CONFIGURABLE FUNCTIONS
How to congure the calculation of the distance from the conveyor belt edges:
On the Operating modecongurationbar,clickMaintenance to switch to mainte-
nance mode.
Switch to the Edge monitoring tab. Set the limits of the monitored area (left eld
ends at and right eld ends at) so that the entire monitoring area can still be co-
vered.
Or:
Switch to the Monitor tab. Click and drag the outside left or right edge beam to the
required aperture angle

4.12 Digital inputs
The Bulkscan has two digital inputs which are used to signal the belt operation and
reset the volume sum and mass sum.
How to congure the signaling of the belt operation:
Switch to the Measurement tab.
