
Checking Guards
The system should have its own dedicated electrical supply, unless the line supply is known
to be clean. The earth should be robust, of low impedance and noise free. This section
provides some guidance on connecting an electrical supply.

Checking Belt Tracking
The system should have its own dedicated electrical supply, unless the line supply is known
to be clean. The earth should be robust, of low impedance and noise free. This section
provides some guidance on connecting an electrical supply.

Setting Up Reject Mechanisms
The conveyor system is supplied with the reject mechanism correctly set up. Normally no
further adjustment should be required.

Remote User Interface
The electronic controls for the metal detector are integrated into the search head along with
the user interface, but the user interface can be mounted remotely in it‘s own housing where
access would otherwise be difficult.

Installing a Serial Link
In order to use any of the serial link options your detector will require a cable and connector
assembly which facilitates external connection to the on board serial link electronics.
Following completion of the installation, commissioning of the machine should be carried out
by a Loma engineer. An important part of this process is to run an Auto Configuration
process through the
VF Balance screen to ensure that the search head is optimised for the
local operating conditions.
