The green lead wire on the power plug is the grounding conductor. Always connect it for safety's sake
andtopreventreceivinganelectricshock.
Cautions For Use
●Only needles, pins and other articles made of iron (Ferromagnetic materials) can be detected.
Weakly magnetic articles such as those of stainless steel and non-magnetic articles can not be detected.
Always use articles made of iron
●Use metal buttons, fasteners, hooks and other garment fastenings and accessories that have been treated
previously for detection support, that is, Needle Care (NC) products. (See page 12)
●Before and after needle detecting work, always check and adjust the sensitivity of the Detector with the
attached test pieces by the specified method.
●Detection sensitivity of needles, broken needles and iron pieces differs with their size, quality, passing
height and direction. Use the Detector after surely checking with actual articles.
●A strong magnetic field is being generated from the detection unit. Clocks and watches, diskettes,
credit cards, etc. may go out of use because of the magnetic field, so be sure to keep them away from
the Detector.

１．APPLICATIONS AND FEATURES
APPLICATIONS
This Detector is for detecting needles straying in sewn garments such as women's, children's and men's clothings,
uniforms, working clothes, etc. Pay particular attention to the following points.
CAUTIONS
●Use detection support type accessories, that is, Needle Care (NC) products. (See Page 12).
●Make sure at the design stage that such garment accessories as iron and electrolytic nickel-plated articles
that react to the Detector will not be used.
●Always use iron needles and pins (ferromagnetic materials: those that will be strongly attracted to
permanent magnets) for sewing and other work. Stainless steel and other non-magnetic metals can
not be detected.
SENSITIVITY AA : Broken sewing machine needle
(Equal to broken tips of Industrial sewing machine needle No.7 to 9.)
B : Iron‑made standard marking pin (φ0.6×L33 mm)
FEATURES
A. Broken sewing machine needles and iron-made marking pins etc. can be detected by only placing sewn
garments on the conveyer belt. When any needles are detected, the conveyer belt will stop automatically.
B. It is efficient because straying needles can be inspected under the condition of only 1 sheet but also bundled
and packed sheets.
C. As the detection area is tunnel shape, the difference of the detecting sensitivity by the thickness of the objects
to bo inspected is very few.
Straying needles can be detected at each sensitivity as follows.
Sensitivity AA : Broken sewing machine needle
(Equal to broken tips of Industrial sewing machine needle No.7 to 9.)
B : Iron-made standard marking pin (φ0.6×L33 mm)
D. The sign to commence the detecting work can be recognized visually by providing with the LED while
standing by, the detector can be used simply and conveniently.

２．INSTALLATION OF THE DETECTOR
PREPARATION
1. Selection of Location・Notices
1‑1 Measures against Vibration
Choose a place indoors that has no vibration. A concrete floor gives the best results.
When the Detector has to be placed on a wooden floor, first place thick plywood, etc.
(example,10to15mmthickconcretepanels)onthefloor to prevent direct transmission of any vibration.
This usually suffices to make the Detector serviceable, although the best thing to do
would be to reinforce the wooden floor against vibration.
1‑2 Effect of Metallic Products and Machinery
There should be no metallic desks, chairs, lockers, building pillars, reinforcing bars and other metallic
objects within 1 meter from the detection unit. Also, keep air-conditioners, sewing machines, cutters,
packing machines and other moving metallic objects at least 4 meters away.
Detector may react when through near needle detecting part holding metal materials such as scissors,
stapler and so on inside a pocket of apron etc.
1‑3 Electric Wave Interference
Keep cellular phone, machines and devices that let off sparks, high-frequency wrapping machines, and other
machines that could interfere with the normal operation of the Detector asfaras10metersormoreaway.
Also avoid places near roads and rails on which cars and electric trains travel.
1‑4 Ambient Conditions
Select a place where is at normal temperature, little humidity and dust etc.
1‑5 Influence on Others
A strong magnetic field is generated from the detection unit. Clocks and watches, diskettes,
credit cards, etc. may go out of use, so be sure to keep them away from the Detector.

‑5‑
2. Power Source
Use a exclusive power source for the Detector.
Wire (or pipe) the power source to a 100V/220V AC receptacle equipped with
a grounding terminal. The receptacle should have a breaker that is independent
from other machines.
Always connect the green grounding terminal of the power source plug
of the Detector to the receptacle.
Dust adhered to the prongs of the power source plug could be
the cause of fire, so wipe them clean.
INSTALLATION
1. Cautions for moving the Detector
After unpacking the Detector, move it to its place of
installation with the casters provided for that purpose.
Donotpushorpullontheplasticguides
① and roller covers ② on both ends as
theyareliabletobedamaged.
2. Securing method
Adjust the nuts of the four levelling bolts with a spanner so
that the wheels of casters are clear of the floor by about 5mm
each. Refer to the right figure.
The detector may malfunction unless the four
levelling bolts are in full contact with the floor.
3. Cleaning
As small pieces of metal may be sticking to the surface and/or reverse side of the belt, joints and rollers as a
result of handling and transporting the Detector, clean those parts carefully with a vacuum cleaner and
a clean piece of cloth.
For safety's sake, be sure to unplug the Detector when doing the cleaning.

‑6‑
4. Adjusting Level
The conveyer belt has been adjusted for tension and meander on a level floor before the detector is shipped.
Therefore, if the belt meanders to one side, the cause is that the floor is inclined or that the levelling bolts
have been improperly adjusted, so adjust those as follows.
＊Note that adjusting may take many attempts and several hours to accomplish.
4‑1 Gradually raise the two levelling bolts on the guide side
to which the belt has shifted or lower the levelling bolts
on the opposite side. (See 2. Securing Method on Page 5)
4‑2 As this adjustment can mostly be done with these four
levelling bolts, go about the job patiently.
4‑3 When adjustment by the above procedure is difficult,
adjust by turning clockwise a little at a time the tension
adjusting bolt on the side to which the belt shifts.
5. Confirming workings of the control unit
If the conveyer belt travels properly, carry out the following checks.
5‑1 Change the sensitivity push button switch on the control panel to AA, turn the sensitivity adjusting knob to
7to ▲ mark (8), and then make the conveyer belt travel by pressing the power source key and the
conveyer key ON.
5‑2 Walk around the Detector checking how the detection level LED go on to see how much vibration there is.
※If all the detection level LED go on, the buzzer sounds and the conveyer belt stops, it means there is too
much vibration from the floor, so reinforce the floor.
(See1-1onPage4)
6. Confirming workings of the emergency stop buttons (Option)
Emergency stop buttons are located at the entrance and at the exit of the conveyer. Check their operation.
6‑1 Press either one and, all power sources are shut off.
6‑2 When make the Detector restart, press the emergency
stop button once again and press the power source key
on the control panel.

※So as to not to lose the test pieces, tie a piece of string
about 1 meter long to each and tie the other end near the
detection unit.
②Detecting ability differs somewhat depending on the height
at which a left-over needle passes through the Detector. As
the part around the center of the height is the area of the
lowest sensitivity, set the sensitivity with the test pieces using
the area of the lowest sensitivity as the basis.

※ To set sensitivity, see 3 & 5 on Page 9, 1 on Page 10 and 2-1 on Page 13
●Relationship of Detecting Sensitivity to Steel Balls(Iron Balls)
The detecting sensitivities of this Detector have been set on the basis of steel balls (iron balls) which provide
the most stable detection. Sensitivity should properly be set on the basis of needles, but since needles come
in all sorts of types, thicknesses, lengths and sizes, which cause different signals to be sent out depending on
the position and direction in which they pass through the Detector, they cannot be used as standards.
Therefore, always use the Detector after first confirming what sort of size will be detected by testing with
actual needles of various sizes.
●NC Products(Detection Support Type Accessories)
Front hooks, fasteners, buttons and other garment accessories made of metal which do not react at all or
react only slightly to needle detectors are known by the general term "NC (Needle Care) Products".
Sub-material manufacturers measure their garment accessory products based on a certain acceptance criteria
and deliver those that have passed. Authorized Inspection Body：Japan Spinning Inspection Institute

７．OPTIMUM USE OF THE DETECTOR
1. The Needle Detector helps to raise the efficiency in needle detecting
work
The Needle Detector was designed and developed to simplify and to raise the efficiency of the work of detecting
of pins, broken needles and other objects inadvertently left in garments by workers in the process of sewing
apparel. Therefore, in order to eliminate left-over needles, make a general study of the entire sewing process
giving consideration to the following points, together with the installation of the Detector.
1‑1 Assign a person to be responsible for the detecting work and have him give instructions and guidance to
others on the correct use of the Detector.
1‑2 Always restrict and control needles, marking pins, etc. to be used to those made of iron.
1‑3 When a needle breaks in the sewing operation, make it rule that the search for the broken pieces must be
continued until every piece is found to restore the needle to its original form, and supervise the
implementation of that rule.
1‑4 Control metallic garment accessories to the use of only detection support type (NC products).
(See NC Products on Page 12).
2. Detecting Ability
2‑1 Strictly speaking, the detecting sensitivity of the detection
unit is not uniform, there is a slight difference depending
on the position and direction of the passing needle.
Therefore, setting of sensitivity with the test pieces is done
by having them pass through the center part of the height
where is the lowest part of the sensitivity.
(See 1-②on Page 10)
The sensitive level in each direction of passing direction
of an actual needle is shown in the right figure,
where: ①highest ②close to highest ③lowest
2‑2 The electronic circuit has been adjusted for detecting sensitivity in accordance with the speed of travel
of the belt. Therefore, even though manually passing a once-inspected garment to and from through the
detection unit, all the detection level LED will not always go on.
3. Reacts for Nothing?
When the Detector reacts for nothing, there are surely causes. Refer to the following.
3‑1 A garment is supposed to have non-magnetic metallic buttons, front hooks, fasteners and other accessories
attached to it. However, an accessory that has not been made detection support treatment
has been included and the Detector has found it.
3‑2 Iron powder from a cutter blade that is sharpened or powder from the whetstone is
adhering to the garment being checked, and the Detector may have found that powder.
Be extra careful when handling cloth cutters that operate while the blade is being sharpened.
3‑3 Even oil stains are detected. When machine oil is adhering to the garment being inspected, the Detector
may detect the metallic powder that is mixed in with the oil.
3‑4 Metallic rust may be adhering to the garment being examined.

‑14‑
８．DAILY INSPECTION AND REPAIR
1. Are the casters off the floor or is there any play or rattle
in the conveyer? ....... Adjust the levelling bolts.
2. Has a sewing machine, cutter, packing machine or other moving
metallic object been newly installed within 4 meters of the
detection unit? ....... Cause of malfunction. Keep away.
3. Operate with no load under normal operating conditions.
When checking and cleaning the belt, rollers and other rotating parts,
for safety's sake always unplug the Detector.
3‑1 Are the bearings and other rotating parts making a strange noise?
.......If so, clean off any waste yarn and dust on the rotating parts with a cloth and
apply 2 or 3 drops of sewing machine oil or other machine oil to the parts.
Note: Avoid applying oil except when there is a strange noise. Dust and oil stain that
stick to the belt during cleaning may cause malfunction of the Detector..
3‑2
Two‑thirds or more of the detection level LED go on.
.......A needle, pin or other metallic object has fallen into the detection unit.
In particular, they may be adhering to the upper part of the tunnel which
contains a magnet. Check and remove whatever is adhering to it.
Note: As the Detector may be reacting to a wristwatch and magnetic cards etc with the body,
remove them and check.
3‑3
Many detection level LED go on or the belt stops always at the same spot of the belt.
.......As this is because small metallic particles are adhering to the belt, first turn
the sensitivity adjusting knob slightly to the right and raise the sensitivity until
the belt always stop. Put a mark with water paint or the like on the place where
the belt stops and check several times.
Thoroughly check both sides of the belt at the marked spot and remove all metallic
particles that are found. If none can be found, those can be occasionally removed by
wiping carefully with a clean and moistened cloth.
Note that the conveyer belt is recommended to replace every two years and thedrive
belt, once a year.
(Belts are treated as consumable supplies.)
3‑4 The belt sometimes shifts to the side and contacts the guide.
.......Wipe off dust and waste yarn from reverse side of the belt and the roll parts with
a clean, moistened cloth and then make the Detector travel with no load for a few
minutes.
If that does not seem to work normally, adjust by turning the tension adjusting bolts.
(See 4. Adjusting Level on Page 6)
4. Do not place anything on the Needle Detector.
4-1 When the Detector is not in use, cover it with a vinyl sheet, cloth or the like to
keep out dust, metal powder and other unwelcome objects.
