Calibrating The Speed-Encoder Function - Thermo Scientific APEX 100 User Manual

Setting the Inverting-Reject Function
To enable the inverting-reject function, do the following.
1) Make sure the inverting-reject function is highlighted, as shown above.
2) Press the Go button and a check mark appears. The inverting-reject function is now
active.

3) Press the Back button to exit the function.

Calibrating the Speed-Encoder Function

This function is used only in conveyor applications. A speed encoder must be attached to
your conveyor and hardwired to the detector. In addition, the detector's speed-encoder
function must be calibrated.

Advantages of Using the Speed-Encoder Function
There are many advantages of enabling the speed-encoder function. First, whenever you
change conveyor speed, the detector automatically displays the correct, updated product
speed in the main menu. Second, any other detector parameters that rely on product
speed—such as reject delay, reject duration, and speed filtering—are automatically
recalibrated to account for the change in product speed. This is particularly useful if you
monitor multiple products at different product speeds, or inspect other products by
manually passing them through the search head. Thus, you can monitor Product 1 with
the speed-encoder parameter enabled, and Product 2 with the parameter disabled. The
speed-encoder function is a product-specific parameter.
