Mechanical Installation
The power supply unit and control unit (if remote) may be mounted as any other electrical control would be, wherever
convenient. However, the search head must be installed as per the following instructions if correct performance is to be
expected. Please contact Goring Kerr if you have any questions regarding installation requirements and restrictions.
Warning
To insure optimum performance the following considerations should be taken:
• Avoid contaminating the belt with metal fragments, weld splatters, etc. during installation.
• Use belting material designed for metal detectors. Antistatic or colored plastic chain belting may contain pigments
that could affect the performance of the metal detector.
• Variable speed drives, walkie talkies or RF transmitters may affect the performance of the metal detector.
Contact Goring Kerr for assistance.
Safety
To insure personal safety care must be taken when working on or around the metal detector conveyor. As with all such devices
the main supplies ( electrical and air ) to the conveyor must be locked off when performing repair or maintenance work. After
disconnecting the supplies to the conveyor cycle the metal detector reject device to evacuate any air left in the system. Then
switch off and lock the electrical supply to the metal detector.
Search Head Mounting And Isolation
The detector is supplied with four nylon isolation mounts and four nylon washers which should be used to attach the search
head to the conveyor. These mounts ensure a rigid, electrically isolated mounting. Be sure to drill the frame hole large enough
for the shoulder of the isolation bushing. This will isolate the bolt shaft from the frame. Care must be taken to ensure electrical
isolation of the mounting bolt and support frame. (see Figure 7)
