TEST MENU

Note: The PVS settings are set individually for each PRODUCT NO.
Note: After doing a setting you are prompted to select if the setting is valid for:
the current PRODUCT NO only (press OK),
or if you want to copy this setting to all PRODUCT NO (press OK +/- ) .

AUTO PVS TEST	Sets up an automatic reminder to check the performance of the metal detector. Default: no
SIGNAL UNIT	Signal = metalsignal and productsignal Switches the signal unit shown on display between % (related to thereshold) and mV (absolute). Signal strenght in % shows how close the signal comes to a metal alarm. green = good product in sevure range (0-80%) yellow = still good product, but almost identified as metal (80-100%) red = metal alarm (> 100%) The unit % is a simple representation to show contaminated products to the user. The unit mV shows the absolute signal amplitude in mV. This unit provides specific inforamtion about the voltage produced from the metal or product. This unit is used to calibrate the metal detector and to compare signal values.
PVS FE mm PVS NonFE mm PVS SS mm	Set the metal test piece size that the PVS shall prompt for.     Note: If you do not want to test a certain metal set zero. Default: depends on application Range: 0 – 99.9 [Millimetres]
PVS FE max % PVS NonFE max % PVS SS max %	Set the percentage that is not to be exceeded during the test. If it is exceeded an alarm is caused.     Note: If you do not want to limit a certain % then set zero. Default: depends on application Range: 0 – 9999
PVS FREQ hrs	Sets intervals for testing if AUTO PVS TEST is set to yes. Default: 24 Range: 1 – 500
PVS WINDOW min	Time frame for testing after PVS appeared. After this time has elapsed and no detection has taken place, the error 5 PVS Test Failed is displayed. Default: 30 Range: 1 – 180
PVS ERROR COUNT	Sets how often you can skip or fail the PVS test before the error 5 PVS Test Failed is displayed. Default: 3 Range: 1 – 999
PVS COUNT METAL	If set to no the metal counter does not increase when detecting a test piece during PVS. Default: no
PVS USE PRODUCT	If set to no the user is promted to pass the test piece without a product sample. Default: no
INITIALS TESTER	Initials of testing person will be saved in the test report, to show who executed the test. Range: A-Z / 0-9 The initials are shown in the event reports.
CARD READER	Set to yes if a cardreader is connected. The tester has to introduce his/her card and the initials are saved automatically in the test report if set to yes. Default: no
PVS AFTER BOOT	Set to yes if a PVS (Performance Validation System) test has to be executed after reboot. Default: no
PVS ORDER	Allows to choose between 6 possible orders to perform the PVS test in (FE>SS>NFE, FE>NFE>SS,…)
