Magnetic chip detectors are mostly used for aircraft. On one side is a magnet that pulls any metals that are magnetic and they bridge a connection setting off a light, or latch. They are used to show in pending failure of a part like engine or transmission. There are other types of detectors that do the same thing to non magnetic materials.

What was used in fire detectors before americium?
The first smoke detectors are based on optical principles - photoelectric detectors.
Do wired smoke detectors mount on electrical boxes?
Hard wired smoke detectors have to have a junction box behind them. These detectors use 120 volts as a working voltage. These types of detectors should be wired with 3 conductor #14 wire. The detector uses the black and white wires for the 120 volt source. Detectors these days have an output signal wire that can be connected to other detectors so that if one trips it will sound the alarm in other detectors that are on the same circuit. This output wire can be connected to other detectors by the third red wire in the 3 conductor cable.
What brand of motion detectors have the the greatest range?
There are many levels of long range motion detectors, personal use and commercial use. Some motion detectors can detect movement up to 8-10 miles away. Some good brands for long range motion detectors are Honeywell and KNX.
What are facts about earthquake detectors?
They are flowers
Why does the Earth have radiation belts?
the belts result from charged particles interacting with the magnetic field of the earth and incurring an inward force pulling it into a tighter and tighter spiral as it penetrates deeper into the earth's atmosphere.finally its forward motion is reversed and the particle spirals along the magnetic force line to the other end where a similar reflection occurs. the magnetic field axis is rotated eastward from the geographical axis which provides an unsymetrical magnetic particle distribution in the earth coordinate. solar flares cause large asymmeries in the particle distribution and potentially harmful damage to exposed skin,electronics and particle detectors.
What is Magbetometer?
A magnetometer is an instrument that measures magnetic forces and the magnetization of magnetic material. A magnetometer can be found in cell phones and metal detectors.
Where is data stored on a credit card?
in a magnetic stripe, for magnetic cards and in a chip, for smart cards
The use of a magnetic stripe reader?
The data stored on a credit or debit card is stored not only in the metallic chip - but also on a magnetic strip on the rear of the card. Magnetic card readers read the data from the strip on the card, instead of the embedded chip.
Metal detectors like the ones used at airports are activated by magnetic fields or electromagnetic induction?
electromagnetic induction.
What is a chip reader?
it is a machine in which the pin or chip is read. hope it was helpful.
How many thousandths wide is the laser etched ring on the top of the magnetic chip detector?
20
How are submarines detected under the sea?
The primary method of detection of submerged submarines is sonar. We also see magnetic anomaly detectors used at close range.
What is the science behind metal detectors?
Metal detectors use one of three technologies. Either very low frequency, pulse induction, and Beat-free oscillation. Metal detectors work by creating an electromagnetic feild. This is done by running current through a coil at the head of the metal detector (the part you point at the ground). When there is metal, the changes in the magnetic feild are picked up by a second receiver coil.
What are examples of motion detectors?
Motion detectors are: infrared detectors, ultrasonic, microwave, radiowave and... dogs.
What was used in fire detectors before americium?
The first smoke detectors are based on optical principles - photoelectric detectors.
Can radar detectors tell you if a cop car is near you?
Only if he has his radar gun on. Radar detectors are not cop detectors.
What is full form of QB detectors?
Quartzoid Bulb Detectors
