Using the Metal Detector

Getting the Results

Before using the metal detector with a new product it is important to learn the product, to allow the

metal detector to adjust itself to the highest possible sensitivity.

The metal detector will either learn on the signal from the product, or if there is insufficient signal, will

use reference learn settings. This reference signal is chosen to maximise the sensitivity of the metal

detector, so it is always preferable. However, where a product generates a signal in the detector,

referred to as product effect, then the detector must learn this signal instead (otherwise good product

will falsely be rejected).

When there is no signal from the product this is because they are non-conductive in nature, usually

because they are dry (low water content) such as tea and coffee. Frozen products are also dry in

nature because water cannot conduct when it is frozen. During a product learn, the detector will

automatically sense if it is possible to run dry (use the reference learn setting), but this can also be

forced by selecting DRY YES in the product menu.

Frequency Selection

The IQ

+ Metal Detector can run at a choice of seventy different operating frequencies so that the

optimum frequency can be chosen for any given product. Generally, dry products run at high

frequencies, but more conductive and non-uniform products run at low frequencies.

The frequencies are split into 10 bands as shown in the table below. This resolves any issues with

cross-talk between two metal detectors working in close proximity. By setting one detector to use the

available frequencies in a different band to the other detector they will never be operating on the

same frequency.

Band 3

Band 7

Band 8

46 85 146 242 365 517 789

Band 9

Band 10

52 89 156 254 384 555 882

Because only the most experienced user will be able to correctly choose the optimum frequency, the

product Learn process on the metal detector will automatically select the most suitable frequency. To

allow the metal detector to select the best frequency, simply go to Menu>Learn>Set Up and select

the Auto-Frequency option.

Where several detectors are sited close together, it is essential that they do not run at the same

frequency. This is achieved by allocating them separate frequency bands, which will have been set as

part of the commissioning process.
