Manual Set-Up - Advanced Detection Systems 1200E Series Installation Manual And Owner's Manual

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. Use Menus 57 - 58.
1. Set "Wet" or "Dry."
Check that the wet/dry indicator is in the correct position. "Dry" is for
non-conductive products; "Wet" is for conductive products. If you are
uncertain of your product type, then begin with the indicator in the dry
position. Use the keypad and Menus 52 and 53.
2. Set field strength to "High." Check that the field strength indicator
is in the high position. It should be set to low only for very conductive
products such as some fresh meats, cheese, and pickles. Use Menus 49 and
51.
3. Set sensitivity at 30 and phase at 0. Use Menus 46-48.
(Note: In the following steps the detector will trigger when the settings
are changed. Allow sufficient time for the metal detector to reset after
changing settings before determining if the detector is triggering on the
product.)
4. Pass the product through the metal detector. See "Tips" elsewhere in
this manual.
5. If the product is detected, increase the phase setting by 10 until a
point is found that allows the product to pass without being detected.
Record this setting on a chart as indicated in Fig. 6. If no setting can
be found which allows the product to pass, follow procedures for "Set-Up
of Difficult Products."
6. Continue to increase the phase setting by 10 until the detector again
detects the product. On the chart, record the last setting that allowed
the product to pass without being detected.
7. Increase the sensitivity to 40 and repeat Steps 3 through 6.
8. Continue this process, increasing the sensitivity by 10, until the
product is detected at all phase settings. If you do not find this point,
see "Adjustment of Sensitivity Range."
9. Ultimately a low and high phase setting will be determined for each
sensitivity setting. Plot this on a graph, similar to Fig. 6.
