Applications

The Stato-Sonde Z3 is a Hot Metal Detector for detection of steel at temperatures over 400 °C/750 °F.

Presentation

It has been designed to operate in industries such as steel mills and foundries.
Presented in a resistant case, it is designed for use in the severe conditions of the steel industry. It includes a protective hood for air purging and an optional cooling jacket.

Working Principle

The infrared radiation of the hot stock is focused by a lens and then collected by a photo-electric cell. When the energy level is over the adjusted level the output of the Stato-Sonde Z3 detector is switched on.

Main Features

• Optical field: 15° vertical, 4° horizontal.
• Relay output or high current static output.
• External sensitivity adjustment (located under the cover at the back side of the apparatus).
• Jack-plug for adjusting the aim (located under the cover at the back side of the apparatus).
  LED indicator.
• Optional connector and silicone cable with stainless steel protective braid (Z3 - •C - • •).
• Hinged frontal hood which fold downwards in order to make cleaning of the optical parts easier. This protective hood is equipped with an inlet for compressed air, designed to keep out dust.
• A cooling plate is available, with a water circulation rate of 2 I/mn, for use when ambient temperature is over 75 °C / 170 °F.
• Modular construction, allowing rapid maintenance.
