Fault/Warning Beacon Package

This option provides a blue and an amber beacon tower that is connected to
the SLPA. The blue/amber lights are used to convey fault/warning information
in this package, as follows:
•
Fault: An illuminated blue beacon signals a fault situation. Fault
conditions (such as Out of Label) signal a state where operation is
suspended until the condition is cleared.
•
Warning: An illuminated amber beacon signals a low label situation. This
signal state allows operation to continue, but the operator is prompted to
check the system's status.

Label On Pad Sensor

The sensor detects whether or not a label is present on the pad. Typically the
sensor is set to 15 inches of pulling vacuum. If the sensor detects less than 15
inches of pulling vacuum, it tells the system that the label is not on the pad. If
the sensor detects more than 15 inches of pulling vacuum, it tells the system
that the label is on the pad. Once the sensor detects that a label is on the pad,
the system goes into the label application stage. The vacuum generator
should be set to a minimum of 20 inches when the label is on the pad.
