2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 CONTROL UNIT MOUNTING

The Metalarm 3000 control unit is supplied with mounting brackets for wall mounting. Dimensions are shown in the
dimension diagram above.
Ideally the control unit should be mounted within 3-5 metres of the sensor coil unit and no more than 20 metres.
The Metalarm 3000 control unit will normally be mounted by means of four M8 or 5/16 inch bolts utilizing the four
mounting holes.
Adequate clearance must be allowed below the control unit enclosure to allow for cable entry and exit.
On no account must the HDPE mounting bars be replaced, as these are provided, to electrically isolate the control unit
from the metal conveyor framework. Similarly no metal work should be in contact with the metal control unit case after
mounting on the conveyor.
Failure to comply with the above mounting procedures will invalidate the 'CE' certificate covering the EMC regulations.

3.0 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The standard electrical connections are for power supply connections and for sensor coil connections. Other cables may
be added as necessary for control and monitoring functions.
Please note where armoured cables are being used, the armour must be cut back at the gland plate of the control unit
such that it does not touch the Metal Detector Control Unit, as this will compromise the electrical isolation of the Control
Unit.
This also applies to electrical trunking.

3.2 SENSOR COIL CONNECTIONS

The sensor coil connection is made at the right hand 4 way terminal block (TB4). When only one coil is used connect to
terminals 3 & 4.

The inner conductor or core is connected to terminal TB4.3 'C' and the outer braiding screen to terminal TB4.4 ‘ ‘.

For applications where two coil windings are being used and there are two coil cables, e.g. separate transmitter and
receiver coils, the top receiver coil (RX), is connected to TB4.1 (C) and TB4.2 ( ) and the bottom transmitter coil (TX), is
connected to TB4. 3 (C) and TB4.4 ( ).

Note: Switch 4 should be moved to position 2.

3.3 CONTROL RELAY CONTACTS

Connection to the output contacts of the control relay are made to terminal block (TB2) as indicated in Figure 6. Four
sets of DPDT relay contacts are provided.

The contacts are rated for 5 amps resistive, for either low voltage DC application or for a maximum of 250V ac
application.

3.4 FUSE

Please note there is only one fuse on this Control Unit, located in the DIN rail mounted fuse holder and rated at 1A A/S.

4.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Switch on the power and the power LED on the case door will illuminate.

The red 'FAULT' light will be on if the sensor coil is not connected. When the sensor is properly connected the light will
extinguish.
Note: The illuminated fault LED will also cause the 'Detect' LED to be on.

If the central green LED is not lit, remove the front panel and rotate the SET ZERO control fully clockwise. If the right
hand LED illuminates, rotate the Set Zero control anti-clockwise until this LED extinguishes and the green LED
illuminates.

FAULT DETECT SIGNAL LEVEL INDICATOR

GREEN LED

SET ZERO
INDICATOR

This adjustment compensates or ‘zeroes’ out any near by metal in the sensor coil detect area. If the green LED cannot be
illuminated there may be too much metal near the sensor coil. This can be confirmed by positioning the sensor coil away
from all surrounding metal and repeating the test.

After these adjustments, the detector may have operated illuminating the 'Detect' LED on the PCB and the 'Reset'
indicator on the detector door. Pressing the 'Reset' button will extinguish both.

The 'Sensitivity' control is a gain adjustment control to adjust for the detection of the desired size of material or to allow
for smaller pieces of material to be ignored.

4.1 INDICATOR LEDS

SET ZERO
When the Metalarm is operating and correctly set, the green LED of these three LEDs is the only one illuminated.
If a piece of metal passing across the sensor coil is large enough it will cause the green LED to go out and the right hand
red LED to come on while the metal is within the detect range of the coil.

DETECT
This red LED illuminates whenever metal is within the detect range of the Metalarm.

COIL FAULT
This red LED illuminates if the sensor is either open circuit, not connected or short circuited.
This LED also causes the Detect LED to illuminate to prevent operation of the Metalarm until the coil fault is rectified.

Normally, the Metalarm control unit should not require any major re-adjustments after performing the adjustments
during installation. After switching the control unit on, the green 'Set Zero' LED should illuminate immediately without
the need to turn the 'Set Zero' control. Proper operation may be verified by depressing the 'Test' button, which is
mounted on the electronic circuit board beneath the front panel.
Certain extremely large objects may produce an overload signal causing the unit to indicate continuously even after the
object has passed clear of the sensor coil. Depress the 'Reset' button to cancel the indication.
NOTE:
Although the control unit will adequately zero out stationary masses of background metal, it will respond to moving
metal near the sensor coil. When mounting the sensor coil, consideration should not be limited to only large objects
such as fork lift trucks, but should be extended to smaller objects such as maintenance workers carrying metal tools and
equipment in the vicinity.
Although the metal detector system is suppressed against both airborne and power supply interference, some false
alarms may nevertheless occur occasionally. Such triggering is usually due to transient effects which are both infrequent
and unpredictable.
Metallic framework encircling the search coil can act as a "shorted turn". It may be necessary to insert insulating sections
to prevent comparatively small masses of metal generating inordinately large background signals.

Page 10
 MA3000CE OPERATION MANUAL

4.2 SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

The 'Sensitivity' controls permits gain adjustments for detecting or rejecting the desired size of objects. Rotate the
'Sensitivity’ control clockwise to increase the Metalarm sensitivity or counter-clockwise to decrease the sensitivity.
A coarse sensitivity adjustment (VR1) may be performed by means of the sensitivity adjustment control on the control
unit printed circuit board. Extreme care must be used in performing the coarse sensitivity adjustment. Consult the
factory prior to making any coarse sensitivity adjustments.
The sensitivity of the control unit may be reduced by rotating the coarse sensitivity adjustment control in the clockwise
direction. Rotate this control one turn at a time, checking each time to determine whether the gain has been reduced
sufficiently.
After each coarse sensitivity adjustment, it may be necessary to rezero the internal lights using the 'Set Zero' control and
depress the reset button on the enclosure door.

4.3 SIGNAL LEVEL INDICATOR

This consists of a row of ten LEDs which light in sequence from left to right, as the detected signal level increases when
metal approaches the sensor. The Metalarm will produce an alarm when the signal level reaches the right hand LED
which is permanently illuminated. Normally none or perhaps the first 1 or 2 lamps may be flickering ON and OFF.
However, if the Metalarm is suffering from 'false alarms' which are of a fairly regular nature, then this indicator should be
examined, since it may show more than the first one or two indicators flickering ON and OFF indicating the presence of
some interference which is either mains or air-borne.
The effects of this may be reduced by rotating VR10 clockwise. The signal level should now move to the left until only 1
or 2 indicators are on. Care should be taken to not rotate this control further than necessary, since it reduces the
sensitivity of the unit

4.4 ELECTRONIC BOARD - MOUNTED SWITCHES

SW4 This separates the TX and RX coil connections when switched 'on' and is used when separate search coils are used
for transmitting and receiving, such as to create an even search field or where magnetic ores are being processed.

SW5 Test button.

5.0 ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BOARD REPLACEMENT

Normally, access to the electronics is not required but if the circuit board requires replacement, the following procedures
must be used.

Turn off the power supply to the control unit and disconnect all terminal blocks connected to the base of circuit board.

Undo the three panel fixing clips by turning a 1/4 turn anti-clockwise.

Undo the five screws holding the two mounting brackets and remove.

Undo the six pillars and two mounting screws. Remove the circuit board and inspect the enclosure. Remove any foreign
material such as loose pieces of metal filings or wire cutting etc.

Install the new circuit board in the reverse procedure of above. Refer to section 4 for testing and operation.

6.0 WIRING TO THE CONVEYOR CONTROL CIRCUIT

To stop the conveyor drive motor when metal is detected, connect the Metalarm normally-closed relay contacts
(terminals C and N/C on (TB2)) in series with the conveyor motor control circuit as shown below.

When the Metalarm is wired as shown the conveyor will not restart until after the metal is cleared, the Metalarm control
unit is reset AND the conveyor motor start which is depressed.

7.0 AUXILIARY RELAY

An auxiliary relay is necessary between the Metalarm Control Unit and the motor starter when the motor wiring system is
a fully three-phase delta with no star-point and uses a motor starter with a 415V coil.

The 415 volt motor starter coil exceeds the maximum voltage rating of the Metalarm output contacts, which are rated at
250V ac maximum. An auxiliary relay or small contactor is required for the 415V ac contacts.
An auxiliary relay is necessary when the plant switchgear is generating electrical interference or brushes are arcing, or
when other electrical noise is being created.

This interference will propagate through the air and may also travel along the conductors in close proximity to the noise
sources. When this occurs, interference will be fed into the Metalarm Control Unit along the interconnecting wires, and
will cause false triggering.

An auxiliary relay in a separate enclosure, external to the Metalarm and separate from the main switchgear cabinet, will
normally isolate the offending interference.

8.0 EARTHING OF ASSOCIATED PLANT WHEN FREQUENCY INVERTER SPEED

CONTROLS ARE BEING USED.
Please note that when frequency inverter speed controls are being used in the vicinity of the metal detector all earth
connections must be run independently back to a single star point as shown below:-

In addition, if filters are being used they should be mounted and connected as shown below:-

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CONNECTING

RFI FILTERS TO HIGH FREQUENCY INVERTER DRIVES

Because of the complex circuit design used in these filters an Earth Leakage Current of 8 to 80mA may be observed. It is
possible that nuisance tripping of extremely sensitive type of ELCBs may occur so this figure should be considered when
choosing such a device.
It is important to provide well defined paths for the high frequency currents involved so, by far the best results are
achieved when both filter and inverter are mounted securely on the same conducting, earthed backplate and not on rails
etc.

Supply Cable

The supply cable should be a stranded conductor and not a solid conductor type to achieve proper connection inside the
terminal block, also cable lengths inside the wiring cabinet should be kept to a minimum i.e. cable entry to filter and filter
to inverter. This will reduce the effect of radiated emissions back into the input cables.

Motor Cable

Since the cable between the inverter and motor is a major source of radiated and conducted interference, it should be a
screened type and as short as possible with the screen and safety earth core connected directly to the bonded earth
post at one end and to the motor earth at the other. Never connect only one end of the screen to earth as this can be
detrimental. (Pig tail effect). It is strongly recommended that the conducting cores (not the earth or screen) are threaded
through, or, if possible, wound around an output cable filter choke as shown.

Page 14
 MA3000CE OPERATION MANUAL

Earthing

The point here is to clearly define the paths through which high frequency earth currents flow, and thereby minimise
their harmful effect on other nearby, sensitive devices. All earthing leads, including filter earth, inverter earth and
screened cable earths, should be as short as possible and securely fastened to the bonded backboard earth post - poor
connections and loops of cable will act as aerials and pick up stray radiated emissions.

Separation

Keep the separation of the input and output cables as great as possible to prevent feedback. Input and motor output
cables should never be run together in the same trunking or conduit.

Control Cables

The control cables to the inverter or any other equipment in the vicinity are obviously highly susceptible to radiated
emissions in the same way and should also never be run along side motor output cables.

Multiple Inverters

Where more than one inverter is used, for effective suppression, it is preferable that a separate filter should be used for
each inverter.

Page 15
 MA3000CE OPERATION MANUAL

9.0 SUGGESTIONS FOR TROUBLE SHOOTING ENVIRONMENTAL INTERFERENCE

The Metalarm Control Unit generates a high frequency alternating field within and near the sensor coil. While the field is
strongest on the sensor coil face or in the throat of the sensor coil, it is inherent in the sensor coil design that a certain
amount of the field exists outside of the sensor coil. Certain environmental conditions may sometimes effect this
alternating field causing false and erratic signals.

If after installation the unit does not work properly, check for compliance with the following hook-up and installation
details before proceeding to the specific causes of interference.

All cable connections should be tight on the terminal blocks in the control unit. Any sensor coil lead splice should be
soldered and taped.

The power source cables should be isolated from varying inductive loads and should be run in a separate conduit.

The control unit should have a good electrical ground connection.

In certain locations more than one problem may exist and the problems may be interrelated.

Observing the installation site and the operation of the metal detector for repeating symptoms is very helpful in
isolating the causes of the problems.

Correlating malfunctioning occurrences is invaluable for environmental interference trouble shooting. Observe whether
interference occurs at certain specific times and in conjunction with specific activity.

Observe whether interference occurs when operated by certain personnel or only after physical change of the
environment.

Use the following to help diagnose problems and problem sources and to implement corrective measures.
Basically environmental interference may be of four types:

Movement of Metal:

Metal objects moving into or out of the electromagnetic field of the sensor coil.

Intermittent Loops of Metal surrounding the Sensor Coil:

Built in structural metal loops that reflect the electromagnetic field of the sensor coil may be present in the search area.

Excessive Line Voltage Fluctuations

Proximity to Severe RF Radiation Sources

Detailed specific discussions of each of the above interference sources follows:

Page 16
 MA3000CE OPERATION MANUAL

9.1 MOVEMENT OF METAL

Large masses of metal such as shaker screens, metal deflection plates, vehicles etc. may affect metal detector operation
even when at a considerable distance from the sensor coil.

Other smaller masses of moving metal when sufficiently close to the search unit may also cause false trips.

Interference may exist outside of the room or building and be hidden from operators view, such as vehicular traffic in an
alley next to the building wall or a chain conveyor below or above the floor, or moving metal objects in an adjacent
room.

Corrective Measures

Secure moving metal objects or remove them altogether if possible, or replace with a non metallic material. Re-
route vehicular traffic.
Place a metal shield securely fastened and stationary between the sensor and the source of interference. Place a
shield as close to moving object as possible. The size of the shield will depend on the size of the moving object.
Install the metal detector in another location free from interference sources.

9.2 INTERMITTENT LOOPS OF METAL SURROUNDING THE SENSOR (SHORTED TURNS)

A source of interference which is difficult to recognise is that of the shorted turn. A shorted turn is formed by metal
pieces forming a complete path in some plane around or near the sensor.

If this is intermittent, as in the case of two pieces of conduit occasionally touching together, the detector will trip each
time the conduits make or break connections. The intermittence may be caused by physical deflection or vibration of
equipment, and by expansion or contraction of metal due to temperature changes.

The affect of the 'shorted turn' is that of a secondary 'coil' or 'turn' coupled to the metal detector sensor coil. The varying
load of this secondary 'coil' when it makes or breaks is reflected to the sensor coil tripping the control unit.

The following metal objects may be part of or form a 'shorted turn' by themselves: metal framework, pipes, conduit,
flexible conduit, guard railing, metal catwalks, conveyor rolls, etc.

To determine the existence of a 'shorted turn' : switch the metal detector off and disconnect the sensor lead at the
terminal block. This will disconnect the sensor from the control instrument and there will be no metal detection.

Now, turn the control instrument on again and set gain control to maximum. Run operation under normal conditions
and observe the signal level indicator. If the indicator is stable at this time, it is most likely that a 'shorted turn' is being
picked up by the sensor. However, the problem may also be a break on the sensor cable.

Check for breaks at this time and replace the cable if necessary.
If the cable is in good condition search for a 'shorted turn' as described in the following paragraph. If the level indicator is
not stable at this time, the problem is likely to be due to excessive line voltage fluctuation.

To isolate and correct the 'shorted turn' problem, reconnect the sensor coil and turn off all surrounding equipment in
order to eliminate any vibration.
The level indicator should settle down at this time or at least reduce the number of false trips.

Proceed by tapping on all metal objects, starting near the sensor coil and working out from there, in order to find where
the break point is located. It is suggested that one person watch the level indicator on the control unit in order to

Page 17
 MA3000CE OPERATION MANUAL

observe any movement while another person is tapping on metal objects around and near the sensor coil.

In some cases, this may be several feet from the sensor coil. Sudden level indication movement when a metal object is
tapped will indicated the intermittent connection. It may be possible to fix the problem by insulating or permanently
securing this metal to metal connection. For example, in the case of broken weld, re-weld or in the case of a loose pipe or
conduit, re-secure the holders.

9.3 EXCESSIVE LINE VOLTAGE FLUCTUATIONS

Electrical interference may be in the form of line voltage 'spikes' caused on-off va10rying inductive loads of electrical
equipment on the same power line as the metal detector, or other power lines in close proximity to the supply line for the
metal detector.

Corrective Measures

Use another power line, (without the varying inductive loads) for the metal detector.
Disconnect electrical equipment causing the large inductive loads.
Connect interfering electrical equipment to another power source.
Re-route the power line to the metal detector.
Install a constant voltage transformer (120 va. minimum) between metal detector and power source.

9.4 PROXIMITY OF SEVERE RF RADIATION SOURCES

Electrical or electronic interference can be radiated into the sensor coil or introduced into the metal detector from other
energy emitting devices such as arcing motors, arc welders, and arcing relay points.

Corrective Measures

Remove or replace equipment causing interference.

Operate welding equipment only at times when metal detector is not required to operate.
