Model DS160

Single Probe - Double Metal Sheet Detector for nonferrous metal

PRIMES

Model DS160 Double Metal Sheet Detector comprises a control module in a sheet metal housing with one probe to form a system that detects the thickness of nonferrous metals in front of the probe. The detector system may be used on automatic sheet feeders where double or overlapping sheet material may jam or damage the receiving machine. A double feed produces an output to stop the machine or signal the operator.

Features:

  • Non-contact detection to 25-mm from metal
  • Fast and easy pushbutton teach calibration
  • Push calibration button once to setup double sheet detection
  • Select 95 to 130 or 200 to 250 volt operation through internal jumpers.
  • Automatic setup of system gain and operating parameters
  • LED indicators report the gage states of NO DOUBLE and DOUBLE
  • Removable terminal blocks for quick change out of the control module.



 

  • Sensitive to thin aluminum foil, 300 series stainless, copper plated circuits, and other metals
  • Push calibration button twice to detect a variation less than a double thickness
  • Form C relay output providing normally open or normally closed contacts.
  • Nonvolatile memory that retains all calibration parameters even when power is removed.
  • Optional latching relay output that is cleared by asserting the CAL/RES input or remote calibration input.
