2 Safety notices
2.1 Safety standards
The DB 12 B double sheet testing unit has been developed subject to the applicable safety
standard EN 60947-5-2 (IEC 60947-5-2).
2.2 Intended use
The DB 12 B double sheet testing unit has been conceived as a monitoring device mainly
for paper working machines. It monitors incoming paper sheets at machines designed to
process single sheets. It is used to detect and signal double sheets in the sheet feeder
during operation.
Attention!
The DB 12 B is not a safety module acc. to EU machine guidelines.
The protection of machine and the device cannot be guaranteed if the device is operated in
a manner not corresponding to its intended use.
Access to or changes on the device, except where expressly described in this manual, are
not authorised.
2.3 Areas of application
Safety notices
Double sheets made of the following materials can be reliably detected by the DB 12 B:
• Paper
• Plastic
• Metal foils
For paper, the measurement range is 20g/m
cardboard).
2
(airmail paper) to 1200g/m2 (homogeneous
2.4 Organisational measures
All entries in this operating manual must be heeded, in particular those in the section "Safety
notices" and "Commissioning".
Keep this technical description in a safe place. It should be accessible at all times.
Safety regulations
Observe the locally applicable safety regulations.
Qualified personnel
Mounting, commissioning and maintenance of the device may only be carried out by qualified personnel.

3 Device overview
The ultrasonic double sheet testing system consists of a VDB 12 B… analysis amplifier and
a pair of DB 18 UP ultrasonic sensors.
It detects and checks primarily paper, plastic and metal foils which are guided in by feeders.
The device functions as a presence monitor by constantly applying a signal at the single
sheet output when an object is located between the sensors. It functions as a double sheet
testing unit by comparing each sheet with the stored reference value. A detected double
sheet is signalled at the double sheet output.
