  • Page 7: Chapter 1 - Overview

    Special Features of SMART CLEARER system The SMART CLEARER system has a set of unique features which make it a true microcomputer dedicated to the yarn quality control. SMART CLEARER is a fully parametric system; this means that for each type of defect the use can freely define the desired parametric values.

  • Page 8: General Features Of Smart Systems

    The system allows connecting up to 200 yarn quality control sensors of the ISSC.. series. Easy Monitoring Besides the information shown on graphical display of SMART CLEARER, each ISSC.. sensor has a red LED that, when flashing, indicates the type of fault detected.

  • Page 9: Chapter 2 -Technical Data And Installation

    10° - 50 °C Installation The installation of the SMART CLEARER system depends on the type of application and on the number of sensors to be connected. When the number of sensors is limited, it is possible to connect them directly to the SMART terminal, otherwise it is necessary to use a stabilized power supply PSU 10A.
