Photo Amplifiers; they are located either in the Inspection Station Electronic Enclosure (Label Detector P/N 22353) or in the FT-50 (Label Detector P/N 32769). In the Label Detector P/N 22353, the outputs from both Photo Amplifiers are combined (logically OR’ed) onto a single FT-50 Sensor input line.

This enables the FT-50 to accept only those bottles with body labels, instead of unlabeled bottles (which would appear have body labels by being measured early or late). Top View Side View Figure 1. Cross Beam Label Detector, P/N 22353...
Failure to maintain this spacing may result in bottles being falsely accepted or rejected. Function Descriptions FT-50 software contains specific functions that define the inspection parameters for the Label Detector Sensors and Display, and reset the contents of the Reject Counters. These...

25 mm, Default 12 mm) ADJUST DlST LABEL (STATUS/COMMAND) For Label Detector 22353, adjusts the distance set in TRIGGER TO LABEL, using the FT-50 Display as monitor. For Label Detector P/N 32769, enables adjustment of the 102 mm default Trigger to Label distance.

ALARM MISSING BODY LBL (STATUS/COMMAND) Sets the number of consecutive MISSING BODY rejects that cause an alarm condition. Rejects must be consecutive. Each good container that passes through the FT-50 will reset the Alarm Counter to zero. (Range: OFF, 1 250, Default: OFF)

18 in. downstream from the outside edge the FT-50. This allows approximately 13 in. working space between FT-50 and the Label Detector, should the FT-50 require service. Similarly, the Label Detector centerline should at least 10 in. upstream from the Proline rejector's centerline, to ensure that bottles have approximately 3 in.
Prerequisites from FT-50 Manual For both Label Detectors (P/N 22353 and P/N 32769), ensure that: 1. The FT-50 Trigger, High Resolution Encoder and Rejector are and calibrated per the FT-50 Manual, Chapter 2. The FT-50 Container Parameter Table and System Parameter...
(minimum Gain). 4. Adjust each Amplifier's potentiometer the same amount clockwise until each LED flashes steadily. 5. Place the filled unlabeled Test Bottle exactly on the FT-50 and Inspection Station (P/N 22353 only) centerline. 6. Verify that both LEDs flash the same time and at the same rate.
Fine Adjustment of Distance procedure. If (Trigger to Label) (page 13). The distance from the FT-50 Trigger to the Label Detector center point is the initial approximation of the Trigger to Label Distance. Industrial Dynamics Company Ltd. Document 3003-0395...

1. Measure the distance in millimeters from the FT-50 Trigger Beam to the Centering Tool's point (Label Detector center point); note the value. 2. Press the BOTTLE FINISH function key until the Display's top line shows INSP TRIG TO LABEL.
1. Remove the Production and the Takeaway Conveyor lock- outs and energize the Conveyors. Allow Production Bottles to flow past the FT-50 and the Inspection Station. 2. Press the BOTTLE FINISH function key until the Display shows ADJUST DISTNCE LABEL. The bottom line shows EXECUTE.

5. The Display changes to: 6. Observe the Display for one of the following four possible patterns: a. The Distance (Trigger to Label) is correct: (Ideal display pattern) (Acceptable display small pattern around center) b. The Distance (Trigger to Label) is too short: c.
Label Detector: 1. Press the BOTTLE FINISH function key until the Display shows LOOK DIST LABEL, or the particular text assigned to this FT-50. 2. Press the UP DOWN arrow keys until the Display's bottom line shows 3.

For Label Detector P/N 32769, perform the following procedure: Ensure that the FT-50 AC power is OFF. 2. Loosen Set-screw (8/32 in. UNC-2B, 5/64 in. hex socket) securing Sensor into Mounting Block and remove Sensor. 3. Remove FT-50 Cover. 4. Note which color Sensor wire is connected to which Photo Amplifier Socket (P/N 91893) terminal, and disconnect Sensor wires.
