Before you can use your FT-50 Inspection System you must
configure the FT-50 and the rejector to operate on your production
line. There are two parts to configuring the inspection system:
• Mechanical Configuration consists of physically adjusting and
aligning the FT-50 sensors and the rejector.
• Software Configuration consists of activating and setting all
operational parameters for the inspection functions.
The following flow chart explains the configuration order.
Perform fill level
optimization, if need.
Your FT-50 may not
contain these options.
These procedures apply
only if your FT-50 is so
equipped.
