Operating Instructions
Configuring the Metal Detector
Wherever possible, configuration of the metal detector will be carried out by Loma Systems before the
machine is dispatched, or by a Loma Service Engineer during a commissioning visit. Primarily, the
commissioning visit is required as part of the installation process so that the engineer can optimise
machine performance in its actual working environment and for the products that are to be inspected.
There are circumstances, however, where it may be necessary for the end user to carry out some or
all of the configuration and commissioning procedures. Typically, this would occur when Loma
Systems do not have enough information about the end application, such as the belt speed or reject
details, to fully configure the machine.
Options and parameters available for configuring the metal detector are listed and described below.
