3.3.5 X-ray Detector Mask Installation
NOTICE!
–
The X-Ray system is shipped with the permanent 25.4 mm x 25.4 mm
detector mask installed. The optional 25.4 mm x 12.7 mm or 7.6 mm x 12.7 mm mask may
be installed if a smaller fill height range is required
.
(25.4 mm x 25.4 mm) Detector Mask
The fill height detection range is 25.4 mm (1 in).
This mask is used for maximum fill height measurement range where head space may
vary due to filler operations or container variations.
Use the Plastic algorithm when the 25.4 mm permanent window is used.
The Plastic algorithm automatically sets the X-ray beam intensity for the 25.4 mm mask
opening.
(25.4 mm x 12.7 mm) or (7.6 mm x 12.7 mm) Detector Mask Installation
The fill height detection range is 12.7 mm (1/2 in.).
These masks are used when the space between the top of the product and the container
lid is small, or when greater resolution is desired over the shorter range.
1. Turn the system power OFF.
2. Remove the control cabinet receiver assembly by removing the base plate mount screws.
3. Place the CAN or GLASS detector mask into the slot at the face of the detector frame and
secure with the included mount screws.
4. Replace the control cabinet receiver assembly and secure with the base plate mount
screws.
5. Adjustment of the X-ray energy may be required when the smaller windows are installed.
This adjustment must be performed by factory trained TapTone technicians.
