Additional Parameters You May Want to Set Up

Listed below are additional parameters you may want to set up to get your particular
gravity-feed application running to your satisfaction.
Suppression-Time and Suppression-Amplitude Functions
These functions are used to prevent vibration from the gate interfering with the search
head. For more details, see page 130.
Reject-Confirm Function
If your gate is equipped with a position detector, this function allows the detector to
confirm that, during a reject cycle, the gate has properly completed both the "open" and
"close" phases of the reject cycle. In addition, if a gate failure occurs, the detector can
stop the flow of product, or notify you that a gate failure has occurred—for example,
because the air supply to the gate has failed, or product has built up on the gate or
surrounding duct-work. For more details, see page 137.
Warnings, Alarms, and Faults (WAFs)
Many of the detector's functions provide a warning, alarm, or fault when a condition
needing your attention occurs. This menu—in conjunction with the appropriate
hardwired external device—allows this to happen. For more details, see page 214.
Copying and Pasting Product Parameters
This function is particularly useful when you are testing multiple products. You can save
considerable amounts of time and effort using the copy and paste functions, because
you do not need to re-enter the product parameters for each product, re-run the
calibrations, and so on. For more details, see page 173.
