The label or product sensor is calibrated at the factory and will function without adjustment for the majority of applications. However certain applications may require adjusting sensor parameters to achieve maximum performance. Follow the instructions below to calibrate the sensor as required.
1 This illustration shows the sensor, label and liner relationship as viewed from the side. The sensor
components consist of an upper emitter 1 and a lower receiver 2. The sensor is calibrated to detect the gap or space 3 between labels on the liner 4.
2 This illustration shows the sensor prole. The sensor prole is a graphic representation of what
the sensor “sees” as the media passes through it. The wavy line 5 is the sensor value when the sensor is seeing the label and liner and the spike 6 is the sensor value when the label sees the label gap or liner only. The graph 7 represents numerical values of what the sensor might
see. The values range from 0 to 255. Where 0 is a completely opaque material and 255 is a completely transparent material.
A software algorithm is used to determine the actual value required to indicate wether the sensor is seeing a label or gap. In some applications this value may need to be adjusted manually. Follow the instructions on the following pages to determine and set the Sensor No Product Value.

6. Performance of System and Product Samples.
6.1 Acceptance Criteria of System Performance. The acceptance testing shall be conducted in two (2) phases, as set forth below:
6.1.1 Phase One Acceptance Testing. Prior to shipping the equipment from the Multifeeder Technology, Inc. facility to the place of delivery, MFT will conduct a system performance test mutually-agreed upon with the Buyer and reduced to a writing signed by both Parties. Buyer may, at its option, witness the Phase One Acceptance Test in person or by electronic means supplied by MFT. If the Parties do not agree upon an a specific test, the Parties agree that MFT will conduct a 30-minute test demonstrating 90% uptime, after excluding any lost time or lost production due to Nonconforming Product Samples (defined in section 3.3 of Exhibit A and all related subsections) or other factors out of MFT’s control. MFT reserves the right to restart or continue the test until completed, or to abbreviate the test by discounting lost time or lost production due to Nonconforming Product Samples or other factors out of MFT’s control. It is Buyer’s responsibility to supply an adequate amount of acceptable quality test product pursuant to ¶ 6.2 below. MFT bears no responsibility if Buyer fails to provide Product Samples to MFT.
6.1.2 Phase Two Acceptance Testing. After completion of delivery of the System, assembly, and training at the place-of-delivery, MFT personnel will conduct a second test to confirm the System’s performance (“Phase Two Acceptance Testing”). The Phase Two Acceptance Testing will be conducted using the same Product Samples and performance criteria specified for the Phase One Testing. If the Phase One performance criteria are met during the Phase Two Acceptance Testing, the Parties agree that the System shall be deemed accepted.
6.2 Acceptance of All Other Goods. For any other goods that are not subject to paragraphs 6.1.1 – 6.1.2, Buyer will have ten (10) days after receipt to reject nonconforming goods before such goods are deemed accepted by Buyer.

6.3 Product Samples. Seller requires Buyer to supply Product Samples to MFT prior to MFT’s submission of a Proposal to Buyer, and in sufficient quantities to (a) evaluate Product Samples for consistency in structure and form, and (b) design the System Specifications to process the Product Samples provided. The projected System performance, as presented in the Proposal, is valid only for Product Samples provided to Seller prior to the date of the Proposal. Buyer must also supply to Seller actual Product Samples to the same specification as those provided prior to the MFT Proposal, so that MFT may conduct Acceptance Testing of the System, as set forth above in paragraphs 6.1.1-6.1.2. MFT will estimate and advise Buyer of the quantity of Product Samples MFT requires. If not otherwise specified by MFT, MFT requires a stack of each Product Sample, approximately 25 inches high, for testing any System that is composed of feeders. If automatic product loaders are to be tested, a minimum of 5,000 samples are required. Product Samples should be shipped at Buyer’s cost to Seller no later than ten (10) days after Seller’s acceptance of Buyer’s Order. Product Samples will not be returned. Seller does not guarantee feeding performance of any specific product unless an exact Product Sample has been tested before delivery of the System to Buyer. LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY To activate the warranty, Buyer must sign and return to MFT (a) the Proposal and (b) fully completed warranty registration cards, which Buyer will receive with the System. Seller warrants to Buyer, for a period of one year from the date of delivery of the System to Buyer or for 2000 operating hours, whichever occurs first, that the System or Accessory Product(s) will be free from defects in material and workmanship. An extension of this Limited Warranty is available for an additional charge. OTHER THAN THE FOREGOING, NO WARR ANTY OR GUARANTEE, WHETHER STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE IS MADE. THE EXPRESS WARRANTY SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY BY THE BUYER HEREUNDER FOR ANY SYSTEM OR ACCESSORY PRODUCTS DELIVERED TO THE BUYER WHICH ARE FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE IN ANY MANNER, WHETHER SUCH REMEDIES BE IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR BY LAW. OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH HEREIN, SELLER SHALL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE BE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE HOWSOEVER ARISING FROM SUCH MERCHANDISE, INCLUDING LOST USE, LOST PRODUCT, LOST REVENUE, LOST PROFITS, COST OF CAPITAL, OR SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES.
