What to do if my Thermo Scientific Metal Detector reject device has failed?
Check the action of your reject device to ensure it is working properly. Inspect the reject-confirm switch. You might also want to increase the reject-confirm time using the detector’s reject-confirm function.
What to do if the Thermo Scientific APEX 100 Metal Detector is not getting a signal from the external speed encoder?
Retest APEX using a test sample and with the belt running; this may clear the fault. If the problem persists, check the functioning of the external speed encoder.
What to do if my Thermo Scientific APEX 100 Metal Detector shows a photo eye fault?
Check the alignment of the photo eye, ensuring the product is breaking the beam. Also, check for reasons for false triggering, such as metal in the belt. Perform a complete test of the detector, including the reject device.
What does it mean when my Thermo Scientific Metal Detector shows an excess reject fault?
Press Clear Fault. Keep in mind that this fault may be caused by excessive contamination in the product, so examine the rejected product to see whether it is heavily contaminated.
What does it mean when my Thermo Scientific Metal Detector shows a phase limit fault?
This may be caused by contaminated product or metal elsewhere in the system. If necessary, check and adjust the phase limits. Inspect for contaminated product and metal elsewhere in the system.
What to do if my Thermo Scientific Metal Detector has been subjected to lightning?
Erase the memory.
Why does my Thermo Scientific APEX 100 Metal Detector show AuditCheck fault?
Make sure that you have set up appropriate fault limits for the AuditCheck function, because the signal produced by your product will vary. Also, verify that the Alarm Limit and Fault Limit have not been inadvertently misapplied.
What to do if my Thermo Scientific APEX 100 Metal Detector QA test light has been ignored?
Perform a QA test.
What to do if the Thermo Scientific APEX 100 Metal Detector doesn't detect the peak size during QA test?
Repeat the QA test so the required number of detections are achieved.
How to fix a broken search-head cable connection on my Thermo Scientific Metal Detector?
Examine the cable connections at both ends to make sure all wires are connected correctly.
