Preparing to install a detector
All stand-mounted pipeline metal detectors are dispatched from Loma in the following state:
• Wheels are locked.
• Spanners required for installing and maintaining the detector are supplied.
• The reject valve is packed separately in bubble-wrapping.
Connecting the detector
• Connect the automatic reject valve to the body of the detector.
• Slacken the height adjustment handle, taking care that the detector does not rise too
quickly on the gas-filled strut. Carefully adjust the height of the unit so that the input and
output ports are aligned with the existing pipe system and the weight of the detector is
fully supported on the wheels. Fully tighten the adjustment handle.
• Wheels are levelled with the floor and locked.
• Connect the unit to the existing pipe system.
