Ever since Goring Kerr began production of industrial metal detection equipment they have incorporated some type of fault detection system. The RF board fault started with the DSP series of metal detectors and is one of the more critical fault systems within the metal detector.
What causes an RF board fault?
There are a number of factors that can contribute to an RF board fault in the DSP metal detectors. At the core of the metal detectors electronics is a digital signal processor or DSP. This is the brains of the system and does everything from determining when there is metal to monitoring various fault inputs.
Common RD board fault sources
- 24 volt power supply
- Secondary fuses
- Faulty wire connections
- Cut cables
