INSTALLATION
72 ORIGINAL
INSTRUCTION
In case the Detection Probe is subjected to vibrations, install the
Metal Detector securing it with a system for damping vibrations,
as indicated here beside.
S: Detection Probe; P: Support frame; d: Plastic spacer
G: Rubber spacer to dampen vibrations
In applications where the Probe need to be installed on a horizontal pipe, set the Probe by placing
it, with proper plastic or rubber spacers, on the smaller side with fixing holes (if screws are present,
remove and install them on the unused fixing holes) and fix it as per the free-falling assembly.
3.3.2 Power supply unit
The power supply unit must be placed vertically (with the cable glands side towards the floor) and
firmly attached to the load-bearing structure by means of four M6 screws, at a minimum distance
from the Probe, not lower than
2 x DH
.
For the fixing distances see the
Dimensions
section for the relevant model, in chapter
2 –
Description
of this manual.
During the installation procedure, if the connection cable between the Probe and the power supply
box needs to be disconnected, do it from the power supply box side and not from the Probe side.
This operation requires the terminals to be disconnected from the connector connected to the ALM
card and the screen to be disconnected from the earth screw on the bottom of the container.
After the Detection Probe and the Power
Supply Unit have been positioned correctly,
put the cable back in the Power Supply Unit
through its cable gland, reconnect the screen
to the earth screw, reconnect the cable
terminals to the connector, following the exact
order of the colours (see figure alongside)
and put the connector back on the ALM card.
Fix the Probe cable to the power supply unit so that it cannot oscillate or vibrate.
If the cable is too long,
DO NOT CUT THE CABLE: COIL UP THE EXCESS
inside the power supply box.
