These operating instructions are a part of the equipment. The
manufacturer reserves the right to change performance-, spe-
cification- or technical data without prior notice. Please keep
these instructions for future reference.

1.1 Intended Use

The BMD measures the wear of mechanical parts by detecting
ferromagnetic particles. The sensor has a G1" thread and can
be built directly into a gear case or a circulating lubrication
circuit. The particle count is continuously detected using an
inductive measuring principle and analysed. Data is output
via digital and analog interfaces. By detecting wear and dam-
ages early, service can be planned and downtimes minimised.
The sensor detects the following parameters:
• Sensor temperature
• Ferromagnetic particles
• Ferromagnetic chunks

1.2 Scope Of Delivery

• Bühler Metal Detector BMD
• Product Documentation
2 Safety instructions
The equipment must be installed by a professional familiar
with the safety requirements and risks.
Be sure to observe the safety regulations and generally applic-
able rules of technology relevant for the installation site. Pre-
vent malfunctions and avoid personal injuries and property
damage.
The operator of the system must ensure:
• Safety notices and operating instructions are available
and observed,
• The respective national accident prevention regulations
are observed,
• The permissible data and operational conditions are
maintained,
• Safety guards are used and mandatory maintenance is
performed,
• Legal regulations are observed during disposal,
• compliance with national installation regulations.

3 Transport and storage
Only transport the product inside the original packaging or a
suitable alternative.
The equipment must be protected from moisture and heat
when not in use. It must be stored in a covered, dry, dust-free
room at room temperature.

4 Installation and connection

4.1 Installation
Place the sensor at a measuring point characteristic for the
system. There is no preferred direction of flow.
Fig. 1: Installing the sensor and detection radius
To ensure proper function, please note the following
guidelines:
• Sensor surface fully covered in oil.
• Observe the minimum and maximum flow rate.
• Adequately mixed oil.
• Avoid foam.
• Do not install in the immediate proximity of motors,
pumps or other hot components.
CAUTION
There must be no interfering contours and (electro)magnetic
fields within the detection radius (r).
How far the sensor tip reaches into the oil may vary by sys-
tem. We advise contacting Bühler Technologies GmbH Tech-
nical Service.
To ensure reliable measurements, the sensor tip should not
be immersed further into the flow channel than specified.
