IS3 Sensors Features
The IS3 electronic sensors are capable of detecting, thanks to a patented and
advanced control technology, the image variation of a moving yarn under control;
it can show with absolute certainty the actual movement or stop condition of the
yarn. The technique based on image variation (Image Smart Scanning Sensor),
makes the IS3 sensor exempt from the influence of environment/yarn conditions:
i.e. humidity, conductivity and machine vibrations. It does not require any physical
contact with the yarn under control and therefore it allows a perfect monitoring
without affecting the tension features of the yarn itself, in any way.
The IS3 devices are the most reliable and advanced solution for yarn control on
textile machines.
IS3 is fully programmable for an easy adaptation to the control of any type of
yarn/application.
Optical interface of IS3 sensors
The IS3 sensors have two signaling lights (green LED, red LED) and a “Touch
Light” optical button.
During the automatic numbering of the sensors (flashing green LED), touch the
optical button to give the sensor the number shown in the devices configuration
screen.
Interpretation of the sensor signaling lights
Green LED ON Normal operation, the yarn is running inside the sensor;
No technical fault detected by the sensor.
Red LED ON Yarn stopped.
Green LED FLASHING The system is in automatic numbering phase.
Red LED FLASHING
During machine operation the sensor has detected a
fault.
(BROKE: broken yarn - UNCUT: uncutted yarn).
Green LED ON
Red LED ON
Stopped sensor. Switch off, then switch on the system. If
the condition is permanent, replace the sensor.
Green LED FLASHING
Red LED FLASHING
Indicates a technical fault in the sensor(e.g. a loss of
stored data). Try to reprogram the sensor. If the fault
remains, replace the sensor.
