1.2.3 Use warnings
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.
- 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.
- Do not supply the device when the Power Supply Box is open.
- Trapping and drawing in hazard. Do not place body parts, clothing or dangling objects close
to the device. Do not wear loose fitting clothing which might become trapped in the machine.
If you have long hair, wear a hair net. Do not wear protruding or hanging items, such as
bracelets, ties, necklaces, scarves, etc.
- During use do not insert body parts or objects inside the material transit tunnel.
- Do not obstruct product transit.
- When the machine is operating, only use the control panels and the emergency stop buttons
to control the machine.
- Before you start the conveyor belt, check that the reject bin and its cover are present and
correctly positioned.
- Before you make any changes to the machine configuration, switch off the machine.
Changes to machine configuration may only be made by authorized personnel who have
control of the work area.
- Whenever there is any suggestion that the level of protection has been reduced, the device
should be taken out of service and secured against accidental start-up. Call an authorized
service technician for assistance.
The level of protection is considered to have been reduced when:
- the device shows visible signs of wear and tear, especially on parts that ensure the
device protections (boxes, gaskets, glands, fixing screws, etc.);
- the power supply box is not correctly closed;
- the earth/ground connections are not compliant;
- the device has suffered mechanical or electrical damage (knocks, shocks, bumps, etc.);
- the device does not operate correctly or as specified 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 has come into contact with corrosive substances.
- Empty the reject bin at regular intervals. Exercise caution when emptying the bin because it
could be heavy or contain very hot material. Define and implement a procedure for this
operation. CEIA declines all liability for injury to persons or damage to property caused by
incorrect emptying of the reject bin.
- The absence of a reject bin or a system for collecting ejected product can cause material to
be deposited on the floor thereby creating a tripping and slipping hazard.
- Hard knocks to parts of the compressed air system can cause damage leading to leaks,
bursting or the escape of compressed air.
- The machine is not fitted with a safety valve which depressurizes the compressed air system
in the event of a power failure that causes the lighting to fail. Automatic ejection systems
(pusher cylinder or air jet types) will be powered down in the event of a power failure.
- In some models, the drive motor of the conveyor belt is covered by a metal guard except on
the lower side and on the side facing the inside of the machine. Burns hazard: guard
surfaces are very hot.
- Burns hazard. Caution hot surfaces. If the weight carried on the belt exceeds the limits
specified in the technical data this will cause the motor to overheat. If dirt residues are not
cleaned from the machine at regular intervals this will also cause the motor to overheat.
- Although the power of the laser beam used in barcode readers is very low, it can be
dangerous to the human eye if stared into for long periods of time.
