PROGRAMMING 2
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 passwords.
- 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, …).

PROGRAMMING 2
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 characteristics 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.
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

Sens. margin
SA 10 – 50 25 Global
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. All models
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.

Description Models
Vibration immunity
This parameter has effect only after the Autolearn execution. All models
Setting VI between 1 and 250, the Autolearn procedure optimizes the Product settings both for the except
best detection sensitivity and against possible mechanical vibrations. Increasing this value will result THS/MN21
in a higher vibrations immunity of the Metal Detector, but the detection sensitivity could result lower and
respect with VI=0. THS/xx21E
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.

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 All models
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.
