Installing the metal
detector
Lifting and moving a metal detector
Depending on the size and weight of either a crane or a fork-lift truck will be required to lift
and move it into the final location.
When a metal detector which is fitted with wheels is to be pushed on the wheels, it is
important that it is moved carefully. Avoid hitting obstacles with the wheels as this can
damage the plastic wheel inserts inside the legs.
Do not attempt to lift or move a metal detector by a reject cover. Reject covers are made of
plastic and are easily damaged.
Using a crane
• Position the straps on any unit so it will not tilt when lifted. Attach the straps to the crane.
• Lift the unit and carefully move it to the required location.
• Lower the unit and remove the straps.
• Never put straps through any aperture.
Using a fork lift truck
• Position any unit on the forks so it does not tilt. Raise the lift sufficiently to lift the unit clear
of the ground and any obstacles.
• Carefully move the unit to the required location.
• Lower the forks and withdraw them from the unit.
Removing packing materials
• Remove and discard all packing and protective materials.
EMC considerations
All Loma equipment is designed to operate under factory conditions, and has been tested to
recognised international standards for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). It is still
necessary, however, to ensure that the equipment is not subjected to excessive electrical
noise via its supply or airborne sources.
Electrical supply considerations
The unit should have its own dedicated supply, unless the line supply is known to be clean.
The earth should be robust, of low impedance and noise free.
Any dedicated supply line should run in its own conduit/trunking away from other noisy
supplies.
