(FM8/10) and the survey of the breakup of needles hook (AG-14). It is composes of: an electronic main unit AGF2 or AGF2B with display and keyboard, to which the other parts are • connected directly:...

The magnetic sensor points out the conclusion of a turn to the main unit . The microcontroller in the principal unit handles to count, to memorize and to verify the number of present needles in two turns of the textile machine (two turns to increase tolerance ). When the device individualizes some needles with the broken hook it points out on the display the number and stops the loom.
The keys '+', '- ', they serve for planning the data in the various visualizations or pages (delay arrest • needle, password...). The key 'C' on AGF2 and the key 'J' on AGF2B serve for planning the data in the various • visualizations or pages (delay arrest needle, password...).
Magnetic Sensor and permanent Magnet: Install the sensor on a firm part of the machine, in protected position from the bumps. Position the magnet on a rotating part in such position to activate the sensor to every turn of the loom. The distance between sensor and magnet has to be around 4 mm.
Optical heads: The optic heads (probes) must be set with a lot of care in proximity of the head of the needles, and once individualized the positioning (see underlying figure) their support must be held to avoid moves during the workmanship. The head of the probe must be placed so that it surmount the head of the needle to a distance that depends on the type of used head: For heads produced before 2007 the distance it has to be among 1,5 and 2,5mm.
Use of the main unit. The instrument (device) is endowed with various pages that allow to plan all the necessary parameters for a correct operation. The various pages are flowed in sequence using the special key 'Page' having the sketch of the pages. Here following the description of the various pages, where the pages can be recognized from the writing on the superior line of the display.

Page Description Memory= It points out the number of needles memorized for each head. For every head or probe it show her own number of needles to count and verify. This page serves only to read such number (you cannot modify it here, but then in other pages).

Page Description NEEDLE JUMP In this page it is possible to specify the duration of the jump of needle that LENGHT ... effects after received the signal by the magnet. During such jump the control of the fabric is suspended, so that possible lacks of needles foreseen in the fabric doesn't cause a block.
Foreman password The password foreman serves to limit the access to the configuration pages of the device. If the password is trained then the initial page is always on top while to visualize the other pages the password is required. To specify and to train the password, act as it follows: 1.
Install of the main unit 1. Choose a position for the main unit that is firm and visible. Unscrew the two screw placed on the sides, and separate the front panel of the device from the hull in black metal, making slip downward the front panel .
3. Connect the optic needle scanner to the main unit. Power on and go to chapters about regulation of the device and memorization of reference data. Instructions for the assemblage of the optic head 1. The optic head has a black plastic front with a transparent window, as visible in the following image, and a plastic cork on the back.
Memorization of reference data The main unit counts the present needles in two turns of the loom and compares them with the memorized datum, this for every probe or connected optic head. To memorize the correct number of needles it is necessary to use the keyboard and the display of the main unit so that to access the special pages of installation heads.
Regular operation and stop of the production The block of the machine happens if the device notices for two couples of consecutive turns a greater difference of 1 among the number of counted needles and the data saved in memory. The device counts and verifies the needles regardless of any operation that is performing through keyboard , except in the following cases: 1.
