General Description

The MSE-FMD95 fully digital "All-in-One" Remote Hot Metal Detector incorporates a bar display showing the IR input signal relative to the pre-set trip level as well as selected programmable thresholds and response times via simple external programming switch action. Operates via highly sensitive and stable InGaAs Photodiode, detection is assured via the heaviest water and steam.

The MSE-FMD95 utilizes a modular digital Controller in protective mounting Cradle, flexible armored optic leads and interchangeable Remote Lenses. As the controller can be used in conjunction with any lens option one standard controller can be used throughout the mill. Now there is no need to stock a detector for each requirement. Costly multiple inventory can be replaced with one detector.

A wide variety of remote lenses impervious to water & steam are built to withstand the harshest environments are available. Used in conjunction with flexible armored optic leads, these lenses provide a high level of optical accuracy by allowing the selection of the ideal lens arrangement for the installation. Robust lenses with temperature ratings of 180°C, 400°C and 800°C can be mounted close to the hot product. Various robust lens mounts are available including air purged, air purged with air cooling and air purged with water cooling.

A The remote lenses incorporate filters to minimize sensitivity to extraneous light. For general tracking, spot lenses are commonly used. Where high accuracy is required or the product deviates about the center line (i.e. Rod Mill) a 0.5° x 25° precision slit rectangular lens should be utilized. This lens is also highly suited for Strip Mills. The precision slit rectangular lens can also be shuttered to 0.5° x 15° or 0.5° x 5° depending on the application .

Also available is the 800°C Shrouded Quartz Rod Lens, specifically engineered for mounting in the harsh and high ambient environment below the line or inside the mill stand.

Front LED Bar Display

The front LED Bar Display of the  MSE-FMD95 allows the user to clearly establish the amount of received IR both from the background metalwork and the bar being detected and thereby establishing the correct trip level required.

The far left red LED in this display also allows the user to align the Detector of a low energy IR source (flashlight), which normally would be insufficient to switch the detector. When the low energy IR source is detected the single red LED powers on.

Adjustment of both the threshold and the response time is also clearly defined by this bar display.

The MSE-FMD95 is a direct replacement for the MCSL Model MD9100 and Model MD95100 Remote Hot Metal Detectors. Please contact us for additional information.

A complete MSE-FMD95 Remote Fiber Hot Metal Detector consists of a MSE-FMD95 Signal Processor Controller with Mounting Cradle and a Signal Power Connection Cable, a Remote Optic Head, an Optic Head Holder and a Fiber Optic Lead.
