Aligning the APEX 500 Rx in Your
Production Line
The next step is to install the APEX (compressed-air and electric-reject models) in your
production line. Please note the following important information about the APEX's default
settings.
Important!
The default settings for operating the APEX (which were set at the factory before your
APEX was shipped) assume the APEX will be installed in your production line as follows.
 The angle of the input chute is set to 35°—where horizontal equals zero degrees.
 The total vertical drop from your product output-point to the search-head
opening is 10 inches (254 mm).
 When the input chute is set to 35° and the vertical drop to 10 inches (254 mm),
product should flow through the search head at approximately 300 feet per
minute (91 meters per minute). The default speed-filter setting for the APEX
500 Rx is to use the wide-band filter #2.
