Fortress Metal Detector Interface
1. Detect – illuminates with a red LED upon detec�on.
2. LED Bar Graph – center-reading meter contains a green and red zone to visually quan�fy the signal of product,
metal, or background noise. The larger the signal the more significant the effect/contamina�on being detected.
3. Fault – flashes upon system fault.
4. LCD Display – digital screen shows system status and enables programming via menus.
5. So� Keys – used to edit menu op�ons.
6. Enter – used to confirm changes to menu op�ons.
7. Exit – cancels any changes and returns to the previous menu.
8. Menu – navigates through submenus. Refer to Sec�on 2.3 in Operator set-up manual for further details.
9. Product – indicates with a green LED whether a product is running through the Detector; a red LED represents
a high product effect reading.
10. Hard Keys – dedicated shortcut keys provide quick access to the most commonly used features.
11. Arrow Keys – used to navigate within menu op�ons, and increase/decrease values when edi�ng.
Refer to Operator Setup manual for more informa�on regarding Interface.

The purpose of Calibra�on is to “teach” the metal detector a product effect, “learn” it (it’s a good product) and
ignore it or phase it out at a par�cular “Phase” point.

To Learn a new product or re-calibrate at any

�me, simply press the <Calibrate> key two
�mes and let good product pass through the
detector (learn vibra�on if product light does
not come on by firmly pressing on detector).

If “Calibrated” properly, (detector has “phased out” good

product), signal with good product should be under ‘60’ Product 1 Rej: 0
(20-30 typical). Metal test samples should exceed a Sens: 100 Signal: 20
signal level of ‘100’ to get a detec�on.

NOTE: The lower the sensi�vity to pick up the sample, the be�er to minimize
exit outside noise interference.
Sensi�vity may be increased, as long as, the signal from product is under “60”.
