Overview
The METAL SHARK® FL is a high-performance metal detector designed for use in industrial environments such as fleece, textile, and foil production. It is capable of detecting both magnetic and non-magnetic metals with high sensitivity and accuracy.

Design and Construction
The device features a robust industrial design with sensor and control unit housings made from stainless steel, suitable for food industry applications. It is maintenance-free and built for reliable operation in challenging conditions.

Technology and Features
The METAL SHARK® utilizes advanced four-channel DDS (Direct Digital Synthesizer) and DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technology, providing excellent product-effect compensation and stability. Key features include:

• Digital balance control to mitigate temperature and humidity effects.
• Auto calibration for easy setup.
• Digital frequency and phase control to prevent drifts.
• Digital noise filters to eliminate unwanted signals.
• Multi-channel technology for detecting all metal types.

Power and Diagnostics
The device operates on a wide power supply range (85-265 V AC) and includes automatic diagnostics to display functional defects.

User Interface and Operation
The METAL SHARK® is designed for user-friendliness with an intuitive interface. The software guides users through necessary adjustments, and the display shows only essential information. Performance validation is automated, prompting regular checks as per HACCP standards.
