GENERAL INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
The Advanced Detection Systems ProScan Max II™ is a general purpose, digital metal detector suitable for the
detection of ferrous and nonferrous metals in all types of food products, chemicals, plastics, or other products
where metal can have an unwanted consequence. In addition to providing excellent product quality control, it
provides protection for machinery by letting you know there is metal in your product before it causes costly
damage.
The metal detector search head is manufactured to suit specific product requirements, thereby ensuring
maximum sensitivity. It is essentially a single oscillator-driven loop with twin receiving coils. All three coils are
mounted in a welded stainless steel enclosure and completely filled with epoxy for protection against water and
vibration.
When correctly balanced, the signals in the two receiving coils cancel (i.e. they are equal in magnitude and
opposite in sign). As metal passes between the oscillator and a receiving coil, the current induced in that coil
changes. This causes an imbalance, which is amplified and detected in the electronic control unit.
The ProScan Max II™ metal detector uses surface mount technology and integrated circuits. Automatic
balance compensation eliminates the need for manual balancing. Internal computer timing controls reject and
alarm devices, and can also be used to stop the conveyor motor upon detection of metal.
The ProScan Max II™ metal detector is a digital detector with a digital interface. All controls and adjustments
are made with a touchscreen that also contains pushbutton shortcut keys. Product settings can be stored for
quick line changeovers. Other features include multi-password protection and detect counter.
