and stays on). If the light does not come on while there is power to the machine (e-stop is not engaged) then the
sensor may be defective and require replacement.
D.9.3.2
Fill descends, cans fill but do not stop filling
Problem
Fill head descends, the cans fill but the fill process does not stop.
Solution
Check that the CIP button on the main page is not turned to the ‘on’ position.
D.9.3.3
Fill head does not rise
Problem
Cans stop filling but can fill head will not rise.
Solution
Check the position of the sensor on the fill head air piston. Lower sensor light should be illuminated. If it is not illuminated
fill head will not rise. Reposition the sensor (up or down on the air cylinder shaft) until the light comes on. If the light does
not come on the sensor may be defective and require replacement.
D.9.3.4
More than 5 cans exit the filler after a fill cycle
Problem
More than 5 cans exit the filler after a fill cycle.
Solution
The count-out sensor is miscounting cans. One of two possible adjustments, or a combination of the two may be required:
Adjust the position of the front guide rail of the conveyor so that it is closer to the back rail. The two must be as
close together as possible without causing binding of the cans between the rails.
If the rails are as close as possible after adjustment 1) then reposition the count-out sensor on its mounting
bracket, by loosening the set nuts on either side of the bracket. Move the end of the sensor in closer to the cans
and then retighten the set nut. To verify if the sensor is properly positioned, hold a can snugly against the front
guide rail (not the back rail where the sensor is mounted) and slide it back and forth in front of the sensor while
checking the sensor indicator light and verifying that it illuminates each time the can passes in front of it.
