Operating Instructions
3.
Use the Navigation Keys to select an unused product number and then
press the OK / Enter Key to confirm the selection.
4.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to scroll through all of the Product menu options until you have
selected and confirmed values for each option.
The Product menu options available are as follows:
■
Product No (number)
Each product must have a unique product number which is used by the software to store the
product settings for recall when the product is selected to be run.
■
N
ame
To assist with identification and selection, you should give all products a unique name, which
can be up to 25 alphanumeric characters in length.
■
Product type
The available options for selection are described below.
O
Unknown
This is the default option and is recommended for selection if you are in any doubt
whether the other options available are more appropriate. In effect you are letting the
detector decide which product type is most suitable to use.
If during the product Learn process no product effect is exhibited, the detector will
automatically select the Dry option anyway.
O
Dry
Select this option if you are sure that the product will exhibit no product effect. The
detector will then use the pre-set ferrite phase angle rather than learn from the actual
product.
If during the product Learn process a product effect is exhibited, the detector will advise
that the Learn process has failed. You should then set the Product type to Unknown and
repeat the learn process.
O
Metal film
Select this option if the product to be inspected is foil packed.
Note that this option will only appear if the Auto-Frequency option is selected and the
Dry Working Mode option is not selected in the Menus > Learn > Set Up menu.
■
Flow length
The Flow length option is displayed if a Product Registration Photo-eye is in use and the PEC
enable option has been selected in the
Menus > Service > Configuration > System menu.
The detector needs to know the length of the pack to enable it to function correctly.
Measure the product diagonally and enter that length to provide some tolerance and avoid the
generation of false triggers and nuisance error messages; for example where the external
packaging has curled up or packs are presented too close together. Then enter the pack
length in millimetres.
■
Reject delay
The following should be noted before setting up the Reject Delay and Reject Dwell timing for
a product.
