Model DS150

Dual Probe, Double Metal Sheet Detector

Features:

Push-button calibration, instantaneously sets reject threshold and adjusts signal for type and thickness of metal detected.

•Multi-gauge double detection without calibration changes.

•Thickness Detection range of .05 mm to 8 mm (.002” to .300”) provides flexibility for a broad range of thickness applications and metals.

•Diagnostic warning is provided through various indicator flash patterns for error and probe failure.

•Power Input is user configured to 120 Volts AC or 240 Volts AC @ 50-60 Hz.

•Wide trans./rec. probe separation to 75 mm (3”) when used with P70CS on light gauge steel.

•Quick connect terminals for fast replacement, and to reducing downtime.

•Contact relay output to interface with most input or control circuits, contacts rated at 10 AMPS (½ HP) @ 240 Vac, 8 AMPS @24 VDC.

Metal blanks that are free to bounce or move vertically as much as 75 mm (3 inches) in a conveying system are easily monitored by Prime's Model DS150. It senses many different metals by using separate transmitter and receiver probes that can detect metal within a 3” (75 mm) range. It inspects over a thickness range of 002” to .320, (.05 mm to 8 mm). Calibration is completed by pressing a push-button located on the front cover with a nominal and double sample. It immediately senses several conditions and sets the double reject threshold. If it detects any system failures, while operating, it begins flashing one of its indicators and switches its output to reject. The DS150 is an excellent detector for steel, aluminum, tinplate, thick *stainless steel, copper, brass and many other metals.

* thin stainless, copper and aluminum film may require a Model DS3410
