Learn Feature
The Learn feature incorporated into the metal detector completely automates the configuration of the
detector settings for a product. Two Learn process options are available.
Full Learn
The Full Learn process consists of following
on-screen instructions to pass a number of
product samples through the detector
aperture.
The product samples used during any Learn
process must be representative of the product
to be run and known to be free from metal
contamination.
Normally at least eight product samples will
be required. By using more than one sample
the detector can make adjustments if
necessary for differences that may occur
across the samples used.
A single product sample could be repeatedly
passed through the detector but the resulting
Learn may not be as good and require an
update when the product line is run.
The best results will be obtained by passing the product samples in succession through the detector
in the time period dictated by the on-screen instructions. If possible you should Learn the product on a
running line so that the detector learns a product as it would normally be run.
See the Learning Products section for further details.
