Series MD500 metal detector - Series MD500

Detector coil

Basic control unit

Introduction:

MD500 metal detector can be used in any branch of industry where tramp metal has be detected and removed from raw materials or ready products. The MD500 technique is based on over 45 years experience of metal detectors.

The MD500 metal detector detects all metals, whether magnetic or not. This includes nails, bolts, screws, chips of metal, bottle caps etc. A metal detector is indispensable if you have expensive machinery or products to be protected from damage and costly breakdowns. The MD500 is fully automatic and easy to use.

The standard components of a complete MD500 include a basic control unit and a detector coil, which can be plate, rectangular, hexaconal or ring in shape.

In the basic control unit there is green standard led and red detection led. When a metal object is detected, a control relay in the basic control unit also operates. The relay can be connected to control an alarm bell or a hooter, a conveyor motor circuit, a rejecter, a marking device etc. After detecting a metal object, the detector becomes operative again either automatically or by a reset button. Its sensitivity can be adjusted so that it only detects metal objects above a given size.

In manufacturing of the MD500 has been used components of a high quality only. This ensures reliability and efficiency under the most extreme environmental conditions. Special attention has been paid to resist extreme temperatures. The detector can be used outdoors during most severe weather. Its reliability is increased by watertight aluminum casing, into which the cables pass through sealed parts. The MD500 has been thump and vibration tested according to international standards.

Applications:

MD500 metal detector is widely used in wood processing industry, stone crushing plants, sawmills, power stations, textile industry, tobacco industry, chemical industry, plastic industry, etc.

Maintenance:

The entire device is extremely easy to service because all the components are readily accessible. To facilitate maintenance, the electronic circuits are divided between several plug-in units connected to the mounting chassis by high quality connectors. The plug-in units include monitoring circuits connected to a meter on front panel. The monitoring point required can be selected by means of a rotary switch. Any defective plug-in unit revealed can be replaced.

Max. connecting distance (basic control unit to detector coil) : 150m
