1 Preface
Thanks for using JW-G series metal detector.
In order to operate and maintenance the machine well, this manual will give a
detailed instruction about its function and operations.

1.1 Basic instruction

1.It is used to detect metal in packages, remove packages which contain metal
material by reject device or stopping running.
2.The packages include bulk product in paper bag, plastic bag and paper box. But
package with metal film cannt suitable this machine.
3. The machine has function of Auto program setup, stable, high speed and high
accuracy.
4. The model No. is JWG,which is explained as follows:
JW G

Package max height10mm

Package max width10mm
Metal detector
Companys short name
For example: JW-G4015 means that the metal detector can detect the max package
of 400mm*150mm(width*height).

1.2 Precautions
1Work environment:
1

Temperature: 0400C

Moisture: 3585%

Power: AC 22010% 50/60HZ

Install place: horizontal surface without shaking

Connect with ground: safety and reliable connect ground line

Interference source: keep it far away or shielded. Stay far away from big

movable metal object and machines who creates a magnetic field

2Use independent power cable, dont use cable with other machine thats
easy to make noise.
3Pls cut the power off when maintain or clean the machine.
4Forbid non-professional person to maintain the machine when there is

electrical problems.
5For connecting signal with other machine, the DC voltage should below 30V,

electric current should below 100mA.

3 Work theory
Metal detector adopts the theory of electromagnetic induction to detect.
Detecting head is made of three loops which is circled on the fixed frame(there is
one launching loop and two receiving loops.). Launching loop forms a fixed
magnetic field, and receiving

loops create electric signal according to

electromagnetic induction, forming a detecting passageway. (As below chart 3.1.1)

Chart 3.1.1
For common situations the system is in balanced condition, as chart 3.1.2.
One launcher
Two receivers with same distance to launcher
Two receiving signals subtract to balance or zero voltage

-6-

JW-G SERIES METAL DETECTOR

Chart 3.1.2

When the package contents with metal material passed through detecting
passageway, it causes magnetic fileds change, broking systems balanced
condition, as chart 3.1.3.

Chart 3.1.3

The electric voltage isnt balanced again when there is metal material in the loops,
so loops electric signal change, then the machine will deal with the signal, and
judge whether there is metal material in the package or not, as chart 3.1.4

Attentions when running:

The min size of metal material that metal detector can detect is decided by the
package(size, shape, weight, type etc.) and metal material(material, shape) and
the metal detectors installment situation.
When the machine is working, operators should keep 30cm away from
detecting head, dont put any metal material near it.
When the package is passing through detecting head, dont make the package
shuffle with passageway to avoid wrong alarm.
Pls put and take the detecting packages lightly, avoid big actions causing wrong
alarm.
If there is conveying belt in the front and back of the machine, pls make sure
there is no contact between belt with machine.
Adjust the height of front and back belt with machine to make sure that package
passed successfully.
Keep the inside and outside of conveying belt clean, avoid the metal material
and oil sticking on conveying belt and causing wrong alarm.
Wet conveying belt is easy to stick with supporting plate, so when start
conveying belt, keep it is divided from supporting plate to avoid motor race or
damage motor.

Timing30 - 60 minutesto test machines detecting sensitity by testing card,

adjust parameter on time, decreasing wrong chance.

In the dry work environment, pls use wet cloth wipe conveying belt inside
regularly to avoid static electricity.

In the work environment of high temperature and high moisture,

radiating will be affected, test sensitity will decrease.

materials product effect in the software, they have 90 degree phase difference.
Some material with small product effect in one signal, wave shape is flat; but big
product effect and change wave shape in another signal, then wrong alarm occurs.
This situation needs to select phase to shield signal with big product effect and use
the signal with small product effect, when there is metal material, wave shape
changes very apparently, decrease wrong alarm chance.

Preparation: Prepare the detecting package for auto set, make sure that

the package doesnt content metal material.(if metal detector without photoelectric
eye, pls set selection phase as No, threshold value as 6,Magnification times
as 250. When metal detector is in stable running, let the detecting package pass
and check the signal wave shapes changing.The signal wave shape will over the
threshold value only when the detecting package is passing through passageway,
otherwise it changes within threshold value. If the signal wave shape isnt as above,
pls adjust Magnification times to meet above requirements. But if metal detector
with photoelectric eye, it doesnt need to set above programs.)
