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
providing excellent product quality control, it provides protection for
machinery by letting you know there is metal in your product before it
causes costly damage.
Pipeline metal detector systems are used to inspect pumped products such
as liquids or emulsions.
It is very important that the temperature and
pressure limits of the pipeline not be exceeded.
Please see the burst
pressure chart (Figure X) in this manual.
Remember, the maximum operating
pressure should not exceed ½ of the burst pressure.
The metal detector search head is manufactured to suit specific product
requirements, thereby ensuring maximum sensitivity. It is essentially a
single oscillator-driven loop with twin receiving coils. All three coils
are mounted in a welded stainless steel enclosure and completely filled
with epoxy for protection against water and vibration.
When correctly balanced, the signals in the two receiving coils cancel
(i.e. they are equal in magnitude and opposite in sign). As metal passes
between the oscillator and a receiving coil, the current induced in that
coil changes. This causes an imbalance which is amplified and detected in
the electronic control unit.
The Series 1200E metal detector uses surface mount technology and
integrated circuits. All electronic components are mounted on a single
circuit board. Automatic balance compensation eliminates the need for
manual balancing. Internal timing circuitry controls reject and alarm
devices, and can also be used to stop auxiliary equipment upon detection
of metal.
The Series 1200E metal detector is an analog detector with a digital
interface. All controls and adjustments are made with a push-button keypad
and are shown on the LCD display. Product settings can be stored for quick
line changeovers. Other features include dual password protection and
built-in detect counter.
