Initial Setup
This manual describes only the features which can be used in Conveyor Applications. The following must be set in order for the
detector to function properly (in order):
• The application type (conveyor)
• The application parameters (belt speed, aperture size, photo eye distance)
• Reject timing
• Product compensation
• Sensitivity
All other settings are optional and will vary depending on the requirements of the user.
Important
In most applications, the metal detector parameters will already be set prior to shipment. If supplied as a system the reject timing
will also be set to the correct values. After installation and power up check the operation of the metal detector and any reject
system and adjust as required.
Most ‘dry’ product applications ( see Product Compensation pg. 29 ) will not require a product compensation adjustment. For
most ‘wet’ product applications custom product compensation will be required. Always check and record factory settings before
making changes. If changes are required use the copy product function to create a new product and perform custom settings
under this record. This way the metal detector can be returned to factory settings under product 1.
Password
The metal detector is supplied with password protection turned ‘off’. However, password protection should be enabled and
custom passwords established to prevent unauthorized changes to the metal detector settings ( see Password pg. 34 ).
