Primary Application
Large conveyors. Continuous material flow. Integrated metal detection.
The detector is intended for bulk-handling installations where large quantities of material move continuously and at considerable belt speed. It gives turnkey EPC contractors and system integrators a configurable electronics platform that can be engineered into the conveyor, control panel and plant sequence.

Designed Around EPC Project Requirements
- Suitable for new conveyor packages and detector retrofit projects.
- Supports large-aperture search-coil arrangements subject to application validation.
- Healthy, direct and timed relay outputs for PLC, alarm, belt-stop or downstream action.
- Configurable sensitivity and timing for the operating sequence and conveyor conditions.
- Diagnostic screens simplify commissioning, tuning and field troubleshooting.
- EIB support for coil matching, electronics, panel integration, wiring and validation.
For EPCs, OEMs & Machine Builders
Detector electronics designed for practical integration.
The system separates the detector electronics and door-mounted display into two connected assemblies, giving project engineers freedom to design the search-coil structure, metal enclosure, cable routing and operator interface around the conveyor package.
Detector and I/O Control PCBRetrofit-Oriented Connections
Physical dimensions and external terminal numbering support replacement of an existing detector system. Search-coil wiring can remain consistent, subject to application-specific tuning changes.
Metal-Enclosure Installation
The detector electronics are intended for installation in a protective metal enclosure with suitable space, conduit entries and cable management for search coils and machine wiring.
Commissioning Support
Factory and field settings combine onboard tuning with display-based configuration. EIB can support coil matching, integration checks and onsite commissioning.
Operator Experience
Clear status, controlled access and useful diagnostics.
The 4-line display guides normal operation, configuration and troubleshooting without requiring a separate computer.
Automatic Startup Check
At power-up the system checks internal generation, transmitter feedback, transmitter tuning and receiver connections before normal operation.
Live Detection Status
The running screen presents ferrous amplitude, non-ferrous amplitude, programmed detection level and current system status.
Protected Configuration
Password-controlled editing provides access to sensitivity, direct-output timing, delayed-output timing, rejection duration and counter reset.
Signal-Level Diagnostics
A diagnostic screen displays transmitter output, ferrous and non-ferrous receiver levels, and feedback amplitude for commissioning.
