Diagnostic Error Codes Descriptions

Error Number 2

An attempt was made to activate the rejector while the Rejector 
Status Function is turned off. To correct this error, turn the Rejector 
Status Function on. For more information see “Software Function 
Descriptions” in Chapter 3.

Error Number 5

The maximum limit of 32 containers between the trigger beam and 
the rejector has been exceeded. Report this error to your Service 
Department.

Error Number 6

A consecutive reject timing error that occurs when an encoder 
pulse is missed. One pulse per container is required, and starting 
and stopping the conveyor suddenly while a container is in the 
inspection trigger zone, or improper encoder calibration caused a 
missed pulse. Report this error to your Service Department.

Error Number 10

This error occurs when the number of consecutively rejected 
containers exceeds the limit set in the Consecutive Fill Level Reject 
Alarm Function. Report this error to your Service Department.

Error Number 11

This error occurs when the number of consecutively rejected 
containers exceeds the limit set in the Consecutive Missing Cap 
Reject Alarm Function. Report this error to your Service 
Department.

Error Number 12

This error occurs when the number of consecutively rejected 
containers exceeds the limit set in the Consecutive High Cap Reject 
Alarm Function. Report this error to your Service Department.

Error Number 13

This error indicates the x-ray counts detected by the scintillation 
tube are 12% below the of the reject threshold level. Report this 
error to your Service Department.
