Installing the metal
detector
Connecting the electrical supply
The system requires a single-phase ac supply with earth and neutral as indicated by the
voltage label on the enclosure.
The supply is connected via the main isolator located on the right-hand side of the control
box when facing the detector controls.
When routing the main supply source to your system ensure the cable routing does not pass
through nor run parallel to any electrically noisy enclosures or cables. Do not mix main
supply cables with signal cables.
Power cabling must be rated at no less than 5A current carrying capacity and must be either
3-core cable fed through a flexible conduit or 3-core armoured cable.
• Power cabling for a UL approved model is 20-16AWG fed from a locally positioned switch
or circuit breaker that is within easy reach of the operator. The breaker must be labelled as
the disconnecting device for the equipment. Cable tightening torque is 5.5in/lbs routing
into the control box as in the above diagram.
• Insert the cable through a suitable gland.
• Split the cable inside the box and cut the wires to suitable lengths.
