APEX* Upgrade Program

Reduced Cost of Ownership

• Protect your investment by extending the usable life of Thermo Scientific Goring Kerr DSP2, 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
• An innovative, touch-panel keypad has no moving parts improving long-term reliability

• Meet new, more stringent quality standards by detecting metal that is 5-10% smaller in diameter
• 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
• A new electronic design simplifies installation and service
• The food-grade ABS control panel easily handles shock, vibration, water and various cleaning solutions
• An innovative, touch-panel keypad has no moving parts improving long-term reliability

This upgrade includes the following:

• On-site installation of the APEX Upgrade by a Thermo Fisher Scientific* field service professional
• Preventive maintenance and certification of the upgraded metal detector
• Technician and operator training
• All new Users Guide and Quickstart
• New test pieces selected for your application
• A one-year, all-inclusive on-site warranty

Return-to-Factory Upgrade:

This upgrade includes the following:

• Factory installation of the APEX Upgrade
• Preventive maintenance and certification of the upgraded metal detector
• All new Users Guide and Quickstart
• New test pieces selected for your application
• A one-year, all-inclusive return-to-factory warranty

• 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 DSP2 upgrade includes installation of new oscillator/receiver electronics increasing the field service time required.
• 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 detectorand 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
