Cardin Elettronica METALDEC Serie Mode D'emploi page 12

The system is made up of four parts:
1) A METALDEC detection device contained in a special protective case.
2) Socket for fitting on panelling or rails DIN46277
3) A sensitive element (not supplied by us) made up of a multipolar cable with one or more wires.
4) A cable with which to connect the sensitive element to the detecting device. If you use two single
wire cables these should be loosely wound together.
Positioning the detector
The appliance is located inside a container that allows it to be installed on a panel or a DIN rail. As
the METALDEC detector has a protection grade of IP40 it must be placed inside a box or casing in
order to guarantee protection against water infiltration. It is absolutely forbidden to install the device
outdoors and it cannot be embedded. The interconnection between the coil and the detector must
be protected against water infiltration via capillarity. Access to the appliance for future regulation
and calibration must be guaranteed.
Making the sensitive element (fig. 1)
The possible dimensions are represented in figure fig. 1. The sensitive element shall be made by
taking into consideration the system's requirements, the fundamental part of which is a multipolar
cable, made up of at least two wires (Ø 1-1,5 mm). The wires that make up the cable have to be
connected in series.
Caution! The examples for creating the loop shown in fig. 1 are purely indicative, we advise you
therefore to make sure that the system is functioning correctly before embedding with tarmac.
