Induct Forward value is used to cause the MDR to continue to run after the zone’s photo-sensor has been blocked when receiving a carton from upstream.
| This value is adjustable per zone to compensate for special conditions when for example a zone’s photo-sensor needs to be placed farther upstream from the discharge end of the zone |
