The
Model DS3410 Thin Metal Thickness Detector
is easy to operate. There are relay
outputs for Over, Under, Normal thickness
and Nothing present.
Up
to eight separate thickness values are
stored and recalled later through a
remotely located selector switch
module. It measures nonferrous metals
under .025 mm (.001") thickness.
Calibration
is simple. Place a metal sheet between
the probe assembly and push the Calibration
button. That's all. It calculates the
double thickness and sets the reject
threshold. The detector sets it’s reject
threshold to 50% between the first and
calculated second thickness. As a double
metal detector the Model DS3410 discriminates
single, double, and no-metal conditions.
Two
value Calibration permits higher gauging
precision. This option is selectable
via a DIP switch located under the front
cover. Rather than having the DS3410
calculate the double reject value, the
user teaches the detector the nominal
value and then a reject value. This
permits the user to control the range
of the monitored thickness. Through
this feature the range is narrowed (<
Double) or expanded (> Double).
The
DS3410 features has adjustable reject
thresholds. The adjustment ranges from
1 to 99%. Adjust the reject thresholds
by holding the Calibration button for
three seconds until a sub menu is displayed.
The display prompts either OT (over
thickness) or UT (under thickness).
The value is changed after letting up
on the button when one of these appropriate
fields are displayed. Further pressing
of the button advances the values. Once
at 99 the display will roll-over to
01. The detector returns to the run
display after the button is inactive
for six seconds.
An
Enabled Timer feature is used to
limit the inspected region on a printed
circuit board or other thin metal. For
example, an application with a post-etched
circuit board uses this feature to look
for a specific area or region as each
board travels through the inspection
probes on a conveyor. The timer window
is adjustable for .01 to .99 seconds.
The Timer is Enabled when a contact
closes across a set of input terminals
(labeled ENABLE). The Timer remains
on for the adjusted period. A switch,
proximity or similar device is used
as the Enable trigger. For example,
a ultrasonic or photoelectric sensor
is located to detect the lead edge of
the circuit board when a specific area
is positioned between the thickness
measuring probes.
Nonvolatile
memory stores all settings if power
is lost. Its a great value.
