B. Electric wiring and installing
In order to reach the best performance of AMP-EE01 Eagle Eyes metal & spark
diverter, proper electric wiring and installing is the most important approach. Please
be sure to read this “User manual” carefully before installation. And the
installation environment and conditions for further correct measurement and
evaluation.
1、Installing
1.1 The installation of the connecting pipe of spark detectors
A）Spark detectors
B）-X95 junction box
C）Flange
D）Observation window
Figure 1：The connecting pipe of spark detectors
The connecting pipe of the spark detectors can be installed to the pipeline directly,
a side connected with the existing pipeline by flange, the other side connected with
the glass steel pipe by a clamp.
1.2 The installation of the metal detector

B）-X90 junction box
C）Hoisting ring
D）Insulating washer
E）Hanging support
Figure 2: Parts and dimension of the metal detector

AMPEON AMP-Series

1) Metal detector can be hung up at the four hoisting rings by metal rods. Metal
detector should be installed firmly, to avoid incorrect detecting caused by the
vibrating.
2) Make sure the shielded cables for signal receiving and transferring between
the metal detector and control box is connected reliably ，then fix it without
vibrating . Connector cables are part of the sensor and have to be protected against
interferences.
3) Metal detector should keep a certain distance from the things that generate
the electromagnetic radiation such as electric motor, transformer and fluorescent
lamp etc. Furthermore, it should keep a certain distance from big moving metal
object. The cables with big current should be also kept a distance from the detector.
1.3 The installing of control box

B）Control panel
C）Cable Gland
Figure 3：Parts and External dimension of control box
Usually the control box is installed on the Support of the collecting box (Figure 4.E). Of
course you can also install control box on the nearby wall .
1.4 The installing of actuator unit
The actuator unit is composed of two parts: diverter and collecting box（refer to
Figure 4）.The collecting box is installed under the diverter and be careful not to
reversely installed and assure that the collect valve (Figure 4:D) can act flexibly.

M) Photoelectric switch
Figure 4: Parts and external dimension of actuator unit
The diverter is connected to the existing pipeline by square to round joint pipe
and installed with metal rods, and when installing, pay attention to the direction of
inlet and outlet. Because the diverter adopts the fast reaction pneumatic mechanism,
600～800kPa stable and clean compressed air must be provided.
The photoelectric switch is used to be a level sensor. It indicates when collection
box is nearly full.
When the displayer is show “The collecting box is full”, the collecting box must
be emptied immediately.
ATTENTION！
The collecting box should be installed to a proper site to avoid the diverted
material falling on the cotton bale or other machines, when the door of the
collecting box is opened.
ATTENTION！
When emptying the collecting box, the bottom of the diverter (especially the
movable flap) may not be touched! There is danger on injury due to sudden
movement parts.

1.5 The standard installation
Before installing the AMPEE01, you need to calculate the right distance between
the metal detector and the diverter. You can do this with the following formula.
Distance[m]= Transport velocity[m/s]*Reaction time[s]*Safety factor
The Distance is the metal detector to the diverter.
The Transport velocity is the material transport velocity in the pipeline.
The Reaction time is defined as the time taken by diverter to reach activated
position after receiving a switching impulse.
The range of the Safety factor is 1.2~1.3.
The ‘ I ’ in the following figure 5 is a piece of connection pipe, it should be
supplied by customer. The length of the pipe is normally from 2m to 4m,
corresponding to transport velocity from 10m/s to 25m/s;

2.6 Earthing and safety
a) You should earth properly according to the safety standard of local
government. This equipment needs to be separately earthed. It is suggested that the
earthing wire be as short as possible and it is prohibited to earth it together with
other equipments.
b) While overhauling, please first shut down the power supply and interrupt the
compressed air supply. The temperature of the radiator is very high. So don’t touch
it to avoid burn.
c) After the fire alarm is activated, you should shut down the general power
supply of the procedure and then put out the fire.
d) The function test or maintenance work that needs climbing should be carried
out by more than two people.

①The metal detecting Sensitivity Parameter range is 0-99%,the lowest is 0 and
the highest is 99%. The percentage is higher, the sensor is more sensitive.
②You can set the ‘Sensitivity’ parameter according to the actual requirement.
The value in the range 40-65% can satisfy most of the users in spinning mills.
2）Activate
‘Activate’ parameter refers to the additional time by the software from detects
the metal is detected to the diverter is actuated. Use the key ‘◄, ►’ can set the
parameter. The setting precision of the activate parameter is 0.01S and the setting
range is 0.00S-3.00S. If press ‘◄, ►’for 3 seconds simultaneously, the data would
change continuously.
Warning:
The parameter is closely related to the length of connection pipe and the
Transport, so if it was set improperly, that might cause the diverter acts
incorrectly.
3）Reset
‘Reset’ parameter refers to the additional time by the software from the
activated position to the normal position of the movable flap. Use ‘◄, ►’ to set the
parameter of ‘Reset’, the range is 1.00S-3.00S and the setting precision is 0.01S.If
press ‘◄, ►’simultaneously for 3 seconds, the data would change continuously.
Warning:
If the parameter is set too low, maybe that material including the metal can not
be diverted, but if the parameter is set too high, more contaminated material
