    3 - START-UP AND THREADING 3.1 OFFSET Once installed on the machine, connected to the power supply box and fed with current, the accumulator appears to be ON. WARNING: Before performing the OFFSET calibration, ensure the accumulator is at a steady temperature. We suggest you go through the cell reset procedure 15 minutes after power on.
  • Page 29 3 - START-UP AND THREADING In cases when the offset calibration procedure is not successful, the led will blink and the message “ERR” will be displayed instead of “OK”. In this case, ensure the yarn does not come into contact with the cell and that there is no residual dirt left around the cell ceramic, then try and repeat the offset procedure.

  • Page 39 4 - SETTING THE OPERATING PARAMETERS 4.2.8 “LC- Length Count” “LC- Length Count” counts the amount of wire that has been consumed by the feeder. A value in metres is set which corresponds to the yarn length at the end of which the device has to stop (indicating a machine STOP). As soon as this value is set, the feeder will start measuring the amount of wire it consumes.

  • Page 49 4 - SETTING THE OPERATING PARAMETERS This menu is used to perform the zero (or Offset) calibration of the mea- suring cell. Depending on the position the SPIN has on the machine, the ZERO point of the measuring cell may vary due to the actual weight of the cell. To reset the cell weight, the zero calibration needs to be performed.
  • Page 50 4 - SETTING THE OPERATING PARAMETERS 4.2.13.1 “DeviceIDsetting” ID = SPIN identification address. It is needed by the SPIN for serial commu- nication with the outside world. This value can be set from 1 to 254. This address is automatically set by the SPIN if connected to the LGL box or to the flat cable terminal clamp with included numbers.

In cases when such Error Codes appear on the display unit, please contact LGL Customer Service.
  • Page 57 6 - MESSAGES AND ALARMS Moreover, the conditions that actuate this alarm also depend on the settings of the “AO-Adv.Options” parameter (see chapter 4.2.8). 6.2.2 Motor Alarms When these alarms are actuated, the SPIN will immediately power OFF the motor. They can only be reset by switching off the device (see chapter 5). If the cause that actuated the alarm has not been removed upon turning on the unit again, the alarm will be actuated again.
  • Page 58 6 - MESSAGES AND ALARMS 6.2.4 Power Down Alarm The *POWER DOWN* alarm is actuated when the device power supply falls below a threshold value which does not guarantee flawless system operation any longer. In this state, the SPIN will immediately switch off the motor and store the operating parameters in the permanent flash memory.

    8 - SCRAPPING 8. SCRAPPING If you decide to scrap the machine, you need to destroy/erase all machine identification plates and related documents. If disposal is assigned to an external party, always resort to organizations duly authorized to recovery and/or disposal of the demolition materials. If you perform the disposal on your own, you need to divide the material by type and instruct authorized organizations to dispose of them according to the various waste categories.
