INSTALLATION General Instructions Attention – Make sure cables are not jammed, bent or stretched. – Keep cables away from hot surfaces. – Route cables in existing cable channels. If no cable channel is available, fix with cable ties to the ma- chine’s stationary parts and avoid moving parts to touch cables.
INSTALLATION Power Cable Connect the + and - wires correctly to the Power connector of the SCU. Connect the + and - wires correctly to the Power connector on panel of Rieter. Use pin 10 and 0 on power panel of Rieter, check to connect +/- to the right pin.
INSTALLATION LAN Bus to SE Parts: 1 x cable A500582 Plug on cable in the SCU SE Bus connector and route the cable in the cable channel to the first SE Board (there are different options; use existing cable guides and avoid near contact to frequency changer). LAN to SCU LAN to First SE End Stock...

Connections Cables from the SE to Rieter section controller 1. Connect the + and - wires correctly to the power connector. 2. Insert the CAN-bus cable and tighten. 3. Connect the earth wire to the earth stud. 4. Insert the LAN, Power and CAN Cable into the channel right to the Rieter section controller (use the free holes above the section controller).
INSTALLATION Installing and Connecting Detectors Parts: detectors A905263100 (basic) or A905263000 (full) with cables A5008452 (2 m) 1. Before you dismount old sensor: Remember the distance of old clamp and Rieter fixing parts. 2. Mount the SH on the Rieter clamp with the screw and the washer (Figure 1).
Next table lists the settings to be done. Enter the system or user password when it is requested. The system password is known by Rieter and Loepfe installers only. The default user password is “123”. Save settings by pressing OK or...
Hardware Locks LOEPFE YM 3N1 has a built-in diagnostic function. Technical problems are indicated by means of hardware locks. Hardware locks can be cancelled by means of the unlock card, from the SCU or with button on sensing head. Since hardware failures of this kind can have several influences on yarn quality, they should be corrected and reset by qualified personnel only.
