AuditCheck

(System and Tools—Page 1)
The detector's AuditCheck function allows you to test the detector's ability to detect
contaminants at the same time that product is passing through the search head. The
AuditCheck function typically is used only in conveyor applications, and is used as part of
your overall quality-assurance program—in particular, during long production runs
lasting several hours, several days, a week, and so on.
The main advantage of using AuditCheck is that it is able to detect very small changes
over time in the sensitivity of the search head and alert you well before contaminated
products are likely to pass unnoticed. In comparison to manual testing (which is
described in the Quality Test section above), using the AuditCheck function is
significantly more accurate and precise, and is virtually foolproof—meaning, if
AuditCheck is used regularly, there is little chance of contaminated product passing
unnoticed.
This section assumes you have already completed the mechanical installation of the
AuditCheck components, and have matched the speed of the test shuttle to the speed of
the product moving on your conveyor.
