S/Z Adjustment luna X3, Chrono X3, XDX3 Switch off the feeder. On feeders with S-flex, the S-flex must be detached for making the S/Z adjustment. See page 32 (Flex-brake mounting). Grip the winding disc and, whilst pressing the orange button on the front of the spool body, rotate the disc until the button is felt to locate.

Grip the winding disc (1) and, whilst pressing the orange button on the front of the spool body (2), rotate the disc until the button is felt to locate. Aligning the mark on the winding disc with the line on the motor house gives the zero separation position.

Sensor adjustment luna X3, Chrono X3, XD X3, XD X2 Optical sensors Certain yarn types may stick to, or leave deposits on, the sensor mirror. In such cases the clearance between the yarn and the mirror can be increased. Adjust the clearance by rotating the mirror 180 degrees.
Sensor adjustment hD X2 The mechanical sensors are placed on the fixed part of the spool body. The sensor (1) controls MAX reserve level, and the sen- sor (2) controls MIN reserve level. The force needed to press down the sensors is control- led by a spring, and it is adjustable with screw (3).
Assembly instructions After disassembling, it is necessary to install the spool-body part by part to avoid damaging the parts. Secure the bellow properly with plastic straps (1). Be sure that the carrier pin fits into the keygroove in the motor shaft (2). Insert the two screws for the rubber bellows (3) and be sure they are properly tightened with the correct key.

Tensioners: Brush/Flex brake Alternative for hD X2 This brake is particularly suitable for rapier looms which require a constant braking tension during the weft inser- tion. It is also suggested with jute and monofilament. It is not recommended when flat yarns are woven. nOTe each brake is suitable for both yarn twist (S or Z).

Tensioners: Funnel Alternative for hD X2 Suitable for heavy yarns which create large balloons. Sug- gested for polypropylene flat tape on projectile looms. nOTe There is no braking function on the yarn when the funnel is installed since it is used only to control the balloon effect during the yarn taking-off.
