9. Press Key 4 until INSPECT TRIG TO C/L REJ appears and use
the Arrow Key to enter the measurement in millimeters.
10. Measure the diameter of the production container (in milli-
meters) at the point where the container intersects the trigger
beam. This is the containers can width at the trigger point.
11. Press Key 5 until CAN WIDTH AT TRIG appears and enter (in
millimeters) the production container’s width at the trigger
point.
12. Measure the diameter of the container (in millimeters) at its
widest point. This is the containers maximum diameter.
13. Press Key 5 until MAXIMUM CAN DIAMETER appears and
enter (in millimeters) the production container’s maximum
diameter.
14. Press Key 5 until MAXIMUM LINE SPEED appears and enter
the line speed (in cpm) for the container in use. The program
assumes 12 mm container spacing in order to perform prelim-
inary calculations.
15. Press Key 5 until CONVEYOR DRIVE SPROCKET appears and
enter the number of teeth on the conveyor chain sprocket, or
the number of teeth on the chain sprocket at the drive shaft
where the encoder is directly coupled.
16. Start the conveyor and run it at the maximum required
production speed. If this is not possible because the filler is not
running, run it at the highest speed available.
Note
If you cannot perform steps 17 and 18 while running the conveyor
at maximum speed, you must repeat steps 17 and 18 later, when
maximum speed is available.
17. Press Key 5 until CHAIN VELOCITY appears. Note this value
because you need to enter it in the Maximum Conveyor Speed
function (step 18).
18. Press Key 5 until MAXIMUM CONVEYOR SPEED appears
and enter the CHAIN VELOCITY value from the previous
step. The optimum encoder value for the current line speed is
now calculated including the Calibrate Encoder Value, Encoder
Prescaler Value, and Gamma Sample Cutoff Limit.
