8.3 - Bottle Sensor Positioning
BOTTLE SENSORS
There are three photoelectric fiber optic bottle
sensors. They must be positioned along the
conveyor rail so that the light source will shine
directly at the side of the bottle when the bottle is
stopped in a line with other bottles.
1. The
Supply Bottle Sensor is positioned
upstream from the filling station, to assure a
supply of empty bottle is available.
2. The
Start Bottle Sensor must be positioned on
the bottle in the filling station. It may be
necessary to angle the sensor slightly to get a
straight on look at the bottle. Use a ¼” open
wrench to adjust the angle bracket. Do not
position it at a bottle upstream, or errors at the
filling position will not be detected.
3. The
Backup Bottle Sensor in positioned
downstream from the filling station, to detect if
bottles backup from a downstream stoppage,
which could interfere with the release of bottles
from the filling station.
4. You can check the status of the all three bottle
sensors can by looking through the
Bottle Sensor
Status window in the control panel. The green
light indicates power is on and the yellow light
indicates an output signal (bottle detected).
