4. Safety
4 Safety
S+S equipment conforms with all official technical safety regulations. However, as a manufacturer we
believe it is our duty to make you aware of the following information.
The following safety and danger notes are intended for your protection, for the protection of
third parties, and for the protection of the equipment. The safety notes therefore should
always be observed! Please also observe the chapter on safety in the operating instruc-
tions of the control unit!
4.1 Use to the intended purpose
The intended purpose of the metal detector is the inspection of bulk or lump materials con-
veyed on belt conveyors, chutes or vibratory feeders with either the control unit ,
PRIMUS or SENSITY. The metal detector system can be used for plastics, food, feed stuff,
chemical or recycling industry. The metal detector has to be fastened properly and stable.
At the operation field of the device, no steam (e.g. plasticizer) or other substances may
occur that attack cord insulation of PVC.
Basically it is possible to also use the system in
other applications than the intended use stated herein, but such applications always require
the prior consultation and approval of S+S Separation and Sorting Technology GmbH.
4.2 Dangers arising from non-compliance with safety notes
Any non-observance of safety notes constitutes a danger for life and health.
4.3 Safety notes for the operator
The metal detector may only be operated in the intended purpose and in a perfect function-
ing condition. Particularly the covers of the detector connection boxes must be closed dur-
ing operation The operating instructions always have to be in a legible condition and com-
plete available. Ensure that up to date accident prevention procedures are in force prior to
commissioning. The operator may only appoint qualified personnel for operation, mainte-
nance and repair work. The electromagnetic field may cause malfunction of implants or may
affect health. People carrying implants, ie. heart pacemaker, should keep sufficient distance
to the detector head.
4.4 Safety notes during operating, maintenance and cleaning
Before opening the receiver and transmitter connection boxes remove dirt and moisture to
avoid them to get into the inside. Disconnect all power supplies or other connected circuits
Ingressed moisture must be removed.
In case of repairs of pc boards do not touch components or conducting paths with metallic
objects to avoid short circuits. Only qualified personnel should operate, maintain and re-
pair the equipment.
Signalling device option:
Always make sure that the electronics unit is not energised with mains or exter-
nal voltage before exchanging signalling elements!
4.5 Safety information for commissioning
When mounting the detector head there a risk of injury due to the weight of it.
Use suitable lifting gears for transportation.
Remove the lifting gear only after safe mounting.
If during installation the cable to the control unit has to be reconnected first close the
receiver/transmitter boxes before power up the system.
Please observe the information in 5.1 and 5.2.
