Wiring and Grounding

We must prepare the system grounding project, a qualified electrical engineer is requested for the construction. Product is energized and ready for use; you must ensure that the power outlet the AC input is securely grounded. The grounding wire is yellow and green lines, it must be connected to the grid and reliable security protection on the ground to ensure safe use, and prevent abnormal situation.

warning All power lines, signal lines, ground lines, wiring not to be pressed into other objects or excessive distortion, to ensure safe use!

Error mode

If the error code appears, please check the following items first:

  1. Make sure the machine has been connected correctly;
  2. the control box match with the machine head.
  3. Confirm factory reset is accurate
Error Code Description Solution
Err - 01 Hardware overcurrent Turn off the power switch, and restart after 30 seconds. If the controller still does not work, please replace it and inform the manufacturer.
Err - 03 Under-voltage Disconnect the power to the controller; check the input power supply voltage is low or not (less than 176V). If the power supply voltage is low, please start the controller after recovers the voltage. If the controller still does not work, please inform the manufacturer and replace the controller.
Err - 04 Over-voltage when the machine is off Disconnect the controller power and check if the input voltage is too high (higher than 264V). If yes, please restart the controller when the normal voltage is resumed. If the controller still does not work when the voltage is at normal level, please replace the controller and inform the manufacturer.
Err - 05 Over-voltage in operation
Err - 06 Solenoid circuit fault Turn off the system power. Check carefully, if the solenoid connection is loose or damage, please change it in time. Then restart the system after confirmation, if it still does not work, please inform the manufacturer and replace the controller.
Err - 07 Motor current measuring failure Turn off the system power, restart after 30 seconds to see if it works well. If such failure happens frequently, seek technical support.
Err - 08 Sewing motor blocked Turn off the system power. Check whether the motor power input plug is off, loose or broken, or there is something tangled on the machine head. Please make them correct then restart the system. If it still does not work, please inform the manufacturer and replace the controller.
Err - 10 Communication failure Check carefully, if the connection between the control panel and controller is off, loose, or broken, please make it correct then restart the system, if it still does not work, please inform the manufacturer and replace the controller.
Err - 11 Machine head needle positioning failure Check if the connection line between machine head synchronizer and controller is loose or not, restore it and restart the system. If it still does not work, please replace the controller and inform the manufacturer.
Err - 12 Initial motor electrical angle failure
  • Try 2 to 3 more times after power down
  • if it still does not work, please replace the controller and inform the manufacturer.
Err - 13 Motor HALL failure Turn off the system power, check if the motor sensor plug is loose or dropped off, restore it and restart the system. If it still does not work, please replace the controller and inform the manufacturer.
Err - 14 DSP Read/Write EEPROM failure Turn off the system power, restart the system after 30 seconds, if it still does not work, please replace the controller and inform the manufacturer.
Err - 15 Motor over-speed protection
Err - 16 Motor reversion
Err - 17 HMI Read/Write EEPROM failure
Err - 18 Motor overload
Err - 20 Oil shortage alarm The system detects that the oil quantity has fallen below the normal level and exceeded the set time, alarm alert.
Err - 23 Motor blocked encoder failure Turn off the system power. Check whether the motor power input plug is off, loose or broken, or there is something tangled on the machine head. Please make them correct then restart the system. If it still does not work, please inform the manufacturer and replace the controller.
Err - 24 Bobbin detection alarm Check if the bobbin is sufficient. If the bobbin is sufficient while the error still exists, please replace the controller and notify the manufacturer.
Err - 26 Thread end detection alarm Restart after clearing the thread end. If it still fails to work properly, please replace the controller and notify the manufacturer.
Err - 30 Password lock shutdown alarm If continued use is required when the set time for machine use is up, please contact your local service provider.

Pedal sensitivity adjustment

See Fig. 4-1
Pedal movement starts from the initial position (p.136) where the motor stops, slowly stepped forward to the low speed point (p.137) where the motor runs at the minimum speed (p.100), proceeding to the accelerated point (p.138) where the motor start fasten, until the max speed point (p.139) where the motor run up to the maximum speed (p.101). And when the pedal steps back to the foot lifter position (p.135), the automatic presser foot lifting. Continuing back to the auto trimming position (p.134), thread trimming is completed automatic. The parameter value is set for an assurance (No. 134 parameters) < (No. 135 parameter) <( No. 136 parameters) <( No. 137 parameters) <( No. 138 parameters) <( No. 139 parameters). Adjusting the corresponding parameters, user can acquire the proper pedal response to fit the personal habit.
