Introduction basic V3.2
Introduction
General
For many years HEUFT has set the high-quality level in the field of inspection techniques controlled by
microprocessors. All technology used in our systems is the result of our own research and development.
Therefore the optimum co-operation of all parts is ensured. HEUFT basic is the synthesis of the most modern
technology and long years of experience in the packaging industry.
Contents of the Operator’s Manual

The Operator's Manual is tailored to the requirements of the personnel using the device.
It contains all information which is necessary for the safe and qualified handling of the device. After the
introduction, the safety regulations and the table of contents follow the sections General Description,
Operating, Maintenance and Trouble Shooting. The optional components are described afterwards. The
Operator's Manual is completed by the Appendix. It includes the list of device messages, the index and the
parameter sheets. All chapters of the Operator's Manual have the same structure and consist of:
» General Description
Presentation of the components with illustrations and/or drawings and explanation of the used terms.
» Operating
Description of the device functions which are available to the operator.
» Maintenance
Determination of periodic maintenance work.
» Trouble Shooting
Assistance for trouble shooting and corrective measures.
How to use the manual

Prior to the first use of the device read the Operator's Manual carefully. The safety regulations must be exactly
adhered to. Independent of the intended use we recommend to read at first the General Description section of
each chapter in order to become familiar with the terms used in the Operator's Manual and the parts of the
device. Afterwards, depending on the requirements of the user, the sections Operating, Maintenance or
Trouble Shooting should be read. The index which is part of the Appendix contains the keywords of all
chapters and permits the rapid location of important items.

DO NOT put your hands in the radiation area unless the green light is on (shutter
closed). The orange warning light is then off.
ONLY persons trained and licensed by HEUFT Company for repair of radioactive
devices are authorised to open the measuring bridge.
X-radiation! (Fill level detection X-ray)

ONLY persons trained and licensed by HEUFT Company for the repair of X-ray
devices are authorised to open the measuring bridge on the emitter side.
Improper use of the module especially the modification of the high voltage or the
removal of protection devices may result in an increased intensity of X-radiation. A
device modified in such a way does no longer meet the approval requirements. It
is prohibited to operate such a device.
Overpressure! (rejector)
The maximum operating pressure of the compressed-air supply line to the rejector
must not exceed 10 bar.
Broken glass! (rejector)

When rejecting into a glass waste container, take care that all glass fragments of
the rejected bottles fall into the container.
Maintenance is only permitted when production is not in progress and the main
power switch is off.

Moving parts! (rejector)
Always shut off the compressed air when working in front of the rejector!
Danger from moving segments in case of conveyor movement or a power failure.

Danger by moving segments of the rejectors DELTA-FW and DELTA-K when the
supply power is switched on or off or when switching between the stand-by mode
and the operating mode.
When opening the basic control unit, take care that the front panel is moved slowly
and with manual support in order to avoid damage to the hinge mechanism.
For protection of the sonic sensor, in case of maintenance works at the device the
opening for the microphone at the measuring bridge must be closed with a
protective cap.
It is of vital importance that no water enters the lower opening of the sensor!

Safety regulations basic V3.2
Never clean the basic device with a jet of water or other liquids. Penetrating
moisture may cause damage to the electronic system.
Use the stand-by mode to switch the device on or off. Do not switch off the basic
device with the main power switch.
The basic device is wired according to the protective system TN-S Network.
Protection device
Protective plate (rejector DELTA-FW)

Noise emission
The individual HEUFT rejectors emit an equivalent continuous sound level below 85 dB(A). The customer
must avoid any inadmissible addition of noise levels when planning and installing the HEUFT devices.
EMC-protection
This device was manufactured according to the valid EMC-standards and is a class A device. It fulfils the limit
values for industrial environments and is not designed for domestic application. Any improper use or
modification of the device may cause malfunctions.

Radiation emission
Applies to the use of Gamma or X-ray fill level detections only!
The safety tests carried out by the regional authority for environmental protection and factory safety and
health control in Rhineland-Palatinate have proved the correspondence with the radiation protection
ordinance (for Gamma) and the X-ray ordinance (for X-ray). The X-ray fill level detection meets the
requirements for the qualification approval and from the radiological point of view there are no reservations
against the adequate use of the Gamma and X-ray fill level detections.
In most countries a special approval given by the governmental authorities in charge is required for the
operation of a device with a radioactive source or an X-ray generator. In some countries an additional
radiological safety officer is prescribed for the operating factory.
HEUFT SYSTEMTECHNIK GMBH support their customers by means of documents which are required for
such an approval.
In Germany, the regulations of the X-ray ordinance and the radiation protection ordinance must be strictly
adhered to!
Device designation
The exact device identification can be taken from the identification plate attached to the device.
Packaging and transport

The device will be delivered on a pallet, packed in a carton box. Move the original pack to destination by
means of a fork stacker and put it down very carefully. HEUFT service personnel will open the carton box for
the purpose of mounting and commissioning. In case of self-assembly, the especially trained personnel of the
customer will do the same. The entire packaging material can be recycled; the customer must return it to the
cycle of materials or dispose of it into the resource recovery system.
Mounting, commissioning and shutdown of the device

Mounting, commissioning and shut-down of the device will be carried out by HEUFT service or accordingly
trained customer's personnel in accordance with the corresponding Reference Handbook.

General arrangement basic V3.2
General arrangement
HEUFT basic is a modular system for monitoring the product quality in bottling lines. The application of
several detection modules and a rejector allows to eliminate faulty containers from the flow of production.
In addition, non-performing valve positions in the filler can be identified.
In order to fulfil these tasks, the system requires the function modules described on the following pages.
Through the integration in the production process, the basic standard device permits the automatic monitoring
of filling installations.
Standard device
The standard device consists of a stainless steel mount with a maximum of three integrated vertical and
horizontal adjustment devices and the control unit. Depending on the device equipment, detection modules
are mounted to the mechanical adjustment devices.
Conveyor support
For stability reasons, a conveyor support is recommended at the location of the standard device to ensure the
detection accuracy. (This part is not included in the scope of delivery!)
Only the additional pedestal for the standard device is included in the scope of delivery.
Rejector
The rejector removes faulty containers from the flow of production.
The rejector is also used to reject sample bottles for quality control purposes.
Five different rejector types are available, the diagram shows the DELTA-FW.
Rejection wedge
The rejection wedge is part of the guide rails and keeps containers on separate lanes after their rejection.
Encoder
The encoder generates pulses which correspond to a particular distance of conveyor movement.
This enables to locate the position of any container that has passed the main trigger.
Sensors in the machines (options)

Sensors installed in the filler and the labeller.
They are used for the function modules Locator and Bottle Burst.

basic V3.2
54 Operator's Manual Maintenance

basic V3.2
General
The design of the basic device keeps maintenance at a minimum level. There are almost no moving parts and
these parts move only when required for operation. The result is very little wear and tear of mechanical
components. The remaining maintenance is limited to cleaning or inspection.
Cleaning
Cleaning of basic components should be carried out at the usual maintenance intervals defined for the entire
bottling line. We recommend cleaning at weekly intervals. The degree of contamination may require other
intervals.
In general, cleaning is carried out with a damp cloth or a soft brush. All basic components are protected
against splash water but not resistant to water jets.
Never clean the device with a jet of water or other liquids. Penetrating moisture
causes damage to the electronic system.
If moisture has penetrated into the device, switch it off or leave it switched-off
until it is completely dry again.
For protection of the sonic sensor, in case of maintenance works at the device
the opening for the microphone at the measuring bridge must be closed with a
protective cap. It is of vital importance that no water enters the lower opening of
the sensor!
Inspections
Inspections are measures of planned preventive maintenance. They are necessary to detect deficiencies or
defects in due time. We recommend monthly intervals. Other intervals may be necessary depending on the
work load of an installation.
Repairs and overhauls

Maintenance is necessary when parts fail or in case of considerable wear. Only a specialist with the
corresponding technical training is able to carry out the required work. The basic Reference Handbook
contains the necessary instructions and lists of spare parts. It is recommended to use original HEUFT spare
parts when replacing a part, in order to ensure a long-term function of the device. In addition, the HEUFT
training department offers training courses at regular intervals which also deal with the replacement of parts.
When repair and overhaul cannot be carried out by the available means, the HEUFT service is available to
restore the device function on location as soon as possible The telephone and telefax numbers are listed on
page 3.

Trouble shooting procedures

The trouble shooting procedure is basically distinguished by the fact whether the basic system itself has
detected a malfunction or not. This condition is indicated by the automatic change of the front panel display to
the device status/messages menu or by the yellow or red illumination of the warning light.
In the first case the operator must read the number of the function group, the message number and the
reference number in the device status/messages menu (⇒ Device status/Messages, page 50). He must then
refer to the list of messages in the Appendix (⇒ Appendix A 1, Messages) for information regarding the cause
of the malfunction and the required corrective action.
When a fault is not displayed by a message, the cause of the malfunction must be found step by step. For this
purpose, the present chapter contains a list of typical symptoms and flow diagrams for trouble shooting. The
white boxes contain the questions to locate a fault, the grey-shaded boxes contain the instructions to be
followed.
Call a specialist
When the operator is not able to correct the fault, the flow diagrams or tables contain the instruction "Call a
specialist". This means to notify personnel that has received the corresponding technical training and is
equipped with the basic Reference Handbook. These are normally electricians or mechanics of the technical
department. In addition, the HEUFT training department offers training courses at regular intervals which also
deal with trouble shooting.
Call HEUFT service

The HEUFT service must be called when a specialist is not available or the available means are not sufficient
to correct a fault. The telephone and telefax numbers are listed on page 3.
When calling the HEUFT service, please give the following information:
» Eight-digit device number according to the type plate

» Device status and message
» Exact fault description
» Measures already taken
» Lacking spare parts etc.

DELTA-FW basic V3.2
General description
The rejector DELTA-FW guides containers in upright position from the production conveyor to another
conveyor or to a collection table.
Under normal operating conditions at a distance of 1 m and a height of 1.6 m above the floor, the rejector
noise level is less than 85 dB(A)(LAIM).
Protection device
The protection device is installed opposite to the rejector segments.
It is prohibited to remove the protection device!
Function
At the individual detection positions the system collects data for every passing container. On the basis of
these data the control unit decides whether the corresponding container is to be rejected.
The rejector only operates mechanically when upstream detection modules signal a faulty container and the
rejector receives a rejection signal from the control unit.
The rejection can be to the right or to the left.
Rejection to the left
Rejection to the right
The rejector head forms a rejection curve immediately above the conveyor along which the containers are
guided. This curve is divided into individual sections. It is the result of the different length of every single
segment. The segments are extended or retracted by pistons in pneumatically controlled high speed
cylinders.
In case of several successive faulty containers, the rejector is

only activated once and the segments remain extended until
the rejection of the last faulty container.
An encoder is used to adapt the rejector automatically to Rejector head

variable conveyor speeds. The higher the container speed the
less segments extend for the rejection process.
A photocell detects containers or other objects lying on the

Rejection curve Rejector segments
conveyor. A signal from this photocell activates the rejector
DELTA-FW which eliminates these objects from the conveyor.

DELTA-FW basic V3.2
Rejection principle
The variable extension of the segments forms an apparently moving rejection curve along which the container
to be rejected is smoothly guided.

DELTA-K basic V3.2
General description
The rejector DELTA-K guides containers or cans in upright position from the production conveyor to another
Protection device (optional)

The protection device is installed opposite to the rejector segments.
Function
The rejector only operates mechanically when upstream detection modules signal a faulty container and the
rejector receives a rejection signal from the control unit.
Rejector head Rejection curve Rejector segments
The rejector head forms a rejection curve immediately above the conveyor along which the containers are
guided. This curve is the result of the different length of every single segment. The segments are moved by
pneumatically operated high speed cylinders when the rejector receives a control signal.
The rejection can be to the right or to the left.
Rejection to the left
Rejection to the right
An optional bottom photocell detects containers or other objects lying on the conveyor. A signal from this
photocell activates the rejector DELTA-K which eliminates these objects from the conveyor.

DELTA-K basic V3.2
Rejection principle
The variable extension of the segments forms an apparently moving surface along which the container to be
rejected is smoothly rejected in upright position.

General description
The inductive closure detection checks the presence of metal closures on containers.
Function
Depending on the signal status, the control unit evaluates the signal generated by an inductive proximity
switch either as "good" or as "missing closure".
The check conditions are different for closures of bottles or cans. Due to this fact, two function modules of
different mechanical design are available:
For bottles, the proximity switch of the closure detection is installed in the centre of the trigger bridge above
the trigger lenses.
The other variant is especially designed for closure detection in fast moving can filling installations. The
sensor is mounted to a movable shaft on the measuring bridge so that the can passes the closure sensor after
it has passed the measuring bridge.

Pressure basic V3.2
General description
This closure detection module is designed for checking the concave or convex deformation of closures, which
permits conclusions regarding the pressure within a container. The module can be used to check vacuum or
overpressure.
Function
An analog proximity sensor effects a relative distance measuring. The result is independent of container
height tolerances and enables to determine the deformation of a closure and to compare it with reference
values. The control unit evaluates exceeding or not reaching the limits as a fault, counts the fault accordingly
and generates a rejection signal.
The module can also detect containers without closures or with closures inclined in moving direction, and
initiate the rejection of such containers.
Operating

Brand change
Set the vertical and horizontal adjustment devices of the measuring bridge with the crank according to the
specific values defined for the respective container program.
(⇒ Condensed Manual at the device)
Verification of the vertical adjustment

The sensor must be adjusted very accurately. Therefore, it is necessary to check the distance between sensor
and closure.

» Place a "good container" in centred position below the sensor.
» In the measured values fill level/pressure menu change to path 6 to display the analog measured value.
» Set the height of the measuring bridge so that the displayed analog measured value is coincident with the
value defined for this container program (Table ⇒ Condensed Manual).

Pressure basic V3.2

In order to optimise the pressure detection it may in some cases be necessary to change the entered limit
value. For this purpose the operator can temporarily change the limit values in order to influence the results.
Menu Type of measured value Measured value Change of limit value
3 52 00
A positive result of a measured value signifies a "good container". In case of a negative result, the system
counts and rejects the container as faulty. The higher the displayed value the larger is the deviation above or
below the limit value.
The deviation from the limit value can be entered with values ranging between - 99 and + 99.
Change of limit values
» Change to the measured values fill level/pressure menu.
» Use the keys to select the type of measured value.

» Use the keys to change the limit value (⇒ Example).
The system only maintains the change of the limit value until the next program
change or device switch-off. After that the change of the limit value is reset to
zero.
A permanent change of the limit value can only be carried out by a specialist
using the basic Reference Handbook.

The values for change can be entered by using the specified keys. The entry of
positive values increases the limit value, negative values decrease the limit

During the change the value is flashing in the display. The system automatically
accepts the value two seconds after the input and the display returns to a steady
indication.
Displayed new measured value: 67, displayed change: - 15

Foil (optional)

Foil basic V3.2
General description
The closure detection checks the presence of foils with diffuse reflection characteristics on containers.
Function
The closure detection - foil has the same function principle as a label detection at the conveyor.
The detection is effected by reflecting sensors installed inclined toward the container axis. The evaluation is
based on the different reflection characteristics of foil and container surface.
Even glass reflects according to the principle angle of incidence = angle of reflection. Foils reflect diffusely in
all directions so that sufficient light is reflected from the foils back to the sensors.
Sensors are installed on a measuring bridge at the control unit for every foil to be checked. All sensors are
aligned in such a way that the light beam hits the corresponding foil at an angle of about 30°.
Sensor alignment
The measuring bridge must be adjusted according to the container size so that the light beam is aligned to the
following position on the foil:

sonic basic V3.2
General description
The closure detection HEUFT sonic checks containers for incorrectly placed crown corks or twist-off closures
(so-called "bullnoses"). Leaking containers are also detected if the container is normally under pressure at the
detection position, e.g. after the pasteuriser.
Function
The module excites the oscillation of a closure by hitting it with an electromagnetic pulse and analyses the
acoustic response signal from the closure. The pitch of the excited closure is dependent on its bulging or its
tension as a function of container inside pressure.
The evaluation software obtains the characteristic values from the signal and compares the result with the
programmable limit values. This permits the detection of faulty containers which will be rejected from the
stream of good containers.
Operating

Brand change
The containers must pass through the centre of the measuring bridge and must
NOT touch the bridge.
Requirements for optimum measuring
• Adjust the sensor in centred position and at the prescribed height above a closure.
• The conveyor operation must be without vibrations.

HF basic V3.2
General description
Fill level detection for non-metal containers filled with products filled with water-based products, preferably
soft drinks and beer.
The measuring bridge detects underfilled and overfilled containers.
Function
Every passing container changes the electric field of the measuring bridge in a definite form. Positive or
negative fill level deviations are detected as an influence on the electric field. The amount of the influence is a
direct measure for the real fill level. After a comparison between the currently measured values and the
programmed fill level limit values, the basic control unit decides whether a container is underfilled or overfilled.
The high frequency measuring bridge is available in two variants:
HF-measuring bridge KT HF-measuring bridge LT
The "good fill level" and the container shape are the determining factors for the application of a particular
variant.

HF basic V3.2
Operating

The fill level detection module is switched on and off together with the control unit.
The fill level detection requires a short stabilisation phase. In order to achieve the
optimum measurement accuracy, the device must be switched on at least 5
minutes before production starts.
Use the stand-by mode for short production breaks.
(⇒ Switching to the stand-by mode, page 43)

Gamma basic V3.2
Gamma (optional)

Gamma basic V3.2
General description
The Gamma fill level detection checks the fill level in containers in order to detect underfills or overfills.
Function
The measuring bridge consists of an emitter and a receiver. The emitter is a radioactive radiation source
emitting gamma rays. The receiver mounted at the opposite side of the measuring bridge receives the
radiation.
When a container enters the area of the radiation beam it absorbs part of the emitted gamma radiation.
Containers with a correct fill level or underfilled containers have a different absorption. The basic control unit
converts the difference between the received pulse rate and the pulse rate of a correctly filled container into a
good - bad decision.
Radioactivity!
DO NOT put your hands in the radiation area unless the green light is on
(shutter closed). The orange light is then off.
For operator safety the emitter is equipped with a shutter. The shutter is always closed when the device is
switched-off. During operation, it can at any time be closed by manual switches so that there is no danger for
operators during maintenance or changeovers. The shutter can also be closed automatically when there are
larger gaps in the stream of production containers. The shutter status is displayed by a two-colour light which
can be seen from a distance.

Radiation source Receiver
The operation of a device with a radioactive source requires in most countries a special permission by the
appropriate governmental authorities. In some countries an additional radiological safety officer is prescribed
for the operating factory.

X-Ray basic V3.2
X-Ray (optional)
Receiver Emitter
X-ray measuring bridge

X-Ray basic V3.2
General description
The fill level detection with X-radiation measures the fill level in all kinds of containers (e.g. cans, bottles,
metallised glass containers or plastic containers). The containers can be filled with liquids that consist mainly
of water, but also with substances containing little or no water (e.g. oil, instant soups, powder), or substances
that are filled into liquids, such as canned vegetables.
X-radiation!
NEVER place your hands in the radiation area when the detection module is
activated (orange warning light is on). The shutter is open in this case and the
emitter is continuously emitting radiation.
ONLY persons trained and licensed by HEUFT Company for the repair of X-ray
devices are authorised to open the measuring bridge on the emitter side.
Improper use of the module especially the modification of the high voltage or the
removal of protection devices may result in an increased intensity of X-radiation.
A device modified in such a way does no longer meet the approval requirements.
It is prohibited to operate such a device.
One shutter switch is installed on each side of the conveyor.

This switch has the positions "0" and "1".
0 = Radiation area closed

1 = Radiation area open
This ensures that the operator has always access to one of them when it is required to deactivate the tube.
The X-ray tube can only be started when both switches are in the "1" position.
Radiation is only emitted when
— the detection module is switched-on,

— the conveyor is in operation,
— containers are passing the measuring bridge.
When the detection is switched off, the radiation window is closed by a shutter and the green light is on.
For safety reasons switch-off has priority over switch-on. If one of the switches is in position "0", the shutter
remains closed and the detection is inoperative.

X-Ray basic V3.2
Function
The measuring bridge consists of an emitter and a receiver. The emitter is an X-ray generator emitting X-rays
which are entered into the receiver. The receiver mounted at the opposite side of the measuring bridge
receives the radiation.
The emitter is a radiation source which emits a cone-shaped radiation area when the detection is in the
switched-on condition. A container passing this radiation area absorbs radiation. The absorption varies
according to fill level. The receiver installed at the opposite side of the measuring bridge measures the
absorption rate and the standard device compares it with the entered threshold values. The system detects
faulty containers by considerably deviating measuring results and controls their rejection.
Shutter
Radiation source
Receiver
Collimator
Safety concept
Screening of the X-ray tube
The X-ray tube is installed in a massive metal casing which reduces the transmission through the casing to
values below 10 µSv/h (measured at a distance of 10 cm from the device limit). The complete tube structure is
integrated into a measuring bridge casing made of V2A steel which reduces the transmission through the
casing even more. Radiation can only exit the casing in one direction and is limited to a narrow angular area
by a collimator.
Checking the radiation emission

Excitation of the X-ray tube
The electrically operated X-ray tube is normally not in operation.

In order to start the emission of cathode rays which are required to generate X-radiation, the 24 V power
supply must be released purposefully. Therefore, a failure of the control electronics leads always to a cut of
the supply voltage and the subsequent seizure of radiation.
Additional protection is provided by an electromagnetically operated shutter which can close the exit where
the radiation emits from the tube casing. This shutter is normally closed. When required, it can be held open
by means of a coil which is controlled by 24 V. A failure of the power supply causes the automatic closure of
the tube exit because the shutter is no longer electrically held and gravity reinforced by a spring will
immediately close the radiation source.

X-Ray basic V3.2
The control software opens the shutter only when necessary, i.e. when the fill level detection module requires
radiation. As the production containers are passing through the measuring bridge with little distance between
each other, it is not possible to put one's hands in the area subject to radiation without disturbing the container
flow. Every gap in the container flow, whether caused by the operator or for other reasons, will lead to the
closure of the radiation area after a short time. If there is, for example, a gap in the flow of production
containers, which is indicated by the fact that there is no triggering of a new container during a certain time of
container movement, the shutter will be closed and will only be opened again when a new container arrives.
The shutter will also be closed in case of a conveyor stop. This measure ensures that containers standing in
the radiation area are not exposed to excessive radiation, and that operators clearing the conveyor section in
case of a conveyor stop are not endangered.
Display of the tube status
Two display lights attached to the device indicate the status of the X-ray tube. A green light is on when the
radiation exit is closed with the shutter and there is no danger, an orange light signals that the tube is in
operation and is emitting radiation. Within the safety circuit, the function that closes the radiation exit is linked
to the function of the orange light. A possible failure of the light will immediately close the tube. Operation of
the tube can only be resumed after repair of the light.
Two warning signs located on both sides of the measuring bridge in the immediate vicinity of the radiation
area point out to the characteristics of the X-ray source and the dangers evolving from its use.
Release of the X-ray tube
Generally, the X-ray tube can only be started when two manual switches signal a safety status. The switches
are connected in series so that always both of them must be in the switched-on condition in order to release
the tube. The manual switches are mounted on both sides of the conveyor in the immediate vicinity of the
measuring bridge. This ensures that the operator has always access to one of them when it is required to
deactivate the tube. This status remains until the operator releases again the corresponding switch.
Safety regulations
Most countries require a special permission by the appropriate governmental authorities for the operation of a
device with an X-ray source. In some countries an additional radiological safety officer is prescribed for the
operating factory.
On request, HEUFT SYSTEMTECHNIK GMBH will provide the customer with

the required documentation to obtain the licence.
The requirements and safety regulations laid down by the competent

authority and in the directives for X-radiation protection as well as the
country specific regulations when the device is operated outside of
Germany must be strictly adhered to.

General description
The locator permits monitoring the individual filler valves and identifying non-performing valves in the filler.
Function
A special procedure permits tracking every container that has passed the fill level detection back to the
corresponding filler valve. The basic control unit allocates every filling process to a particular valve.
As in practice, a false filling does not necessarily mean a defective filler valve, the registered false fillings are
compared against the correct fillings.
The incorrect fillings are evaluated against the correct fillings in a ratio of 16:1 (a counter is increased by 16
with every incorrect filling, the counter is decreased by one with every correctly filled container; i.e. 16 good
containers eliminate one fault). The system emits an output signal when the counter value is higher than the
programmed maximum number of serial faults x 16.
The front panel also enables to select a display which indicates the 10 worst non-performing valves causing
underfills and overfills. The display shows the valve numbers and the percentage of these valves in
comparison to the respective fill level counters.
This fault evaluation enables preventive maintenance, e.g. the replacement of non-performing valves.

General description
The Bottle Burst check module detects burst containers in the filler and activates the rejection of containers
bearing the risk of containing glass fragments.
Precautionary rejection of bottles filled in the area of the burst bottle in order to avoid the passing of bottles
containing glass fragments into the stream of production.
Function
Two proximity switches are installed in the filler. The first one registers all bottles entering the filler, the second
all bottles leaving the filler. When the entry sensor ("container presence") registers a container which is not
seen at the exit sensor ("Bottle Burst"), this container must have burst in the filler. According to the
programming (X containers for Y filler rounds), the rejector rejects these containers regardless of whether
they are faulty or not.
During three revolutions a certain number of containers is rejected. Two options are available for selection (⇒

Function
When the Bottle Burst check module has signalled a burst container, all containers to be rejected according to
the programming will be underfilled. For this purpose, a potential-free signal is transmitted to the filler which in
turn closes the corresponding valves.
The module also emits a potential-free signal to activate the shower.

(gushes of water after the priming area or shower for the appropriate spraying of valves between infeed and
outfeed starwheel).
In the machine round within which the burst occurred, the shower signal is available for a period of seven

General description
The serial fault detection generates a stop pulse for the labeller when successive label faults occur. This quick
reaction prevents the production of a large number of containers without a label.
Function
Every missing label at a container increases a counter in the basic control unit (only one fault per container
will be evaluated). The faults are evaluated in a ratio of 16:1 as against good containers (the counter will be
increased by 16 in case of a fault, it will be decreased by 1 in case of a good container; i.e. 16 good containers
will eliminate one fault). The system emits a stop signal when the counter value exceeds the programmed
maximum number of serial faults x 16.

Main Trigger basic V3.2
Main Trigger

General description
The main trigger is used for the initial identification of containers on the conveyor. The signal generated by this
trigger is used for the exact determination of container positions prior to passing the basic detection modules.
The measuring bridge with the main trigger is installed above the conveyor at the first measuring bridge
position in moving direction.
Function
During the internal processing, the basic control unit tracks the container position in the entire check area by
counting the conveyor cycle pulses (⇒ Encoder, page 203).
The basic system creates an internal electronic data sheet for every detected container when it receives the
signal from the main trigger. Every detection module enters the check result "good" or "faulty" for the
respective container in the data sheet. The data sheet is evaluated at the end of the basic check area and the
container is either counted as good container or rejected as faulty container. After that the electronic data
sheet will be erased internally.
In the section between the trigger activation and the rejector, the containers must not position slip on the
conveyor nor change their speed in regard to the conveyor in any other way.
In case of basic devices equipped with a closure detection (option) the respective sensor is also installed at
the trigger bridge.
Operating

The main trigger is switched on and off together with the control unit

Additional Trigger basic V3.2
Additional Trigger (optional)

General description
The additional trigger is used for the repositioning of containers in case of larger conveyor distances.
The additional triggers are installed at the conveyor.
As a result of curves or crossovers between conveyors the containers must not be shifted in forward direction
at all and not in backward direction by more than one half container diameter. In order to compensate for such
shifting, the position of containers is determined by a photocell and then compared with the internal system
data. If necessary the system data will be updated with the actual container position.
The distance between the additional trigger and the succeeding rejector must be at least 200 mm. The
containers must not position slip in the section between the rejector and the reject verification trigger.

Operating

The additional trigger is switched on and off together with the control unit

Trigger, Reject Verification basic V3.2
Trigger, Reject Verification (optional)

General description
The reject verification checks the correct device function. The trigger measuring bridge for the reject
verification is installed at the conveyor immediately after the rejector by means of a clamp.
The rejection of a container creates a gap in the flow of good containers so that the reject verification trigger
does not generate a signal for this particular container. The presence of a trigger signal indicates that a faulty
container was not rejected and causes the immediate generation of a fault signal in order to avoid that the
faulty container remains in the production flow.
The containers must not position slip in the section between the rejector and the reject verification trigger.
Operating

The reject verification trigger is switched-on or off together with the control unit

General description
In case of product changes, the parameter data sets for every production container can be changed by
selecting the desired program by means of an external signal source.
Function
During commissioning the specific parameters regarding installation, container and detection criteria are
configured for every container and product type. Each complete set of parameters is then programmed as
control program. Four individual signal lines permit the specific selection and activation of all 16 available sets
of program data in a coded form. The activation can be initiated by any customer device (e.g. SPC,
operational data logging or similar devices) in form of a potential-free signal.
Operating

Brand change
External signals automatically switch to the brands with the data sets of the production containers.
The brand change option via the front panel is blocked with this option.

Display of the device status

The readiness for operation of the device is displayed as device status. The device status is the result
obtained from the states of the individual function groups and corresponds always to the highest status. If the
warning light is part of the device, it also indicates the device status (⇒ Signal - Warning Light (optional), page
219).
» Change to the device status/messages menu .

On the front panel the basic device displays the device status (Path I):
Menu Path Device status States of individual function groups
I 2 20I0
Function group "detection modules"
Function group "device monitoring"
Function group "signals"
Function group "control unit"
As long as the basic device operates without external or internal faults the device status "0" is valid and the
optional warning light is ”green”. If individual detection modules signal a malfunction which does not endanger
the production process, the status "I" is valid and the warning light is ”yellow”. If the basic device is disturbed
in a way that the monitoring of the production is no longer possible, the status switches to "2" and the optional
warning light is ”red”.
Device status Warning light (optional)
0 Normal production green
I Limited device function yellow
2 Device function disturbed red
In the path I not only the device status is displayed but also the states of the four function groups control unit,
signals, device monitoring and detections.
Device status 2: Device function disturbed, red

warning light status.
I 2 20I0 States of individual function groups:
Example:
Function group detections = red (2),
Function group device monitoring = green (0)
Function group signals = yellow (I)
Function group control unit = green (0)
The function group detections has the highest

status (2). The device status corresponds to the
highest status.
If the device status is increased (from 0 to I, from I to 2, or from 0 to 2), the menu device status / messages
appears automatically on the front panel, provided that the device is at the operator level.
