Industrial Dynamics Company, Ltd. Document 40272-0700 4-11
The display shows a blinking cursor and the beacon
is on
Check to be sure the reset switch is not stuck.
There is no display and the beacon is off
1.
If you are using a remote control panel check that it is plugged into
the connector on the inspection head correctly.
2.
Reset the FT-50 by pressing the reset button for three seconds while
turning the machine off and on.
• If the beacon does not flash, the beacon bulb is burned out.
• If the beacon is solid there is a problem with the processor card.
• If the beacon flashes once and stops, there is a problem with the
terminal card.
The display is garbled or operates erratically
To correct this problem, contact your Service Department.
False triggers or reject timing malfunctions are
occurring
1.
Inspect and clean the lenses. Use a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol
to clean the lense. If the lense is scratched, chipped, cracked, or
discolored, replace it.
2.
If the rejector timing is erratic and you are certain all settings are
configured properly, the encoder may not be installed properly, or the
encoder coupling may be slipping. The encoder has a built in
diagnostic that displays error 22 when the encoder has failed and
must be replaced.
3.
Pass reject test container through the inspector and observe the time
delay synchronization. The rejector pad's centerline should contact
the container’s centerline at the point of impact. If not, contact your
Service Department.
No triggering occurs
The height of the sensor has been changed. Check to see that the
FT-50 head height and/or the height of the malfunctioning sensor has
not bee altered.
