11.CHANGING SPECIAL FUNCTION AND USING THE MEMORY SWITCHES Memory switches (10 - 1F)

Switch No.

 

When ON

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

memo-10

Milling device can be used (available as an option)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

memo-11

Bobbin thread counter and production counter are adjusted when thread is trimmed.

 

 

 

 

 

Work clamp is lowered by pressing work clamp first stage switch twice, without using work clamp

memo-12

second stage switch. When DIP switch A-2 is ON, work clamp lowers in the order right

left;

 

when OFF, work clamp lowers in the order left

right. Order is opposite when rising.

 

 

 

When work clamp is lowered, the starting switch causes locking; if the switch is released before

memo-13

locking, the work clamp rises

 

 

 

 

 

When DIP switch A - 2 is ON, work clamp lowers in the order right

left; when OFF, work clamp

 

 

lowers in the order left

right. Order is opposite when rising

 

 

 

memo-14

Needle up error detected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

memo-15

ON when machine is equipped with signal tower indicator. (This indicator is available by special

order.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

memo-16

ON when machine is equipped with thread nipper. (Thread nipper is available by special order.)

 

 

 

 

memo-17

ON when machine is equipped with reset switch. (Reset switch is available by special order.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Starting switch causes work clamp to drop in order right

left

forward control is in the same

memo-18

order as starting, and for backward control the work clamp rises in the order left

right using

work clamp first stage switch (when DIP switch A-2 is ON). When OFF, the left and right orders are

 

 

reversed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

memo-19

Produces two work clamp signal outputs (right and left work clamp) so that a two-position air valve

can be used. (Two-position air valve is available by special order.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When using a triple pedal (DIP switch B-7 is also ON), the right is used exclusively to detect the

memo-1A

home position. If DIP switch A-7 is OFF, the left pedal causes left and right work clamps to be raised

and lowered simultaneously. If ON, the left pedal causes the left work clamp to be raised and

 

 

lowered, and the right work clamp lowers when starting pedal to sew.

 

 

 

memo-1b

KE430C single foot pedal can be used. DIP switch A-7 is ON.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

memo-1c

Bobbin thread counter is decremented at the start of sewing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

memo-1d

When using an air pressure drop detection switch. (This detection switch is available by special

order.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

memo-1E

Changes the split number automatically by using an external switch. (Use option connector P3 on

the operation panel.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

memo-1F

Program number is changed automatically by using outside switch. (Use optional connector P3 on

the operation panel.)
