2.10 End of Life Treatment
In accordance with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment recycling (WEEE) Regulations
2012/19/EU and CE Directive 2002/96/EC, electrical and electronic equipment must be recycled
at the end of its useful life.
The IQ3X Metal Detection System is considered to be a Large-scale Stationary Industrial Tool
(LSIT) as defined in Article 2 of the WEEE Regulations. Consequently it is the responsibility of the
user of the equipment to ensure the safe disposal of the machine at the end of its useful life.
2.11 Emergency Procedures
1. EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN.
This system is fitted with an emergency Stop button. This is mounted on the front panel and is
coloured red. In the event of an emergency, which requires the System to be immediately
stopped, press the Stop button. See Getting Started for further details.
2. DEALING WITH FIRE.
In the unlikely event of fire occurring in an item of equipment manufactured by Loma Systems, it
is important that a fire extinguisher containing the correct type of extinguishing material is used.
Fire on electrical equipment must be extinguished using a dry powder extinguisher (Blue label).
3. AUDIBLE WARNINGS.
A conveyor may be fitted with an alarm which operates when a nonconforming product is
detected. The maximum volume of the alarm is type dependent and lies in the range of 110 dB
(A) to 125 dB (A) at 1 metre.
4. VISUAL INDICATIONS.
The system may optionally be fitted with indicator lamps which operate to show a particular
status or in the event of a fault condition. The Metal Deteection System must not be operated
unless all such indicators are fully operational. There are also more detailed fault listings
displayed on the operator screen.
