the sorter unit.
Complete Startup Procedure
- After complete shutdown.
Attention: - Please remember to start the machine at least half an hour earlier (+/-30’), to
give the light tubes and the cameras suffi cient warm-up time to reach the
appropriate light intensity and colour temperature before taking reference
lines and starting the sorting process.
1. Switch on the Cooling unit (if present) several minutes (10’ to 15’) before switching on the sorter
unit. This will give the Cooling unit some time to lower the temperature of the cooling water.

(Only when Product Line switch (8) is on manual.)
