FULL CALIBRATE?

+WORKING DRY+:

This message indicates that the product has so little moisture content
that it produces no product signal, and therefore the detector has chosen
to set the compensation to minimise the effects of vibration (ie. the
working mode of detection has automatically been set to DRY).

+BAD PACK+:

The threshold which the machine is calculating for this product is
exceeding the maximum threshold (set in the Manual Setup menu). This
would typically be because the calibrate pack is contaminated or is too
conductive for the maximum threshold setting. Check that the calibrate
pack(s) is representative of production packs (eg. for frozen product, the
calibrate pack must be frozen). If in doubt, call your nearest LOMA
Service Centre.

+POWER R

Indicates that the unit is reducing the head power to account for the
product effect of the product.

+HEAD :

Indicates that the unit is using the HEAD POWER value from manual
setup menu, rather than determining it itself, as the head power has been
locked in that menu.

+MODE :

Indicates that the unit is using the working mode from the Manual Setup
menu rather than determining it itself, as the working mode has been
locked in that menu.

+DRY :

Indicates that the product has little product signal, and therefore the
wrong mode of working may have been locked.

Notes:

See also Update Calibration and Manual Setup.

Whilst the full calibration cycle takes place, the metal detector will not attempt to check for any metal
contamination (the Run Detect LED will go out).

This command appears both in the Calibration and Product Setup menus.

If reject out of run has been selected in the User Options menu and a PEC is fitted, all packs will be
rejected during the calibrate cycle.
