WARNINGS
4
1) Switch off the power supply box and the yarn accumulator before
starting any part connection, maintenance or replacement.
2) During standard machine operation, the yarn accumulator may
suddenly start up without prior warning.
CAUTION: the orange lights do not signal that the yarn accumulator
is ON, but that the accumulator has gone into an alarm mode.
Therefore, during standard operation they should be OFF.
3) Before yarn accumulator start-up, inspect it physically for
damage (moving parts).
4) Strictly avoid touching any moving part during accumulator
operation
5) Due to the high accuracy and sensitivity of the tension sensor,
mobile or cordless phones might interfere with it. Operation of
the device and the sensor is not affected. In any case, to avoid
interference, we recommend that you keep a minimum distance
of 3 metres.
6) Only use the original L.G.L. Electronics spare parts and
accessories.
7) Any repairs to the accumulator’s electronic parts must be
performed by appropriately qualified personnel, regularly
authorised by L.G.L. Electronics accordingly.
8) Yarn accumulators that are moved from warehouse storage into
a warmer weaving mill environment may develop condensation;
please wait until they are completely dry before connecting them
up. Failure to do so may damage the electronic components.

WARNINGS
TIPS TO KEEP THE YAR ACCUMULATOR I GOOD WORKI G ORDER
A D EXTE D ITS SERVICE LIFE.
For you to achieve and maintain a satisfactory performance of the yarn
accumulator over the years, we suggest you should follow some simple steps:
1. Yarn accumulators that are moved from warehouse storage into a warmer
weaving mill environment may develop condensation; please wait until
they are completely dry before connecting them up. Failure to do so may
damage the electronic components.
2. Water and moisture are harmful to the yarn accumulator’s electronics.
Keeping the yarn accumulator operating for long periods of time in very
humid environments (humidity greater than 80%) or using wires
impregnated with water may quickly result in damages to electronic cards.
oreover, never clean the yarn accumulator with water or similar liquids.
3. achines working in very dusty environments require greater
maintenance. A clean workplace clean can prevent residual dust or dirt
from negatively affecting machine performance by stressing its moving
parts. The latter are protected, anyway dust accumulation might result in
hindered movement and, hence, early wear.
4. We recommend that you store yarn accumulators that are not used for
long periods of time in the appropriate polystyrene boxes, which
guarantee optimum storage conditions.
5. When the yarn accumulator is being threaded, used the appropriate yarn
taker. Do not use other tools, especially metal ones.

“ ” Enter button
The Enter button is used to access the reference tension programming
function and the sub-menus and confirm an entry.

Moreover, this button enables you to:
− reinstate the device when it is in the yarn winding (or threading) state
“WAIT:YarnWinding”;
− turn on the device when it stands in the “SPIN OFF state”;
− put the device in the self-resetting yarn winding/threading state
“WAIT:YarnWinding” (see chapter 3.1). Keep this button pressed for about
1 second.
“ ” Escape Button
The Escape button is used to cancel an alarm (if the alarm displayed can be
cancelled), exit submenus and quit a value editing page.
The purpose of this button depends on the menu you are in. Moreover, this
button allows you to:
− reinstate the device when it is in the yarn threading state
“WAIT:YarnWinding”;
− switch off the device by holding this button pressed for about 5 seconds
(complete switch-off “SPIN OFF”);

This button is used to scroll menus and submenus upwards. Moreover, it is
used to increase values in data entry/edit sessions.
If it is held pressed while a datum is being edited in the programming mode,
the value will go up quickly.
This button is also used to reinstate the device when it is in the yarn
threading state “WAIT:YarnWinding”.

This button is used to scroll menus and submenus downwards. Moreover, it
is used to decrease values in data entry/edit sessions.
If it is held pressed while a datum is being edited in the programming mode,
the value will go down quickly.
This button is also used to reinstate the device when it is in the yarn
threading state “WAIT:YarnWinding”.

2.1 YARN ACCUMULATOR INSTALLATION
.B.: Yarn accumulators that are moved from warehouse storage into
a warmer weaving mill environment may develop condensation; please
wait until they are completely dry before connecting them up.
Failure to do so may damage the electronic components.
For installation of the yarn accumulator onto the machine, proceed as follows:
FLAT CABLE VERSION
1. Place the flat cable onto the support ring and fix it by means of straps.
The text “LGL Electronics” on the cable must be on the right reading
side; the flat cable lip shall be turned downwards.

2. Connect the cable connector to clamp connector (A).
3. Place the clamp in the desired position; close the clamp grab screw until
the strip is punctured (B), taking care to have the connector profile match
that of the plate (C).
4. Connect the (A1N1SA792-0200) cable connector to the related
connector found on the accumulator and fasten it by tightening on the
accumulator the screw that is in the cable protection housing (D).

1. POWER (power supply connector)
There are 3 different ways to feed voltage to LGL box:
− 18Vac to 28Vac single phase alternating voltage.
Connect the two (single-phase) lines between two phases whatsoev-
er (a, b or c) of the POWER connector.
− 18Vac to 28Vac three-phase alternating voltage.
Connect the three (three-phase) lines into 3 (a, b and c) phases of the
POWER connector.
−23Vdc (*) to 40 Vdc direct voltage
Connect the two (DC power supply) lines between
2 phases whatsoever (a, b or c) of the POWER connector.
Connect the earth-fault protection cable into the clamp marked with the
electrical earth symbol.
(*) .b.: The minimum power supply value of the box is 23Vdc, 1V high-
er than that of the devices to compensate for the voltage drop
on external diodes.
