1.1 - Warnings
Read this manual carefully before installing, operating or carrying out
maintenance on the device. Keep the manual in a safe place for future
reference, and in perfect condition. This manual must accompany the
device described therein in the case of change of ownership, and until
the device is broken up.
The functions accessible to users and behaviour of the system, may
differ from what described in this manual, according to the settings
made. Contact the system administrator for any questions.
1.1.1 - General warnings
This equipment complies with the directive 2004/108/EC for industrial•
applications.
All personnel operating with or performing operations on the device must•
have an adequate preparation and shall know the procedures described in
this manual.
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.
1.1.2 - Use warnings
If the device is stored for a long period in temperatures outside the•
operating range, wait for the temperature of the detector to come back
within that range before switching on.
Wheneverthereisanysuggestionthatthelevelofprotectionhasbeenreduced,•
the device should be taken out of service and secured against any possibility
of unintentional use, and authorised service technicians should be called.
The level of protection is considered to have been reduced when:
the device shows visible signs of wear and tear, especially on parts that ensures-
the device protections (boxes, gaskets, glands, fixing screws, etc.);
the Power Supply Box is not correctly closed;-
the ground connections are not compliant;-
the device has suffered mechanical or electrical stress (shocks, bumps, etc..);-

Operator ManualIndustrial Metal Detector THS/21
5FI 028 GB 2K8 v2
the device does not operate correctly, respect on how described in this-
manual;
the device has been stored for long periods in sub-optimal conditions;-
the device has suffered severe stress during transport;-
the device came into contact with corrosive substances.-
Do not supply the device when the Power Supply Box is open. Do not•
open during use.
1.1.3 – Maintenance warnings
Perform all maintenance operations following the procedures described in•
the Maintenance section of this manual.
The device must be disconnected from all power sources before•
undergoing any maintenance or cleaning, and before being moved.
Do not wash the device with liquid detergents or chemical substances. Any•
cleaning should be done using a slightly-damp, non-abrasive cloth.
Read the chapter on “Maintenance” carefully before calling the service•
centre. Whatever the problem, only specialised service personnel
authorised to work with CEIA equipment should be called.

1.2 – Correct and Forbidden use of the device
1.2.1 – Correct use of the device
The THS/21 Metal Detector is an electronic device for the detection of•
metal masses (magnetic and non-magnetic metals) transiting inside the
detection antenna (only magnetic for THS/MN21 model).
Handle the device with care and without excessive force during installation,•
use and maintenance.
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 ensure
no changes have occurred in the equipment.
The device is fitted with mechanical and electronic protections, described•
in this manual. Removing or reducing these protections is forbidden.
1.2.2 – Forbidden use of the device
The THS/21 Metal Detectors are not suitable to be installed or used in•
environments where could be present, even accidentally, an explosive
atmoshpere.
Electric arc welding shall not be carried out on the detector antenna, on•
the Control Power Box or on any part of the attached structure.

1.3 – Residual risks
Before any movement of the detector, take care about the facts that it•
could be heavy to be handled by only one person. Establish and implement
adequate procedures to perform thi s operation. CEIA cannot be held
responsible for any damage resulting from incorrect procedures.
After the maintenance of devices provided with conveyor belt, make sure•
not to leave any tool (such as screwdrivers) on the belt since they can be
hurled on switching the device on.
Before starting the system, ensure that no one else is working on the•
machine.

2.1 – Generale description
The THS/21 is an extremely compact metal detector with very high
sensitivity, controlled by a microprocessor and designed for industrial use.
The device is made up of:
2.1.1 - Antenna
The Metal Detector probe, complete of electronic control board, can have
different shapes, depending on THS model.
ATHS/SL21 for applications in reduced spaces.
BTHS/21 standard, THS/MN21 and THS/MS21.
CTHS/G21 and THS/GMS21 with circular tunnel and control
panel without keyboard, for remote control
ETHS/FB21 and THS/MB21, conveyor belt integrated systems.
The identification is performed through the label placed on the antenna:
