HowTo: Metal detector inactive

Set metal detection inactive for PRODUCT 250

This setting is used to deactivate metal detection for a short period.
The deactivation is assigned to a certain product. While this product is active, the metal detector will be inactive.

Preset PRODUCT 250 for inactivation

Go to PRODUCT MENU

Select PRODUCT NR. with OK
Choose PRODUCT NR. 250 with ⯅⯆
Confirm with OK

Select PRODUCT NAME with OK
Enter INACTIVE with ⯅⯆
Confirm with OK

Settings for inactivation

Set PRODUCT MENU > ADVANCED > METAL SENSE mV > 3000
A warning message will pop up.

Confirm with OK.

Check settings

Go to mainscreen.
If a yellow notification bar indicates “max. METAL SENSE mV – no metal detection” the settings are correct.

NOTE

There are two different inactive states:

a/ semi inactive – all receiver signales are set to 0 mV in the software

The semi inactive is on with input = ‘inactive’, or with METAL SENSE mV = 3000

b/ true inactive – the transmitter coil is turned off, without current

The true inactive is on when METAL SENSE mV = 3000 and a change from any other product number occurs to the product where METAL SENSE mV = 3000.

How to switch to ‘inactive’ by a 24V input signal:

Do the settings as this:

Step 1/ IN/OUT MENU > INPUT x = product 120
x stands for any of the inputs 1 to 8.

Step 2/ Return to mainscreen

Step 3/ Change to product = 120

Step 4/ At product 120 open MENU > PRODUCT MENU > ADVANCED > METAL SENSE mV = 3000

Step 5/ Change to any other product number, but not 120

How it works:

Now when you apply 24V at input X, the product changes to 120.

The voltage for the transmitter coil is turned off (this only works by change the product number from any other number to 120)

With transmitter voltage off, the ERROR 3 SIGNAL CLIPPING does not happen.

When you set input X to 0V, the product changes back to same number as it was before and transmitter goes on.

How to minimize the time for changing between the product numbers:
Set on product 120 the same or similar
— AMPLIFICATION X%
— AMPLIFICATION Y%
— ATTENUATION
as on the other products.
