SYMBOLS
The equipment is marked with this symbol wherever the user should refer to this manual in order to avoid possible
damage. The same symbol appears in the manual at points where warnings or particularly important instructions,
essential for safe, correct operation of the device, are given.
The equipment is marked with this symbol in the areas where there is dangerous voltage. Only trained maintenance
personnel should carry out work in these areas. The same symbol appears in the manual at points where essential safety
warnings are given.
The equipment is marked with this symbol in the areas where the user must be careful to avoid crushing of hands. Only
trained maintenance personnel should carry out work in these areas. The same symbol appears in the manual at points
where essential safety warnings are given.
The equipment is marked with this symbol in the areas where the user must be careful to avoid coming into contact with
moving components. Only trained maintenance personnel should carry out work in these areas. The same symbol
appears in the manual at points where essential safety warnings are given.
The equipment is marked with this symbol in the areas where the user must be careful to avoid crushing of feet. Only
trained maintenance personnel should carry out work in these areas. The same symbol appears in the manual at points
where essential safety warnings are given.
The equipment is marked with this symbol in the areas where there is the danger of unexpected bursts of compressed air.
Only trained maintenance personnel should carry out work in these areas. The same symbol appears in the manual at
points where essential safety warnings are given.
LASER LIGHT: This symbol appears in this manual at those points where warnings or information relating to laser
pointing devices are given. Such devices may be dangerous. It is therefore essential that the guidelines in this
manual be followed.
The equipment is marked with this symbol wherever the user must not have access to potentially dangerous areas.
CEIA Metal Detectors employ low intensity electromagnetic fields in compliance with current legislation.
MAGNETIC FIELDS can affect pacemakers. Wearers of pacemakers, cardiac defibrillators and other life support devices
must not operate in proximity of the inductor or the heating inductors of this device.
Wearers of pacemakers must not use the Metal Detectors of the THS/MN21 series which use static electromagnetic
fields. Wearers should consult their doctor for advice on avoiding this hazard.
This symbol appears in the manual at points where suggestions, additional information or other relevant notes are given.

1.2 Warnings
1.2.1 General warnings
- Failure to comply with one or more of the instructions in this Manual increases the risk of an
incident. Follow ALL the instructions in this Manual.
- All personnel operating with or performing operations on the device must have adequate
preparation and must know the procedures and warnings 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 configuration set up by CEIA is forbidden and will 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 declines all liability for damage caused by failure to
follow the instructions in this manual or for damage caused by non-permitted use, improper
use or negligence.
- This manual must accompany the device described herein in the case of change of
ownership and until the device is decommissioned.
- Before you move the detector, check its weight. It could be too heavy to be handled by one
person. Use suitable handling methods and tools. CEIA may not be held responsible for
injury to persons or damage to property resulting from not following a procedure.
- On integrated systems fitted with castors, lock the castors to prevent accidental movement.
1.2.2 Installation warnings
Observe current regulations regarding electrical and personal safety for both the operator and the installer when installing
the device.
- If a CEIA integrated system is installed within a production line, the purchaser is responsible for
commissioning the machine only after the entire production line has been verified as compliant.
- If a CEIA integrated system with an ejection system is used and is not installed within a
production line, at the exit of the belt a further unloading belt needs to be provided at the belt
exit, with a fixed guard to prevent operators accessing the ejection area with their hands or
limbs. The distance from the ejector must comply with table 1 of UNI EN 13857. The guard can
also be purchased from CEIA.
- The equipment must be installed in well-lit surroundings (minimum average 500 LUX
maintained) where there is no need for additional lighting. Natural light, where sufficient, is
enough to illuminate the parts to be inspected.
- The equipment must be installed in a position where there is sufficient space for the operator to
work in complete safety.
- Make all electrical connections following the procedures described in the Installation section of
this manual.
- If the CEIA integrated system is connected in line with other machines, the emergency buttons
must be connected in such a way that activating one emergency button on the line stops all the
machines on that line.
- In integrated systems with ejection system and reject bin, the frequency of emptying the bin
must be assessed: if this frequency is more than once a shift, the "Activation of emergency with
bin absent" option must be installed.
- Position the device as far away as possible from sources of electromagnetic interference, such
as transformers or motors.
- This device contains electrical and electronic components and may therefore be susceptible to
fire. Do not install in potentially explosive atmospheres or in contact with inflammable material.
Do not use water or foam in the case of fire when the device is powered up.
- The power supply to the equipment must be fitted with a main ON-OFF switch which completely
shuts down the power supply to the equipment. Unless otherwise specified, before you start
maintenance on the machine you should switch off and lock out the power supply at this switch.
- Only make the connections to the internal terminals of the power supply unit when the unit is
disconnected from the mains.
