Performance features

The ME 9000 metal detector system is used to detect ferrometallic objects and designed for the attachment of belt conveyor equipment. The system has an "intrinsically safe" design and is thus suited for underground use.

The purpose is to find any metallic objects (tools, construction materials, etc.) lying on the conveyor that can lead to damage to the belt (e.g. tearing). When metal is detected, the device emits a signal that can be used to deactivate the conveyor or send and alarm.

The sensitivity is variable and can be set in the evaluation electronics using a potentiometer.

The metal detector system consists of the following components:

Evaluation electronics (ME 9001.1A)

Antenna with antenna adapter (ME 9003)

Mount for antenna adapter

Mount for antenna

Connecting line from ME 9000.1A to ME 9003

Power pack

The antenna is a preassembled, four-wire line section with a maximum of 8.1 metres in length mounted around the belt conveyor as a loop and completely surrounding it. Both ends of the antenna line are connected in the antenna adapter. A preassembled line also leads from the antenna adapter to the evaluation electronics.

The alarm indication of the metal detector is available as a floating optical coupler output at the terminals in the antenna adapter housing and can be conducted to any control unit.

The wide-range voltage power supply SVI 12, proven for mining, is used as the power supply. The power supply is available in "d" or "e" type of protection. The line between the power supply and the evaluation electronics may be up to 100 metres long, depending on the approval.
