Installation
Caution Don't jam the vent on the device. Don’t plug up the machine, or it may set
fire.
Caution Make sure the installing direction is correct..
Caution Don't install the machine to the position with wet gas, corrosive gas,
flammable gas and explosive gas
Cable Connection
Forbidden Don't test the insulation of the circuit loop.
Forbidden Never try to connect overloaded electronic device on the connector..
Caution Make sure the insulation cover of the cable is fine.
Caution Signal cable and power cable should be separated.
Caution
All the cables should be well fixed. Don’t put any strength on cables. Make
sure the turning point of cable is well protected. Add pipes to increase
insulation capability.
Caution Machine should be grounded. The resistance should be no larger than 10
Ω.
Operation Direction
Danger Don't operating the machine when there is any damage on the protection
cover
Forbidden When machine is running, do not touch any running part.
Caution
Make sure the configuration of power supply is normal. Use stabilized
power supply (with grounding device) when the voltage waves beyond the
normal range at -10%~10%.
Caution In case of warning, please check out the problem. Operation can only be
carried out again when problem is solved.
Caution The power supply has over-currency protection function. There is a 3 mins
time lag before the switch can be closed again.
Maintenance

Chapter 1 General Descriptions
BECS-528 Computerized Embroidery Machine's Manual 3
Warning
If you need to open the machine cover, cut out the power supply first. Due
to the capacitance contains power after power off, operator must wait one
minute then he can open the machine cover.
Caution Circuit boards can be damaged by static. Non-professional technician can
not disassemble circuit boards.
Caution If machine is inactive for a while, users must power on the machine
regularly (once in 2 or 3 days, more than an hour for each time).
Caution If machine is inactive for a long time, users should have the machine
checked before power on.
Rejection
Caution Rejection should obey the rules and regulations set by national industrial
electronic standards.
1-2 Main Technical Features
1. Operation box Screen: 8 inch TFT LCD.
2. Control Precision
The minimum of stitch form is 0.1 mm.
3. Stitch Range
The stitch range is 0.1 mm -- 12.7 mm.
4. Design Storage Capacity
The system memory can store 100,000,000 stitches.
5. Maximum of Memory Design Storage
The maximum is 800. (The maximum is 790 when the machine has been installed with
letter design base.)
1-3 Main Functions
1. Design Input and output and software upgrade from Floppy/USB Disk
Disk includes floppy disk and USB flash disk. The floppy disk is outside of the operation
box and connected via USB port. The USB port is the standard device, where user can insert
the U disk.
1) Disk Input
The computer can read a variety of designs from floppy/USB disk and save them in the
memory, such as TAJIMA DSB, TAJIMA DST, BARUDAN FDR (including the binary,
tri-nary and Z-nary) and ZSK.

Chapter 1 General Descriptions
4BECS-528 Computerized Embroidery Machine's Manual
2) Disk Output
The designs in computer memory can be output to floppy/USB disk. The designs are
output in Tajima DSB format, which can be used in internet transmission (the pattern in other
format has no this function).
3) The software of BECS-528 can be updated by floppy/USB disk.
2. English, Chinese or Spanish/Turkish/French/Portuguese Display
The display of the system includes the shape and letters. User can select language for the
letter part from Chinese, English, Spanish, Turkish, French and Portuguese. And the operation
keys use logo to mark their meaning, which can be understood by the user in the world.
3. Display of Pattern
In this system, user can not only see the patterns within the memory and the disk, but also
during the normal embroidery, user can see the embroidered shape in real time.
4. Color-changing Function
In the color-changing position, user can perform the manual color-changing or operate the
system to change color automatically according to the preset color-changing sequence.
5. Mending Function
During the embroidery, this system has the sufficient methods for returning and empty
feeding, which makes the mending become easier
6. Speed Adjustment
The max speed for embroidery can be set in advance, which will be changed
automatically with the stitch length during embroidery.
7. Thread-breakage Detection
During embroidery, the machine will automatically stop and light the red stamp if the
thread is broken or is running out.
8. Repetition Embroidery
When user needs embroider one pattern for many times, user can set the system in the
repetition embroidery mode so as to increase embroidery productivity (can be used with cyclic
embroidery). And it can do the normal repetition embroidery directly. The partial repetition,
function is still reserved, but user has to create a new design through the option “Create Pattern
from Para.” in the assistant management menu and set repetition embroidery on this pattern.

Chapter 1 General Descriptions
BECS-528 Computerized Embroidery Machine's Manual 5
9. Cyclic Embroidery
When the machine activates the cyclic embroidery function, the machine can return to
the origin automatically after completing the pattern for each time. Along with the special
pattern-designing or repetition embroidery, user can increase embroidery productivity by large
margin.
10. Batch Embroidery (Combination Pattern)
User can combine several identical or different patterns with the different scaling rate,
rotating angle, pattern direction and relating displacement into one “combination pattern”
which contains parameters and several single shapes. The combination pattern is attached with
the extension name of PAR. User can realize the batch embroidery by embroidering this
pattern.
11. Compiling Pattern
A. Compiling Current Pattern
Compile the selected pattern according to the set scale rate, rotating angle and repetition
to create a new pattern in the memory. This new pattern can be used for embroidery,
outputting and other operations.
B. Compiling the Combined Design
The system can compile the combined design to create a new pattern into the memory,
which can also be used for embroidery, outputting and other operations.
12. Edition Function
User can edit the pattern within the memory by every stitch (exclude the combination
pattern), which is easy for user to make the partial modification.
13. Appliqué Embroidery
This function can set a patch code at the color-changing code or stop code. And when the
machine embroiders the appliqué code, it will halt and move frame out for appliqué (it is based
on the setting of offset origin). After patching cloth, user could pull the operation bar to let the
frame move back and continue embroidering.
14. Memory of Pattern Start Point
This function can save the start point of each pattern, so that user needn’t move the frame
to search the origin at embroidering the same pattern for each time.
