The rejector does not function

1. Is the rejector activated? Verify the Rejector Status Function is
enabled.
2. If you hear a clicking sound, but the rejector does not activate, the air
pressure is not turned on. Turn on air pressure to the rejector.
3. Check the cable between the rejector and the inspection units for
broken or frayed wires. If damaged, contact your Service Department.
4. The rejector pulse width function may need adjustment. Contact IDC
Customer Support for assistance.

All containers are rejected

1. The fill level calibration is incorrect and all containers are registering
as rejects. Contact your Service Department.
2. If system uses multiple container types, is the correct container type
selected?

The rejector is operating erratically

1. Is sufficient oil getting to the rejector? Check the oil level in the oiler
(on some models only).
2. The air supply may be erratic. Verify the air pressure is in the proper
operational range for the rejector.
3. Check to see if the cylinder is binding by shutting of the air pressure
to the rejector and moving the rejector in and out by hand. If it is
binding, contact your Service Department.
4. Check the cable between the rejector and the inspection units for
broken or frayed wires. If damaged, contact your Service Department.
5. Pass reject test container through the inspector and observe the time
delay synchronization. The rejector pad's centerline should contact
the container's centerline at the point of impact. If not, contact your
Service Department.
6. The rejector pulse width function may need adjustment. Contact IDC
Customer Support for assistance.

The rejector arm is sticking or binding

1. Check the rejector piston for smooth movement.
