2.1.1.2 Remote Communication
For the Remote Communication, two access type are provided:
- Only the password (predefined password is 000006). This access type is selected by default.
- User and Password exactly as a local access (see table above).
To select which access type to use, see parameters RM and AURM.
Only the Administrator operator can manage all the users.
It is Administrator responsibility to redefine all predefined access data in order to avoid unauthorized access to
programming.
2.2 Administrator functions
The Administrator has total control over the configuration of the Metal Detector and can define the
roles of the staff that will be working with it. The Administrator's prerogatives, therefore, are the
following:
- Modifying or deleting existing operators and/or setting new passwords.
- Defining new operators and their password s.
- Authorization for operators to access operational parameters, grouped into menus.
- Total access to all operating parameters.

2.3 Configuration of the system by the Administrator
2.3.1 Programming
The Administrator can program the detector independently to define its operational configuration, or
can delegate one or more functions to the operators.
2.3.2 Users
The Administrator defines the users that work with the detector according to their respective
responsibilities. The Administrator therefore gives the user:
- an user name and a password for access to Programming
- the indication of the operational parameters that the user can modify or display.
The Administrator can define up to 40 users (including the Administrator).
It is imperative that the Administrator responsible for the device redefines the users and passwords pre-set in the factory
in order to block access to Programming on the part of unauthorized personnel.
It is not possible to modify the username ADMINI.
THS/21 is the first system on the market that allows complete personalization of product names and of the users that work
with them (name and surname, user name, password, …).

2.8 Programming the Metal Detector according to the kind of product
The operating mode of the Metal Detector is to be determined according to the kind of product to
be inspected, in order to obtain:
- the minimization of the ”product effect” (see below);
- the determination of the detectable metallic Test Samples (see below);
- a correct ejection mode configuration according to the product (see also Installation Manual);
The factory settings (product DEFAULT) are suitable for dry products.
It is always advisable to optimise installation in line with the criteria described in the installation Manual in order to obtain
maximum sensitivity and maximum rejection of environmental interference.
2.8.1 Procedure for minimizing the "product effect"
The goal of this procedure is to obtain the following operating mode:
a) the detector does not set off an alarm when some of the pure product, without any metallic
contamination, passes through the probe.
b) the detector sets off an alarm when some of the product containing a metallic sample passes
through the probe
2.8.2 Procedure for automatic product acquisition
This procedure comprises the automatic acquisition of non-contaminated product cha racteristics in
order to identify the contribution to the received signal due to the metal mass to be detected. The
characteristics are acquired progressively by making the product pass through the Metal Detector
several times.
2
The procedure must be completed once started. Do not change any parameter setting during the procedure.

Pass some pure product through the detector: the device should not set off any alarm. If the detector gives an alarm
whenever some of the pure product passes through the probe, repeat the procedure, increasing the number of transits (see
8
point 3.). At the end of this second procedure, the pure product is still giving alarm, decrease the “Sensitivity” parameter
until the detector does not give an alarm (this is probably due to non-uniformity of the product).
Pass some of the product with the metallic sample: the detector should give an alarm. If any alarm is given,
increase the size of the metallic sample gradually, until locating its minimum dimension that will be detected with at least 5 dB,
in order to ensure the detection of the sample in every transit position.
In the case that the size of the metallic samples has been modified, communicate them
9
immediately to the Head of Quality Control or to the Administrator, so as to let them to change
their values in the relative menu.
If the signal given by the sample is higher than 12 dB, the Metal Detector Tests can fail. See SAC parameter.
It is responsibility of the customer to determine the diameter values of the test samples to be used in the Quality Control
Procedure. It is responsibility of the Quality Control Head to set this values on the MD Test Samples menu.

At the end of each transit, the Metal Detector will ask to wait
for a few seconds, in order to process the signal. In this
phase, the alarm led is blinking.
At the end of the Autolearn procedure, the Metal Detector
exits from the autolearn phase and the standard message
appears on the display.
At the end of the procedure, on the Metal Detector Status

This indication is purely indicative and it is responsibility of
the customer to verify their effective detection.
The minimum detected diameters can be different from the indication on Status screen.

shown. The list changes according to the permission levels of the
user logged. The list beside is the example of the programming tree
for the Administrator level.
Each parameter or command is described in detail, together with
corresponding Remote Programming code (if available); moreover,
the type (global or related to the current Product) and the Models that
include it in the Programming, are reported.
Some parameters require the use of Input Devices and/or Relays. Therefore, the settings of these parameters have
effect only on Metal Detectors that have Input lines and Relays involved (See Installation Manual).
The parameter standard settings can change according to the Metal Detector System. For each Metal Detector unit, they
are reported on the Factory Acceptance Test Sheet attached to the Installation and Maintenance Manual.

SA
Description Models
Margin of sensitivity
The application of this parameter has effect only if ASE=ON and after the Autolearn.
After the Autolearn, the Sensitivity value is automatically set in order to guarantee a margin (defined
by SA parameter) for the corresponding Alarm threshold level, in order to avoid that signal
variations, due to non-uniformity in product characteristics, could cause false Alarms.
The higher are signal variations, the greater should be SA value, the lower will be the Sensitivity
value. Set SA higher than 25 just in case of product with very strong signal variation (for example:
bulk and wet product). The value of 25 corresponds to a ratio of about 2.5 between the alarm
threshold and the product signal.

VI
Description Models
Vibration immunity
This parameter has effect only after the Autolearn execution.
Setting VI between 1 and 250, the Autolearn procedure optimizes the Product settings both for the
best detection sensitivity and against possible mechanical vibrations. Increasing this value will result
in a higher vibrations immunity of the Metal Detector, but the detection sensitivity could result lower
respect with VI=0.
If VI is set to 0, during the Autolearn procedure the Metal Detector will optimize only the detection
sensitivity. Set VI≠0 only if strictly necessary.

SE
Description Models
Alarm trigger threshold level
The higher is SE value, the lower is the Alarm trigger threshold level for the signal received from the
Metal Detector, to be set depending on the product signal.
The SE value concurs, with the other Product settings (set by Autolearn), to the detection
performance. For dry and non magnetic product, the higher is the SE value, the lower is the metal
mass that can be detected.
If ASE=ON, after the product Autolearn, the Metal Detector set automatically the highest possible SE
value for the current product, according to SA and MASE parameters.
If set manually, choose the right value not to have false Alarms (depending on the product
characteristics and on the environment) or bad detection performance.

Description Models
Distance between reading point and antenna
The reader is mounted upstream of the probe in order to read a code stamped on the package. If the
code is recognised, the reader sends a command to the Metal Detector to select the relevant
product type. The time required by the THS to process the barcode is usually insignificant, but
becomes important if the band or the detection mode is changed due to a modification in the type of
product. When the Metal Detector receives the signal to change product type, an internal adjustment
procedure is activated the length of which determines the minimum distance between two packages
with different codes, that is to say containing different products.

Eject confirmat.
Description Models
Enabling of the ejection confirmation
Set CE = ON to enable the control of the ejection confirmation. After the ejector activation, if the
EJECT CONFIRM Input is not activated within CT time, the Fault “Ejection not confirmed” is
activated (for example, in case of a contaminated pack not rejected correctly into the storage bin, or
with the ejector not correctly activated). Check the cause and reset the Fault.
If Ejection Position Check sensor is not used (EPC=OFF), this control enable also the activation of
the Fault “Ejection system jam” in case of Ejection Confirmation Input activation without ejection
before (for example, in case of a pack blocked, during the transit, in front of the Ejection
Confirmation sensor, or with the ejector stuck in ejection position). Removing the cause, the Metal
Detector reset automatically the Fault.
If EPC=ON, this control enables also the activation of the fault “Eject.out of order”, in case the
ejector is not correctly positioned.
Confirm time
Description Models
Confirm ejection time
With the Ejection Confirmation activated (CE=ON), CT represents the maximum allowed delay time
for the Ejection Confirmation Input to be activated, from the Ejection activation. See also CE
parameter.
Eject.check

Description Models
Activation of the encoder check functionality
If an encoder is used (KE > 0), set EA=ON to enable the encoder belt speed check. This control
depends on the system configuration:
-
With Conveyor Control System: After 10 seconds from the conveyor belt starting, if the speed read
by the encoder is lower than 0.7 BL or higher than 1.3 BM, the Fault “Encoder Frequency too low”
or the Fault “Encoder Frequency too high” is activated respectively. Remove the cause and reset
the Fault.
-
With Control Power Box: After 10 seconds from the conveyor belt starting, if the speed read by the
encoder is lower than BL or higher than BM, the Fault “Encoder Frequency too low” or the Fault
“Encoder Frequency too high” is activated respectively. Remove the cause and reset the Fault.
Con Control Power Box, è richiesta la connessione dell’ingresso FOLLOWING CONVEYOR e l’attivazione
del parametro FC, altrimenti il controllo della velocità viene comunque sempre effettuato indipendentemente
dallo stato del nastro.

Event buf. full
Description Models
Fault activation in case of memory buffer full
The Events buffer memory contains always the last 1000 (21E series) or 10000 (21 series) or
100000 (with IXC card) occurred events. When the events buffer is 100%, the new events overwrite
the oldest ones.
Set FB=ON to avoid possible overwriting of event not yet printed: when the events buffer memory,
not printed, is at 90% (equivalent to 900 events on 21E series, 9000 on 21 series or 90000 with IXC
card), the Fault “Event Buffer Full” is activated. In this case it is required to print last events (PL) and
erase the print events (EV). Events are not immediately erased, but simply they are available to be
overwritten by future events.
With IXC card, save the last events with the command “Save last events”, then erase them with the
command “Empty last events”.
Set FB=OFF to disable this control. See also PL and EV parameters.
Login restrict.
