1. GENERAL INFORMATION Super Elf S3 description SUPER ELF S3 is a Weft Feeder with yarn separation and direct CAN-bus communication with the Loom Control. The new Permanent Magnet motor and the Reserve sensor allow very fast reaction and accurate yarn storage control on the spool body. The new Reflective type optical sensors guarantee robustness and best performances in dust environments and with very fine yarns.
Storage detection with an integrated photocell (Reflective system). o Robust and reliable new Reflective sensors system. o Input Weft breakage control through a photocell integrated in the Super Elf S3, or through external TFE8 weft Stop Motion device. o Weft length adjustment, by setting the spool body diameter and the number of coils to be released at each insertion.
SUPER ELF S3 – Dornier 2. SETTING AND CONTROL ELEMENTS Front Control elements FUNCTION BUTTON It activates the Electromagnet and allows the following operations: a- Weft reserve removal. b- New weft reserve loading. c- Release of only one coil when the weft reserve is already on the Spool Body.
SUPER ELF S3 – Dornier Back panel control elements CONNECTION OF AIR LINE INPUT CONNECTION OF AIR LINE FOR FULL AIR THREADING Full air threading is possible only in combination with Funnel. If the feeder is fitted with eyelet holder, or without any balloon control, this connection must be closed with relevant plug that it is supplied with the feeder.
SUPER ELF S3 – Dornier 3. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION Voltage Supply Box and Weft Feeder installation 1. Fix the Voltage Supply Box to the Stand by means of the proper brackets. Note: Minimum distance from the Box to the floor must be 20 cm. (see fig.1) 2.
OFF, make sure that the Pulsar fork is free to move, then switch the loom back ON. 3. According to the woven article, adjust the functioning parameters of Super Elf S3, which can be set on DORNIER loom Dialog panel (see picture below).
SUPER ELF S3 – Dornier Insertion length To set the number of coils (windings) to be released by the Feeder at each pick. • Possible setting: 2 -> 16. • Recommended setting: see note Note: the setting “Insertion Length” is dependent on the “Reed width” parameter which is under the “Weft Insertion”...
SUPER ELF S3 – Dornier Off - Automatic position control deactivated 0 - Automatic position control activated with lower reserve storage 1 - Automatic position control activated with standard reserve storage 2 - Automatic position control activated with maximum reserve storage (the take-off point is nearby the stopper pin) •...

SUPER ELF S3 – Dornier • Recommended setting: 2 it gives a low reduction of the end insertion tension peek. (The yarn speed reduction at the arrival is very low). 3 it gives a good reduction of the end insertion tension peek. (The yarn speed reduction at the arrival is low).
SUPER ELF S3 – Dornier Filling Draw back This parameter allows to enable or disable the yarn filling draw back after yarn cut. It is also possible to choose how large angle to use to pull the yarn back. • Possible setting:...

Note: Set OFF in case of short picks (one coil less) with irregular insertion times. Double yarn sensor Controls the yarn break by means of an external sensor (Roj PIEZO sensor TFE6). This is normally used in case of multiple weft insertions, i.e. when there is more than one yarn used with one feeder.
Filling tensioner menu. The Stopper electromagnet is also activated. Photocells automatic calibration The Super Elf S3 is fitted with an automatic photocells calibration system, which is needed when replacing the feeder circuit board or one of the sensors groups. Proceed as follows: 1.
SUPER ELF S3 – Dornier Weft length adjustment The diameter of the Weft Feeder Spool Body must be set according to the indication shown on the loom Dialog panel display. Proceed as follows: 1. Loosen the screw B and raise the Photocells/Electromagnet Group. Fix it.
SUPER ELF S3 – Dornier Winding direction and coils pitch adjustment The winding direction (S or Z) must be adjusted according to the yarn twist. Correspondence is needed between the motor electric setting and the mechanical one of the Spool Body.
SUPER ELF S3 – Dornier Reserve loading (Full threading, only with funnel) 1. Press the start push-button 1 on the side of the feeder for more than 3 seconds: the Electromagnet pin goes up and the Winding Disc automatically moves to the threading position.
5. TROUBLESHOOTING Description All error messages from Super Elf S3 are shown on the display of Loom Dialog panel. Note: Details to fault analysis and fault repair are possible to find in the Dornier Documentation "Dialog Panel Ergo Weave" in chapter 4 "Messages"...
