WARNINGS

4

1) Switch off the power supply box and the yarn accumulator before
starting any part connection, maintenance or replacement.

2) During standard machine operation, the yarn accumulator may
suddenly start up without prior warning.
CAUTION: the orange lights do not signal that the yarn accumulator
is ON, but that the accumulator has gone into an alarm mode.
Therefore, during standard operation they should be OFF.

3) Before yarn accumulator start-up, inspect it physically for
damage (moving parts).

4) Strictly avoid touching any moving part during accumulator
operation

5) Due to the high accuracy and sensitivity of the tension sensor,
mobile or cordless phones might interfere with it. Operation of
the device and the sensor is not affected. In any case, to avoid
interference, we recommend that you keep a minimum distance
of 3 metres.

6) Only use the original L.G.L. Electronics spare parts and
accessories.

7) Any repairs to the accumulator’s electronic parts must be
performed by appropriately qualified personnel, regularly
authorised by L.G.L. Electronics accordingly.

8) Yarn accumulators that are moved from warehouse storage into
a warmer weaving mill environment may develop condensation;
please wait until they are completely dry before connecting them
up. Failure to do so may damage the electronic components.

WARNINGS

TIPS TO KEEP THE YARN ACCUMULATOR IN GOOD WORKING ORDER
AND EXTEND ITS SERVICE LIFE.

For you to achieve and maintain a satisfactory performance of the yarn
accumulator over the years, we suggest you should follow some simple steps:

1. Yarn accumulators that are moved from warehouse storage into a warmer
weaving mill environment may develop condensation; please wait until
they are completely dry before connecting them up. Failure to do so may
damage the electronic components.

2. Water and moisture are harmful to the yarn accumulator’s electronics.
Keeping the yarn accumulator operating for long periods of time in very
humid environments (humidity greater than 80%) or using wires
impregnated with water may quickly result in damages to electronic cards.
Moreover, never clean the yarn accumulator with water or similar liquids.

3. Machines working in very dusty environments require greater
maintenance. A clean workplace clean can prevent residual dust or dirt
from negatively affecting machine performance by stressing its moving
parts. The latter are protected, anyway dust accumulation might result in
hindered movement and, hence, early wear.

4. We recommend that you store yarn accumulators that are not used for
long periods of time in the appropriate polystyrene boxes, which
guarantee optimum storage conditions.

5. When the yarn accumulator is being threaded, used the appropriate yarn
taker. Do not use other tools, especially metal ones.

1.2 CONTROL BUTTONS

“ ” Enter button

The Enter button is used to access the reference tension programming
function and the sub-menus and confirm an entry.
The purpose of the button depends on the menu you are in.
Moreover, this button enables you to:

− reinstate the device when it is in the yarn winding (or threading) state
“WAIT:YarnWinding”;

− turn on the device when it stands in the “SPIN OFF state”;

− put the device in the self-resetting yarn winding/threading state
“WAIT:YarnWinding” (see chapter 3.1). Keep this button pressed for about
1 second.

“ ” Escape Button

The Escape button is used to cancel an alarm (if the alarm displayed can be
cancelled), exit submenus and quit a value editing page.
The purpose of this button depends on the menu you are in. Moreover, this
button allows you to:

− reinstate the device when it is in the yarn threading state
“WAIT:YarnWinding”;

− switch off the device by holding this button pressed for about 5 seconds
(complete switch-off “SPIN OFF”);

pressed for about 1 second.

“ ” Button

This button is used to scroll menus and submenus upwards. Moreover, it is
used to increase values in data entry/edit sessions.
If it is held pressed while a datum is being edited in the programming mode,
the value will go up quickly.
This button is also used to reinstate the device when it is in the yarn
threading state “WAIT:YarnWinding”.

Tasto “ ”

This button is used to scroll menus and submenus downwards. Moreover, it
is used to decrease values in data entry/edit sessions.
If it is held pressed while a datum is being edited in the programming mode,
the value will go down quickly.
This button is also used to reinstate the device when it is in the yarn
threading state “WAIT:YarnWinding”.

While entering/editing parameters which may have a very large range of
values, the increase/decrease step can be changed by simultaneously
pressing the buttons “+” and “-”.

2.1 YARN ACCUMULATOR INSTALLATION

N.B.: Yarn accumulators that are moved from warehouse storage into
a warmer weaving mill environment may develop condensation; please
wait until they are completely dry before connecting them up.
Failure to do so may damage the electronic components.

For installation of the yarn accumulator onto the machine, proceed as follows:

FLAT CABLE VERSION

1. Place the flat cable onto the support ring and fix it by means of straps.

The text “LGL Electronics” on the cable must be on the right reading
side; the flat cable lip shall be turned downwards.

Keep flat cable with top
portion facing ring profile.

N.B.: The support ring shall be sized as follows:

- height not less than 25mm

- max. thickness 10 mm
