17.9 Calibrating electrical thread tension
Sequence
Prerequisite: A thread scale is present and the calibration takes place with
a thread with yarn strength 120.
Calibration points
The following three calibration points must be set for the needle and looper
threads:
• Point 3 - Maximum tension (300 g)
• Point 2 - Medium tension (150 g)
• Point 1 - Minimum tension (5 g)
Calibration steps, needle thread
1. Set calibration point 3
1. Thread the thread up to the thread lever ( Operating Instructions,
2. Thread the thread after the thread lever into the thread scale.
3. Switch on the machine.
4. Select the menu Service > Service Calibrations > Thread
5. Measure the tension value. It must be 300 g.
