AL applications
This requires the uncoupling of the AL machine from the filler hinge block and re-coupling it
to the replica hinge block on the outfeed of the metal detector assembly.
If the metal detector does not have a fitted power cable, power is connected as described in
Connecting electrical supplies, page 93.
The VF200 and 300 models reject system used with this model is Stop-On-Detect, a pair of
voltage free relay contacts are wired into a dual connector as shown in the previous
illustration. This will require the removal of the AL connection cable from the utensil socket
on the rear of the filler, the metal detector dual connector is located in that socket and the AL
re-connected to the back of the dual connector.
For VF600 models the connector maybe a single or dual type depending upon the
application requirements. Generally the single connector is connected into the second of the
pair of utensil sockets located on the rear of the filler.
Short Hinge applications
The detector is located on the filler output hinge connection will be via 1/4 turn RD80 fittings.
This unit can have an automatic reject device fitted in which case it will have an additional
stand mount. It may also precede a clipping machine.
If the metal detector does not have a fitted power cable, power is connected as described in
Connecting electrical supplies, page 93.
If a pneumatically-operated reject valve is fitted, then the unit will require a compressed air
supply for the valve of between 6.0 and 8.0 bar (90-116psi). The minimum air pressure
should not fall below 75psi (5.2 bar) when the valve operates. The air supply must be dry and
lubricated. Connection is made to the input port of the 5-port valve via a 10mm O/D air tube.
Checking the detector
• Check that all couplings are securely tightened and that the unit is not fitted in such a way
as to distort the assembly.
• Check all electrical and pneumatic connections as applicable are secure and connected
correctly.
• If a stand is fitted check that all four wheels are securely located on the floor and are
locked.
