Pass a contaminated test product. The reject-confirmation process will be calibrated
as soon as the package is rejected and activates the reject-confirmation sensor or
sensors.
Reject Timing Is Application-Specific
Please refer to the two options that follow, and chose the function that is appropriate to
your particular conveyor, gravity-feed, pipeline, or pharmaceutical application.
Manually Setting the Timing for a Reject-1 Confirm
This function (the single-reject-confirmation function) is used to confirm that a reject
has, indeed, taken place. For this function to work in conveyor applications, you must
place a photo eye at the mouth of the reject bin. For this function to work in gravity-
feed, pipeline, and pharmaceutical applications, you must 1) have a sensor installed on
the reject gate, and 2) hardwire the sensor to Input 3 on the detector’s wiring board.
More specifically, this function allows you to fine tune the reject-confirmation time by
keying in a time (a time window) in which the reject must occur and, thus, be
confirmed. If a reject does not occur within this time window, the detector issues a
warning, alarm, or fault that notifies you an error has occurred during the reject
process.
Reject 1 Confirm Time

Make sure the reject-confirm function is highlighted, as shown above.
