Controls Operating elements of the S2 control panel The control panel is used to create and alter seam programs, enter parameter values and read error messages and service settings. The control panel consists of display 1 and the function keys described below. Display 1 consists of a two-row, alpha-numerical display with 16 symbols per row.

Controls Start backtacks If this key is pressed, the backtacks at the beginning of the seam (start backtacks) are switched on or off. The number of forward stitches (A) or reverse stitches (B) for the start backtacks can be changed by pressing the +/- key underneath. To convert from double backtack to single backtack set the number of stitches for the corresponding seam section at zero.

Controls Programmed stop (only in programmed sewing) If this key is pressed the corresponding function is switched on or off. When the function is switched on, in programmed sewing the machine stops automatically at the end of the seam section. Photocell In manual sewing the number of compensating stitches from the point where the photocell is light to the end of the seam can be set under parameter 111, and in...
Controls Entering the start and end backtacks Switch on the machine. By pressing the corresponding +/- key ("A") select the desired value for the number of forward stitches (A) of the start backtack. By pressing the corresponding +/- key ("B") select the desired value for the number of reverse stitches (B) of the start backtack.
Controls Setting the stitch count function for controlling the amount of bobbin thread Switch on the machine. Press the TE/Speed key twice to call up the parameter input function. Select the parameter "760" by pressing the corresponding +/- key. Press the corresponding +/- key to set the number of remaining stitches, which can still be sewn after recognition by the bobbin thread control function.
Sewing Sewing In the sewing mode, all relevant settings for the sewing operation are shown on the display and can be altered directly. Functions can be switched on or off by pressing a key. In this mode a difference is made between manual sewing and programmed sewing. To change from manual to programmed sewing, press the PM key.
Sewing Programmed sewing In programmed sewing 99 programs, each with 9 seam segments and 999 stitches, can be programmed. The seam segments can be programmed by entering the number of stitches or by using the "Teach" function (sewing a seam segment). Fixed programs are used for the quick and convenient production of seams with a different number of stitches.
Sewing An example of programmed sewing Programming by entering the number of stitches .03.01 seam segment 1 seam segment 4 program 1 seam segment 2 seam segment 3 Example: Seam segment 1, 20 stitches, Functions: Start backtacks, programmed stop and raising foot at the end of the seam, Seam segment 2, 10 stitches, Functions: Programmed stop and raising foot at the end of the seam, Seam segment 3, 20 stitches,...

Sewing TEACH With the corresponding +/- key, select the seam segment "1". Press the programmed stop key to switch on the function. By pressing the raise foot after seam segment key, switch on the function. Sew seam segment "1". TEACH The number of stitches is shown on the display.
Page 17
Sewing TEACH With the corresponding +/- key, select the seam segment "3". Press the programmed stop key to switch on the function. By pressing the raise foot after seam segment key, switch on the function. Press the thread trimming key to switch on the function. The program end is recognized automatically through the thread trimming function.
Sewing Error messages If a fault occurs, the text "ERROR" appears on the display, together with an error code and short instructions. An error message is caused by incorrect settings, faulty elements or seam programs as well as by overload conditions. The error code numbers are explained below.
Sewing Parameter settings Selecting the user level .06.01 (only in the "manual sewing" mode) Switch on the machine. Press the TE/Speed key twice to call up the parameter input function. Call up the parameter group "700" by pressing the corresponding +/- key. Call up parameter "798"...
Sewing Selecting and altering parameters .06.02 (only in the "manual sewing" mode) Switch on the machine. Press the TE/Speed key twice to call up the parameter input function. By pressing the corresponding +/- key, select the parameter, e.g. "660" for bobbin thread monitoring.
Adjustment Adjustment Hardware-test The hardware test is a test program, which makes it possible, with the aid of the control panel, to check various components of the control system and the machine installation. The test consists of seven test blocks. Carrying out the hardware test 01.01 Switch on the machine.
