Don’t insert other items into the machine, or it may get fire. Attention Make sure the installation direction is correct. Attention Don't expose the machine to humidity gas, corrosive gas, water, and other flammable material. Matters for Attention on Cable Connection Forbidden Don't test the insulation of the circuit loop. Forbidden Never try to connect the overloaded electronic device on the connectors (like sockets or terminals). Attention The insulation condition of each cable (no matter signal cable or power cable) should be ensured. Attention The signal cables and power cables should be separated. Never tie them together. Attention All the cables should be well fixed. Don’t put any strength on cables. Make sure each turning point of cable is well protected. Add shelter pipes to increase insulating capability if necessary. Attention Machine should be grounded reliably. The resistance should be smaller than 10 . Matters for Attention on Operation Danger Don't operate the machine when there is any damage on the shelter of the running parts. Forbidden When machine is running, do not touch any running part. Attention Make sure the configuration of power supply is in normal. Use stabilized voltage power supply when the change of voltage is beyond the range of -10%~10%. Attention In case of warning, please check out the problem. Operation can only be carried out again when problem is solved. Attention The power supply switch has over-current protection function. If the over-current switch is activated, the switch can only be closed after 3 minutes. 2 Owner ’s Manual of BECS- A15 Computerized Control System C Chapter 1 Geneeral Inforrmation Matterss for Attenttion on Maiintenance and a Inspecttion Warninng If you y need too open the machine co over, pleasee cut off thee power sup pply at firstt.

Multi-Taskk Parallel Operation O annd Free Shifft among Taasks Duuring the em mbroidery, actions a like pattern inp put & outpuut, preparatiion for the following patternss and modifi fication of parameters p c be carrieed out. can 5. Storage off Frequentlyy Used Paraameters and Color-Channging Orderr for Each Pattern P Patttern will be b saved allong with its parameteers, color-cchanging orrders and needle n bar colors. System cann save the opperational details d for each e patternn. Users cann set parameeters for a Owner’s Manual M of BECS- A15 Computerized Controll System 3 Chapter 1 General Information pattern during the embroidery process of the previous pattern, which will save time and improve efficiency. Moreover, it is one basis to realize network management. 6. Pattern Input/Output via USB Customers can use USB disk for data transfer. USB disk supports DIR operation, which is easy for pattern management. For each directory, system supports operation of 400 patterns or sub-directory. There is no limitation of directory levels. Patterns in the formats of Binary, Ternary and Z-nary can be loaded. 7. Patch Embroidery This function can set a patch point at the position of color code or stop code, and when the machine embroiders to the patch point, it will halt and move out frame for patching. After sticking a patch, user would press the start key to return the frame and continue embroidering. 8. Brake Adjustment User can adjust the parameter of brake to let the main shaft stop at the correct position according to the characters of his own machines. 9. Save Start Point This function can save the start point of each pattern, which saves the work of user to search the start point manually at embroidering the identical pattern. 10. Mechanical Maintainence and Debugging This function is to easily judge the malfunctions at maintaining and debugging the machine, such as encoder testing, main shaft speed testing, machine parts testing and the main shaft stopping at any position, etc. 11. Multi-Language Support Currently, the system only supports Chinese and English; Arabic, Spanish, Turkish, Russian, Portuguese, French and many other languages are under developing. 12. Pattern Output Patterns can be output and saved into USB disk. Adoption of TAJIMA’s binary format enjoys the advantage of data transmitting through the World Wide Web (other formats may not be transmitted directly). 4 Owner ’s Manual of BECS- A15 Computerized Control System C Chapter 1 13.

For thread taake-up sprinng type, it detects d the th hread-breakkage by seaarching conn nection of take-up spring and contact poiint. When thhread break ks, the springg will closee to the conttact point. In norm mal condition, this deteccting type is i sensitive to the face thread breaakage, but can c hardly detect bobbin b threead run-out.. In case you y change the embroidery threaad, or threaad tension Owner’s Manual M of BECS- A15 Computerized Controll System 19 C Chapter 2 Emb broidery Guide G changes, you need to adjust spring s presssure betweeen the takee-up spring and contacct point. When the spring preessure is tooo large, theere will be False Alarm m; when thee spring preessure is too smalll, there will be Missingg Alarm. For thhread windding wheel type, t it judgges thread-b breakage byy detecting the windin ng wheel angle. It is very seensitive in case c of facce thread brreakage; inn most casees of bobbin n thread run-out, the consum mption of faace thread will w reduce, as a result,, system wiill judge by statistic method and a send ouut warning. Though it can c almost avoid Falsee Positive, iit is not as sensitive s as the sprring-type. For the t mixed type t method, the two can compllement eachh other witth their adv vantages, which results in senssitive and sttabilized deetecting effeect. 2.7 Woorking Sttatus Theere are threee working sttatuses: 1.

U Usually, cycllic embroiddery should accompany y repetition embroideryy and speciaally made patternns, and thee parameterr “Auto Orrigin” should be also set as “Yees”. Thus when w the machinne is embrooidering thee back fabriic, the frontt one can be b replaced.. After emb broidering the pattternsated patterns, the frame will automatically return too the start pooint and thee machine will auutomaticallyy embroiderr the front fabric again n and at thhis time it’s possible fo or user to replacee the back one. o 5.2.2..

Thus this fuunction can help the machinery m p parts to worrk better with w the com mputer. Thee function dependds on the paarameters “S Set Brake Para”. P “S Set Brake Para” P is to adjust the stop s positio on of the main m shaft. W When the main m shaft often stops s at the position beelow 100 deegree, the usser can increase the parrameter value. When the maain shaft oftten stops at the positionn over 100 degree, d the user can deecrease the parameter p value. Thus the user u can adjust the valuue to let thee main shafft stop closee to 100 degree. The value can c be set between b 0 annd 30.
