MODEL PL PLATE COIL

Plate coils can either be mounted under a previously 
prepared metal free section such as wood or fiberglass 
 or if the plate coil is a SF or SFC type item directly 
mounted onto the base of a metal-sided conveyor.

In the latter case if the base of the conveyor is metal,  
a section of it must be removed for the length of the 
coil plus 1/8" (3mm). The search coil can be drilled into 
or through in any of the crossed areas shown on the 
drawing supplied with the search coil.

The PL search coil should be mounted such that the 
conveyor belt passes above the plain surface of the 
coil with the resin side facing down.

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 
CONNECTING RFI FILTERS TO HIGH FREQUENCY 
INVERTER DRIVES

Because of the complex circuit design used in these 
filters a Ground Leakage Current of 8 to 80MA may 
be observed. It is possible that nuisance trip ping of 
extremely sensitive type of ground fault cir cuit breaker 
may occur so this figure should be considered when 
choosing such a device. It is im portant to provide 
well-defined paths for the high frequency currents 
involved. The best results are achieved when both 
filter and inverter are mounted securely on the same 
conducting, grounded backplate and not on rails etc.
