Operating principle
The following shows the simplified principle of a metal search detector, with an example of a conveyor belt
application. The shape and look of your application may differ, but the principle is the same.
a) Metal detector
b) Electromagnetic field
c) Product line
Metal detection
1. The seeker head creates and evaluates an electromagnetic field with the help of transmitter and receiver
coils.
2. If a metal body enters the field, the signal indication display deflects in one direction.
see too chapter Operation
3. If the metal body leaves the field, the display deflects in the opposite direction.
If both switching thresholds are reached, metal is detected.
If metal is detected, several outputs, depending on your configuration, can be used to query the events: At
least one Relay and a 24V (output A1) are available for your queries.

-9- General information
General notes on metal detection
Electro-magnetic short circuits
Certain metal frame constructions in conveyor belt frames (see drawing) and suspensions (e.g. castors, cross-
bars, adaptor plates) can act as an electro-magnetic loop in the vicinity of the metal detector, affecting the
magnetic field of the metal detector. Closed conductive loops must either be welded tight, or interrupted, e.g.
with unilateral isolation.
Example:
a) Conveyor belt frame
b) Conveyor belt motor
c) Isolation
1. If the crossbar is permanently welded, the electromagnetic effect on the metal detector remains
constant and does not negatively affect the field of the metal detector.
If the crossbar is only bolted, a constantly conducting connection cannot be guaranteed. The metal
detector is negatively affected by the changing conductor loop.
2. Rollers and moving parts that form a conductor loop must be insulated at one end (see fig. 3.), in
order to interrupt the conductor loop.
Electrostatic discharges
Prevent at all cost electrostatic discharges to the metal detector and surrounding construction components
using the appropriate earthing. Electrostatic discharges can cause false signals and at worst, destroy the
analysis electronics.

-10- General information
Differences in sensitivity within the outlet opening
Please note, that the detector coil does not create a homogeneous electromagnetic field. As a consequence,
differences in sensitivity occur in the outlet opening. The least sensitive part of the detector is in the middle
of the outlet opening.
Sensitivity distribution taking the example of a
C-coil (1) and a CR-coil (2):
a) Area of highest sensitivity
b) Area of lowest sensitivity
Sensitivity differences of different metal types
Please note, that different metal types influence the electromagnetic field to a different degree. Please read
the metal-type dependent maximum sensitivity degrees in the data sheet.
Position-dependency of the metal parts
Metal detection can be dependent on the position and orientation of the metal part, depending on the shape
of the metal part. The maximum sensitivity values of the data sheet are tested with ball-shaped test parts.
Generally speaking, all metal parts that have at least the same diameter as the balls used for the data-sheet
values can be detected with certainty, irrespective of position and orientation.
Testing at regular intervals
Normally, errors of the detector itself are recognized by the self-monitoring system. However it cannot be
excluded that errors may occur which are not detected. Changes in the environment of the detector (e.g. new
machines) can influence the function of the detector.
For this reason, settings and function of the metal detector must be checked at regular intervals with suitable
test equipment.
Environmental and weather influences
The metal detector has to be protected against environmental and weather influences (direct sun, wind,
frost). The detector has to be especially protected from direct or indirect insulation when heating up is
above the allowed temperature. High surface temperatures can lead to false detections and destruction
of the metal detector in the worst case. A suitable protection device must therefore be provided (do not
use metal walls or roofing covers made from metal!)
.

-11- Safety
Operation of the device as provided
The device only serves for detecting metal in flight conveyors. The following products
are excluded:

-16- Safety

-17- Actuation
General
It is our company’s goal to ship the metal detector to the customer with as many pre-configured settings as
possible. If the machine is shipped with factory default settings, it should be noted, that the factory defaults
are the best possible compromise between maximally attainable detection precision and lowest possible
sensitivity to interference. The data sheet sensitivities are achieved with detection threshold settings between
20 and 10.
In order to adapt the settings to your own needs, a schematic sequence is provided below in which the start
up should ideally take place. Only the sequence is described. The individual explanations of the menu items
must be read in the operating instructions.
Safety procedures before taking the device into operation
Before actuating the metal detector at least the following parts of the device must be
checked:
Is the device damaged anywhere?
Are the electric ports and mains undamaged?
Are all protective covers fitted and free of damage?
Are all pneumatic supplies and mains undamaged (if installed)?
The device can start if everything is perfect.
Danger due to incorrect assembly and commissioning!
Assembly and commissioning require trained technical personnel with sufficient
experience. Errors made during assembly can lead to life-threatening situations or
result in considerable material damages.
Actuation 3

-18- Actuation
Actuation manual
1. Clean the metal detector
If the product is not allowed to have contact with foreign matter, all surfaces having contact with the product
must be cleaned before start-up operation.
Please follow the safety instructions!
see chapter Maintenance and cleaning Cleaning
2. Assemble metal detector
Assemble the metal detector according to the information provided in the chapter „Assembly“.
see chapter Assembly
3. Connecting the 24V switching exits and relays
Connect the 24V switching exits and relays as needed. Please follow the indications in the chapter Set-up.
see chapter Assembly Connection
4. Connect power supply
see chapter Assembly Connection Supply voltage
5. Switch metal detector on
Having assembled the detector mechanically, as a first step it is taken into operation. Under this condition
the detector is only subject to external influences (peripheral disturbances). If at this point faulty responses
are triggered, you have to try and find the source of the disturbance and to correct the error. For this switch
off all machines (motors, actuation, etc.) in the direct surroundings of the metal detector so that the metal
signal of the metal detecting device stays within the triggering range. As a next step the device is taken again
into operation step by step.
After each step control the measure signal in order to locate the disturbance, that causes an increased noise
level. If a noise suppression is not possible, remains only an increase of the detection threshold, until there
are no more false alarms.
see chapter Adjustment Operating level 1 Detection level
The metal detector is now fully assembled and connected.
All further points are concerned with the most important adjustments
that should be made to your machine in order to ensure trouble-free
operation with the maximum possible sensitivity.
