2.2. Operating the FLEX
The
FLEX
is easy to use. The display gives instructions and recycling information to the customer.
The display screen changes color: It is green when the machine is ready to accept containers and
red when the customer should not insert containers.
2.2.1. Usage
When a customer approaches the machine with a used beverage container:
1.
The customer places the container into the In-Feed with the bar code facing upwards.
2.
The conveyor moves the container into the machine.
3.
As the container passes below the scanners, the scanners read the bar code.
4.
While moving along the conveyor belts, a
PET
sensor determines if the
container is
PET
plastic, and a metal sensor determines if the container is an
aluminum or steel can.
5.
If the
RVM
rejects the container, the conveyor reverses to return the
container to the customer. It displays a message instructing the customer to
remove the container and gives the reason for rejection. The following are
reasons for rejection:
•
•
•
•
The
FLEX
does not accept that type of container. For example, a
machine that only accepts
PET
will not accept glass.
•
•
•
•
The scanner cannot read the bar code, because the container is damaged
or does not have a bar code.
•
•
•
•
The bar code is readable but not in the
RVM
’s database of acceptable
containers.
•
•
•
•
If the user inserted more than one container at a time, the
RVM
rejects
the containers.
