usable life of Thermo Scientific® Goring Kerr DSP3, DSP IP, DSP IP+, and Metal Eliminator metal detectors

• Upgrade all production lines to a common platform simplifying training, maintenance and reducing spares

Leading-Edge Performance• Meet new, more stringent quality standards

by detecting smaller diameter metal• Utilize improved sensitivity to reduce rework

and scrap caused by occasional false rejects

• Eliminate the need for setup adjustments by employing a new phase-tracking function and Thermo Scientific Intellitrack XR (IXR) software

Simplified, More Reliable Design• A new electronic design simplifies

installation and service• The food-grade ABS control panel easily

handles shock, vibration, water and various cleaning solutions

Important Upgrade Notes• Field service charges are determined locally and are not included in the APEX Upgrade price. This offer includes all DSP-based

products/applications (conveyors, drop throughs, pipelines) except the DSP Rx, DSP2 Minitek UK and DSP1.• The APEX Upgrade control panel must be mounted remotely for the DSP IP and DSP IP+ due to the small size of metal detector

cases.• Return-to-factory upgrades will typically be completed within 2-4 weeks of receipt of your old metal detector and a purchase

order in our facility. Please clean all food residue from the old metal detector before shipping it to the factory.• The above upgrades do NOT include any repair work due to moisture ingress, physical damage or general abuse. If the metal detector is in poor condition such that the APEX Upgrade may not function correctly the service or factory

technician will notify you in advance of installation of the kit.• A 5-10% improvement in sensitivity can typically be achieved with the APEX upgrade, but is dependent on your application and

installation.
