Flat sensor
M-Pulse / Digital+
Application
Flat sensors are proper for applications where the test material is transported planely on a conveyor belt or a chute.
Products like fabric or foil can also be checked on metal without problems. Unlike other flat sensors the FL´s
working principle is based on a balanced coil system which provides for highest sensitivities. In combination with our
high-capacity operating electronics it is possible to fade out product effects and other interferences. The robust, long-living
stainless steel housing can be mounted easily.
Function
The working principle of the FL allows a precise analysis of the signals. It is prossible to draw conclusions on the signals‘
origin. Signals can be distinguished into vibration, product or metal. This additional data allows a more sensible reaction
on metallic residua. The sensors do not need calibration or maintenance.
Mounting
The sensing range of the sensor partially is situated above and under the opening of the detector. Big metal pieces can
already be detected in this sector. In order to guarantee the accurate functioning of the sensor, these sectors must be
kept free of metal. This so-called metal-free zones are divided into two types: the particular data sheets.
- Metal-free zones for movable pieces
- Metal-free zones for non movable pieces
The dimension of these zones are specified in
Handling
Depending on the operating electronics the handling is realised via a membrane keyboard and a LC-display. Thus all
important parameters can be viewed easily and fast and changed if necessary. The sensitivity of the detector also is adjustable
this way. Detailed information you will find in the documentation of the electronics M-Pulse and Digital+.

The actual sensitivity depends on various factors. Unfavourable environmental conditions or vibrations can
reduce the sensitivity.Conductive test material can also influence the sensitivity. For obliging information please
contact our service or sales department. Our service includes product tests in our headquarters.

Large metallic pieces
can cause faulty activation even from great distances. The data referes to smaller pieces like deviating pulleys etc..
