AND YARN CONSUMPTION KIT
4.2 INSTALLATION OF THE YARN CONSUMPTION KIT
This kit enables display in the relative page on the machine screen, of the
simultaneous yarn consumption for all the feeds put together, expressed in
centimetres per machine rows.
The kit comprises a set of numbered T-connectors with the relative
connection cables. If the machine is not equipped to display yarn
consumption, LGL provides a small yarn consumption display kit (POCKET),
with an appropriate adapter cable. The kit displays a read-off of the actual
yarn consumption in centimetres (or inch) per no. of machine rows if the
machine provides a synchronisation signal. Alternatively it also displays the
cm (or inch) / sec value, to be set through the Pocket.
Installation:
Plug the T-connector into the serial communication port and carefully check
to see that the number on the connector corresponds with the machine-feed
number.
Using its appropriate screw (36) fix the connector (35) to the outer feeder
housing. If not already connected, connect up the relative cables as shown
in figure 2. below. Connect the cable leading from the first feeder up to the
machine.
