Description
This is caused by the piston moving during a color change when the piston is held at the bottom of the can for cleaning. In the event that the cleaning solvent and air pressure overcome the piston air pressure, then this alarm will occur.
Remedy
Perform a scale calibration to insure that the calculated value for the Can Empty Check Counts is valid. Increase the Fill Error Tolerance. Verify that the piston pressure is not being restricted.
