4.1.2 Acoustic indicators
Systems fitted with a Control Power Box and Conveyor Control System have an internal acoustic
warning device (buzzer) which sounds to indicate a fault or metal detection.
The external beacon, by default, sounds only to indicate faults, but can also be programmed to sound
when the detector detects metal fragments. In this case refer to the Programming Manual for more
information.
