2014  HMD-1000 Static Hot Metal Detector  2  
DESCRIPTION: 
The  HMD-1000  is  used  in  monitoring  the  presence  of  product  over  225°C.        It  is 
enclosed in a mill-duty, water-cooled, air-purged h ousing which is designed for the harsh 
conditions of steel mills
. 
  
The  detection  distance  can  be  adjusted  according  to   the  sight  field  and  the  type  of  product.      The 
HMD-1000 is equipped with an aiming laser for ease  of installation 
.

The Hot Metal Detector has two signal gains availab le, either “normal” or “high” gain.  
  
The normal setting, which is the default, should be  used for most situations involving hot metal that is 
orange-red in color.    
The high gain setting should be used for situations  where the metal is colder, such as after a quench or 
when the metal has cooled down to a grey color.    
The threshold potentiometer adjusts the energy poin t at which the sensor detects the hot metal.   The 
threshold can be adjusted on the back of the sensor .
