■
Configuring the Metal Detector

detection system.
■
Adding a New Product

Setting Up the Metal Detector
Setting Up the Metal Detector
This section provides guidance covering how to set up some basic features of the metal detector.
■
Setting the Time and Date
This section describes how to set the time and date to be used by the detector. It is important
that this is synchronised with other production equipment to assist with any investigations.
■
Setting the Language
This section describes how to set the language to be used by the detector. A wide range of
languages are available for selection and the process is very simple.
■
Setting the Machine ID
This section describes how to set a unique name / number identifier for the metal detector.
This is useful for data analysis purposes when you are using more than one detector as the
machine ID is provided at the top of all Logs and Reports.
■
Setting User Access Level and Password
Use accounts are created at one of four access levels from 1 to 4. Level 1 provides basic
operator access whilst level 4 provides access to all of the detector’s features and
functionality.
Setting the Time and Date
It is important that the correct time and date are set on the machine as they are used to time stamp
the data in the contaminant, fault and error logs and are shown on the reports. In addition they
determine the interval and synchronisation of automatically initiated PV tests.
The following procedures assume that the machine is switched on and working normally and
that you are logged into the machine with sufficient access rights to access the Menus > Set
Up > Calendar menu.
