reject device has already been connected, disable the device while you're determining the product settings.
After plotting, a curve will form. All points inside the curve indicate settings that allow the detector to overlook any product effect. Points outside the curve are settings which would result in false detects caused by the product itself. The optimum settings are found at the highest sensitivity within the curve.
SET-UP FOR DIFFICULT PRODUCTS If no phase setting can be found which allows the product to pass through the unit undetected, change the wet/dry indicator to the wet position (use Menus 52 and 53). Return to Step 3 of "Manual Adjust". If a phase setting still cannot be found, set the wet/dry indicator to dry and the field strength to low.
ADJUSTMENT OF SENSITIVITY RANGE NOTE: In the Auto-Learn mode the sensitivity range is automatically set by the metal detector. The metal detector is supplied with the sensitivity range set to the correct value for the product being inspected and the sensitivity desired. On rare occasions the range may need altering if the metal detector has too little or too much sensitivity.
Set Pulse Count - In the pulse mode the reject timing is controlled by a pulse generator attached to one of the conveyor pulleys. The generator creates 100 pulses per revolution of the conveyor pulley. The metal detector has internal circuitry that will count the selected number of pulses before the reject device is activated.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES DATE/TIME SET-UP The metal detector has an internal "real-time" clock that keeps track of the current date and time. It is set at the factory and normally would not need to be adjusted. However, to compensate for different time zones and for changes in Daylight Savings Time, etc.
BALANCE ADJUST In order for the metal detector to operate at peak sensitivity the receiver coils of the search head must be maintained at the correct balance. The detector has automatic circuitry built in to maintain the balance of the coils and this adjustment would not normally be required. On occasion balance adjustment may be necessary due to extreme changes in operating environment, physical changes, or aging of the metal detector components.
DETECT COUNTER The detect counter is used to indicate the number of times metal has been detected since the counter was last reset. Reset the counter during product changeover for more accurate product run information. To reset the counter, use Menu 10. PASSWORD PROTECTION The Series 1200E is dual password protected to avoid unauthorized tampering.
TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING: Whenever wiring is to be done to the terminal stop of the detector, make sure ALL sources of power have been disconnected. Terminals 3 through 9 may be powered from sources other than those supplying the metal detector. Caution should be used when working on machinery as components may stop and start automatically without warning.
CONSTANT FALSE TRIPS Check to make sure that the product being inspected has not changed in any way. If a product changes in moisture, temperature, or mass it will change the product curve and the current settings could fall outside of the curve, causing false triggers.

PROCEDURE FOR BALANCING A MODEL 1200 SEARCH HEAD (Refer to the circuit board drawing and front panel layout drawing) Please read the entire instruction sheet before beginning. Observe the five red “calibration” LED’s on the detector’s front panel. Normally, the LED on the left, and maybe the second LED, will be lit to full brightness and the center LED may or may not be lit, but should be at some brightness level less than full.

A brief description of the detector’s circuits may be helpful at this time. Refer to the circuit board layout for the following explanation. The receiver section of the detector consists of two receiver coils. These coils are connected to the circuit board via the blue coaxial cable plugged into J3. One coil is connected between ground and TP2, the other is connected between ground and TP4 near the top right of the circuit board.
