7.12.2 Bobbin thread monitoring using stitch counting
Function with or without control panel
Bobbin thread monitor On/Off
Number of bobbin thread monitor stitches
For bobbin thread monitor operation a number of stitches depending on the length of the bobbin thread has
been preset using parameter 031. After the execution of these stitches the drive stops and a visual signal
appears on the display. If a control panel is connected, an acoustic signal is also issued if parameter 127is set
accordingly. This signals that the bobbin thread will run out. After pressing the pedal again, the seam can be
continued and the thread can be trimmed. After inserting a full bobbin and pressing the enter key, a new sewing
operation can be started.
Enable bobbin thread monitor:
Select parameter 030 = 1...3.
Input the desired maximum number of stitches in parameter 031 (input value x 100 = number of stitches,
e. g. 80 x 100 = 8000).
For starting the counter set the A or B key at ""19" using parameter 293 or .294.
When using a control panel, an acoustic signal can also be enabled using parameter 127.
Start the sewing operation.
