o
Aperture dimension in the range of 150 - 200mm - depending upon the band selected,
use the 300kHz upwards range.
o
Aperture dimension in the range of 225 - 300mm - depending upon the band selected,
use the 203kHz upwards range.
o
Aperture dimension in the range of 325 - 550mm - depending upon the band selected,
use the 111kHz upwards range.
Subsequent change to the value after the Search Head Setup screen is exited will change all
product memories back to the new value selected. Therefore it is advised not to revisit this
entry unless necessary.
Ferrite frequency
The IQ
3
+ ST Metal Detector uses a product called “Ferrite” to provide a pre-set compensation
value that the detector can recall to use with any product that when learnt exhibits no signals
when passed through the detector aperture.
Irrespective of whether banding is used or not the „Ferrite“ product has to be set up using the
“Tune for resistive” clear plastic wand found with in the control box area. Learning the wand is
the same as learning a product and can only be done when the PEC enable option in the
Conveyor Setup screen has been disabled.. Once Ferrrite has been learnt then further access
should be denied to prevent accidental use. To do this, navigate to the
Service Options
screen and un-tick the Access ferrite option check box.
Factory frequency setting for ferrite is selected from the smallest aperture dimension and will
be the same as the default frequency. Therefore, depending upon the band selected, it will be
from the same range listed above. Should there be a change to the set band then the ferrite
memory would have to be re-learnt using a frequency from the new band used.
The ferrite frequency is normally set to the same value as the default frequency. Tap the
arrow to the right of the field to display the drop down list of available frequencies and select
the frequency to be used.
Alarm sense
This option allows you to set the electrical state for the alarm circuit, which will affect the fault
and run error outputs. Options of Energise and De-Energise are available with the default
being Energise.
Tap the arrow to the right of the field to display the drop down list of available options and
select the one to be used.
PEC fault type
This option allows you to select how the detector will behave when a Product Registration, Bin
Full, Reject Confirmation or Pack Check PEC has triggered a fault.
If the ‘Latched’ option is selected, the user will need to cancel the fault in the software once
the problem has been resolved.
If the ‘Auto Clear’ option is selected, the fault is automatically cancelled once the problem has
been resolved.
Tap the arrow to the right of the field to display the drop down list of available options and
select the one to be used.
Lamp type
This option allows you to select the lamp type that you are using so that the software can
integrate with it correctly. Options of Tower and Dome are available for selection.
