1.3 T4000 SSV-X Fill_xr Level Inspection System
The T4000 stand-alone fill height inspection Sensor (T4000 SSV-X) Fill_xr is designed for the
inspection of fill height in a variety of containers. This model allows for mounting of the X-ray
head assembly over the inspection conveyor. The 0.9 meter (3 ft) tripod stand makes
installation easy. The X-ray sensor comes standard with a 4.5 meter (15 ft.) quick disconnect
water-proof cable. The X-ray lamp on sensor indicates when the X-ray module is transmitting.

2.0 Safety Precautions
2.1 General Safety Precautions
Please refer to the following safety instructions before and during operation of the system:
Only personnel trained in machine operations must operate the system.
Internal maintenance should only be performed by personnel specifically trained on the
system.
CAUTIONS!
PERSONAL INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE MAY RESULT IF THE FOLLOWING
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS ARE NOT OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES.
Do not operate the system with the enclosure open. Always turn power and air
supply OFF before opening the enclosure.
Do not disconnect any electrical connections when the system power is on.
Damage to electrical components may occur.
Use lockout/tag-out equipment to prevent injury or damage when servicing the unit.
Before connecting an external device, power down both the TapTone system and the
external device. After power is off, connect device then turn power on.
The internal electronics of this equipment are sensitive to electrostatic discharge
(ESD) and proper precautions must be adhered to when handling any electrical
components of the system.
Do not place radial or axial load on the shaft encoder when mounting to the conveyor.
Internal damage to the encoder disk will occur.
Avoid high pressure spray with aggressive cleaning solvents on components like the
photo triggers, lamps and touch screen display.

2.2 Specific Cautions and Warnings
WARNINGS! PERSONAL INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE MAY RESULT IF THE
FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS ARE NOT OBSERVED AT ALL
TIMES.
Do not operate the system with the safety guards open. Failure to do so may cause
severe injury.
Keep hands clear of the rejector ram, conveyor belts and inspection bridges whenever
the system is in operation.
Do not operate this equipment with long hair or baggy loose clothing. Serious injury
may occur if it gets caught in any moving parts.
WARNING! - Keep hands clear of X-ray tunnel when X-ray lamp is on. X-ray energy is
transmitting when the X-ray lamp is ON.
WARNING! - This X-ray system MUST NOT be operated without the tunnel safety
shields installed.

2.4 System Lockout / Tag-out Procedure
NOTICE! – Technicians MUST use a Lockout / Tag-out pad lock on each system
power switch whenever service is required
DANGER! – Never remove a pad-lock that was placed on the system by someone
else. Other technicians may be doing service to the system at the same time.
1. Turn the system main power switch to the OFF (0) position for both the inspection
electronics enclosure and the compression belt motor control enclosure.
2. Place a pad-lock through one of the three switch lock loops on both of the power
switches. A maximum of three pad-locks may be place on each switch.
3. Remove your pad-lock once your service is complete to resume normal operations. Do
not remove any other pad-locks that may be place on the system by other technicians as
they may be performing a different service procedure.
