Selecting Metal Types
SW1 and SW2 are used to inform the controller of the types of metals used in the manufacture of the
can ends and are generally set according to the metals used. However, metals with coatings, in
particular steels with coatings, may not produce significant differences in measured values between
tab/no-tab and single/double conditions. In these cases, it is acceptable to select a metal setting
different from the metals in use. Typically, this means, using the aluminum ends and/or tabs settings
when using particular coated steels.
Sensing Aluminum Ends
When sensing aluminum ends, insure that SW1 is off for both channels.
Sensing Steel Ends
When sensing steel ends, insure that SW1 is on for both channels. See paragraph above on Selecting
Metal Types.
Sensing Aluminum Tabs on Aluminum Ends
When sensing aluminum tabs on aluminum ends, insure SW1 and SW2 are off for both channels. See
paragraph above on Selecting Metal Types.
Sensing Aluminum Tabs on Steel Ends
When sensing aluminum tabs on steel ends, set SW1 on and SW2 off for channel 1. See paragraph above
on Selecting Metal Types.
Set SW1 on and SW2 off for channel 2.
Sensing Steel Tabs on Steel Ends
When sensing steel tabs on steel ends, set SW1 on and SW2 off for channel 1 and set both SW1 and
SW2 on for channel 2. See paragraph above on Selecting Metal Types.
Set Sinking or Sourcing Outputs
The setting of SW5 determines whether the output drivers are sinking or sourcing. SW5 off selects
sourcing, SW5 on selects sinking.
