Chapter 4: Configuring the FT-70 for Operation

4-5

Before You Begin

Before you begin conﬁguring the FT-70, verify the following is
completed:

•

The inspection head is completely installed and is correctly
centered and leveled over conveyor chain as explained in

Chapter 3: Installing the FT-70

•

The rejector is completely installed and is aligned correctly
with the conveyor chain as explained in the rejector manual.

•

The takeaway conveyor is conﬁgured properly as explained in
the rejector manual.

•

All ramp actions position the containers properly on the
conveyor chain when they reach the inspection area.

•

Containers ride smoothly on the conveyor, do not slide, and
are not agitated when they reach the inspection area.

•

The rejector air pressure is stable and set at the correct
pressure.

•

All power cable wiring to the FT-70 and signal cable wiring to
the rejector, encoder, and any remote sensors are complete.

•

The Safety Interlock Switch is turned on. This switch must be
on in order to activate the X-ray Generator.
