SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS -
W
ARNINGS
5
Read this Manual carefully before installing or operating the device and before carrying out maintenance operations.
1SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – WARNINGS
1.1 General warnings
- All personnel operating on the device must have an adequate preparation and shall know the
procedures described in this Manual.
- Observe current regulations regarding electrical and personal safety for both the operator
and the installer when installing the device.
- Any modification to the system is forbidden and void all warranties and certifications.
- Follow the instructions contained in this Manual for all operations relating to installation, use
and maintenance of the device.
CEIA cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting from procedures which are not
expressly indicated in this Manual, or from any lack of attention, either partial or total, of the
procedures described therein.
- This Manual must accompany the device described therein in the case of change of
ownership, and until the device is broken up.
1.2 Correct use of the device
- The Metal Detectors from the THS/21E and THS/21 series are electronic devices for the
detection of metal masses transiting inside the detection antenna.
- The final user is responsible for selecting the appropriate sensitivity for their application.
After this selection has been made, and programming has been adjusted accordingly, it is
also the final user's responsibility to verify calibration using the test object(s) appropriate to
the level of security selected. Additionally, this test should be carried out periodically to
insure no changes have occurred in the equipment.

The list of parameters and menus, accessible by each users, together with the system behaviors, can change in respect
of this Manual description, depending on the settings modifications. Contact the System Administrator for any
information.
2.1 Access to Programming
Upon access to Programming a user name and a password are requested.
Each type of operator can access a specific set of parameters, consisting of one or more menus.
2.1.1 Factory preset configuration
When first switched on, the Metal Detector is configured with predefined users with access parameters as described in
the following table:

2.1.1.2 Remote Communication
For the Remote Communication, two access type are provided:
- Only the password (predefined password is 000006). This access type is selected by default.
- User and Password exactly as a local access (see table above).
To select which access type to use, see parameters RM and AURM.
Only the Administrator operator can manage all the users.
It is Administrator responsibility to redefine all predefined access data in order to avoid unauthorized access to
programming.
2.2 Administrator functions
The Administrator has total control over the configuration of the Metal Detector and can define the
roles of the staff that will be working with it. The Administrator's prerogatives, therefore, are the
following:
- Modifying or deleting existing operators and/or setting new passwords.
- Defining new operators and their passwords.
- Authorization for operators to access operational parameters, grouped into menus.
- Total access to all operating parameters.
2.3 Configuration of the system by the Administrator
2.3.1 Programming
The Administrator can program the detector independently to define its operational configuration, or
can delegate one or more functions to the operators.
2.3.2 Users
The Administrator defines the users that work with the detector according to their respective
responsibilities. The Administrator therefore gives the user:
- an user name and a password for access to Programming
- the indication of the operational parameters that the user can modify or display.
The Administrator can define up to 40 users (including the Administrator).
It is imperative that the Administrator responsible for the device redefines the users and passwords pre-set in the factory
in order to block access to Programming on the part of unauthorized personnel.
It is not possible to modify the username ADMINI.
THS/21 is the first system on the market that allows complete personalization of product names and of the users that work
with them (name and surname, user name, password, …).

2.8 Programming the Metal Detector according to the kind of product
The operating mode of the Metal Detector is to be determined according to the kind of product to
be inspected, in order to obtain:
- the minimization of the ”product effect” (see below);
- the determination of the detectable metallic Test Samples (see below);
- a correct ejection mode configuration according to the product (see also Installation Manual);
The factory settings (product DEFAULT) are suitable for dry products.
It is always advisable to optimise installation in line with the criteria described in the installation Manual in order to obtain
maximum sensitivity and maximum rejection of environmental interference.
2.8.1 Procedure for minimizing the "product effect"
The goal of this procedure is to obtain the following operating mode:
a) the detector does not set off an alarm when some of the pure product, without any metallic
contamination, passes through the probe.
b) the detector sets off an alarm when some of the product containing a metallic sample passes
through the probe
2.8.2 Procedure for automatic product acquisition
This procedure comprises the automatic acquisition of non-contaminated product characteristics in
order to identify the contribution to the received signal due to the metal mass to be detected. The
characteristics are acquired progressively by making the product pass through the Metal Detector
several times.
The procedure must be completed once started. Do not change any parameter setting during the procedure.

Pass some pure product through the detector: the device should not set off any alarm. If the detector gives an alarm
whenever some of the pure product passes through the probe, repeat the procedure, increasing the number of transits (see
point 3.). At the end of this second procedure, the pure product is still giving alarm, decrease the “Sensitivity” parameter
until the detector does not give an alarm (this is probably due to non-uniformity of the product).
9
Pass some of the product with the metallic sample: the detector should give an alarm. If any alarm is given,
increase the size of the metallic sample gradually, until locating its minimum dimension that will be detected with at least 5 dB,
in order to ensure the detection of the sample in every transit position.
In the case that the size of the metallic samples has been modified, communicate them
immediately to the Head of Quality Control or to the Administrator, so as to let them to change
their values in the relative menu.

Some parameters require the use of Input Devices and/or Relays. Therefore, the settings of these parameters have
effect only on Metal Detectors that have Input lines and Relays involved (See Installation Manual).
The parameter standard settings can change according to the Metal Detector System. For each Metal Detector unit, they
are reported on the Factory Acceptance Test Sheet attached to the Installation and Maintenance Manual.
