Special Features of SMART 200 TTS system The SMART 200 TTS system has a set of unique features which make it a true microcomputer dedicated to the yarn quality control.
The system allows connecting up to 200 yarn quality control sensors of the IS3W/TTS series. Easy Monitoring Besides the information shown on graphical display of SMART 200 TTS, each IS3W/TTS sensor has a red LED that, when flashing, indicates the type of fault detected.
10° - 60 °C Installation The installation of the SMART 200 TTS 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 stabilised power supply PSU 10A.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance Ordinary Maintenance The SMART 200 TTS system does not require special maintenance interventions. Although it is important to periodically clean the sensors and the terminal according to the environment conditions in which the system operates. The IS3W/TTS Sensors are equipped with a function of automatic compensation, which allows the detection features to remain unaffected even when some traces of dirt are present.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance Updating the Software Version on SMART Terminals The software updating on BTSR SMART terminals is a relatively easy operation. However it must be carried out following scrupulously the instructions given in this manual and using the indicated tools to avoid damaging the equipment and/or microprocessor contacts.
