List of Included Components
Your metal detector comprises the following components.
• Search-Head Case and Coils
Products are passed through the aperture of this case.
Note: If remote mounting has been specified, there is a separate control unit/PSU
(2 m [7 ft] standard cable to 30 m (98 ft) maximum).
• Search-Head PCB
The search-head PCB is the interface to the coils in the search head. It drives the
oscillator coils with a radio-frequency signal to produce an alternating magnetic
field in the aperture.
• Control Panel
The control panel houses the power supply, the I/O PCB, and all processing and
display functions.
Safe Storage Conditions for Your APEX
Your APEX metal detector and associated equipment can be safely stored in ambient
temperatures of -10 to 50° C (14 to 122° F) with a non-condensing humidity of 80%.
APEX Specifications
There are three models of APEX—the APEX 500, APEX 300, and APEX 100. The principal
difference between the three models has to do with aperture size—the size of the
opening through which the product passes to be analyzed for metallic contaminants.
Specifications for the APEX 500, 300, and 100
Listed below are the technical specifications for the APEX 500.
