Time Width Of Can

The time in milliseconds it takes the container to pass through the
trigger beam. See also Looktime Gate.
To change the Time Width of Can value:
1. Press Key 5 until TIME WIDTH OF BOTTLE appears.
2. With the conveyor operating at maximum production speed,
place a sample production container on the conveyor far
enough upstream of the FT-70 so the container is positioned
correctly and does not slip on the conveyor chain as it passes
through the inspection area.
3. Record the Time Width value that appears.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 four more times and then calculate the
Looktime using the following equation.

a + + + + b
-------------------------------------- -

4. Press Key 1until LOOKTIME GATE appears and use the Arrow
Key to enter the calculated Looktime value.

Chain Velocity

The calculated velocity of the conveyor chain in mpm (meters per
minute). This value is automatically calculated by the FT-70.
Alarm Underfills
The minimum number of consecutive underfill rejects that will
trigger an alarm condition. The count is reset to zero when a good
container is detected. This function can alert you to filler
malfunctions.
Alarm Overfills
The minimum number of consecutive overfill rejects that will
trigger an alarm condition. The count is reset to zero when a good
container is detected. This function can alert you to filler
malfunctions.
