Rx Applications
Listed below are the most commonly used
functions for setting up a typical pharma-
ceutical application.
Reject-Delay Time
This function is usually set to 0.00 seconds,
and tells the chute to close immediately when
contaminants are detected. If your chute is a
long way from the search head, you may
need to set a longer delay time.
1) Make sure the Main Menu is displayed.
2) Navigate to the rejects menu.
3) Press the Go button.
4) On page 1 of the rejects menu, highlight
the "Reject 1 Distance/Delay" function.
Reject 1 Distance/Delay
5) Press the Go button and an input screen
appears.
6) Key in an appropriate value (in seconds
and hundredths of a second) for the
reject-delay time.
Reject Duration Time
This is the time that the chute remains closed
to divert contaminated product, and is usually
set to 0.15 seconds.
1) Navigate to the screen shown in the
"Reject-Delay Time" section.
2) Highlight the "Reject 1 Duration" function.
Reject 1 Duration
3) Press the Go button and an input screen
appears.

IntelliTrack XR™ (IXR)
The IXR function allows you to detect
stainless steel in wet products, and metallic
contaminants in wet and dry products having
phase angles that vary from pack to pack.
IXR is used, typically, in conveyor applications
and is not available for pipeline applications.
Please note that you must have an in-feed
photo-eye (or other triggering device)
installed for the IXR function to work. IXR is
not available for gravity-feed or Rx appli-
cations.
Before using the IXR function, you must set
the following parameters.
• Pack length
• "Detection no-pack" distance
• In-feed photo-eye distance
• Photo-eye registration
Pack Length
See the instructions on page 2.
