The safety shutter is a small metal door that, when closed, stops the
emission of gamma waves that are required for fill level inspection.
Your FT-50 can be equipped with either a manual safety shutter or an
automatic safety shutter called the autoshutter. The autoshutter operates
automatically by closing when the production line stops and opening
when the production line is running. The manual safety shutter must be
manually closed and opened by the operator.

1 Safety Shutter opened.
2 Safety Shutter closed.
Figure 2-2. The manual safety shutter.
You need only close the safety shutter if you are performing an operation
that requires you to place a body part (such as your hand) in the inspection
tunnel.
1. Open the safety shutter by pulling the activation rod out until it stops.
When the shutter is opened completely, the red band on the rod
showing the word "open" appears.
2. Close the safety shutter by pushing the rod in until it stops. When the
shutter is completely closed, the red band on the rod showing the
word "open" will no longer appear.
The safety shutter must be opened to perform fill level inspection. If the
shutter is closed and you attempt to perform fill level inspection, you will
receive an error number 13.
