Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 Warnings and Cautions
In order to avoid fire, electrical shock or unpredicted injuries, you should follow the
listedsafety rules.
Matters for Attention on Usage
Danger
During the operation, do not try to open the machine box. The high voltage
contained in some parts is deadly. The rotating parts may cause serious injury.
Forbidden
Don't expose the machine to humidity gas, poisonous gas, water, and dust.
Forbidden
Don’t store or operate the machine in the vibration area, which may cause trouble
to the machine.
Attention
Please abide all the warnings and safety requirements to ensure the security.
Attention
LCD screen is fragile. Do not use the hard or sharp item to click the screen.
Attention
Please insert U disk correctly and don’t force it in, otherwise, USB interface or U
disk may get damaged
Attention
We will add appendix if necessary. If there is any difference between the manual
and appendix, the content in the appendix shall take precedence.
Matters for Attention on Transportation and Loading
Attention
When moving the machine, please not to hold the cable.
Attention
Please abide all the warnings and safety requirements to ensure the security.
Compulsory
Requirements
Overloading may cause serious loss. Please load according to the instruction on
the box

Matters for Attention on Installation
Attention
Don't jam the vent on the device. Don’t insert other items into the machine, or it
may get fire.
Attention
Make sure the installation direction is correct.
Attention
Don't expose the machine to humidity gas, corrosive gas, water, and other
flammable material.
Matters for Attention on Cable Connection
Forbidden
Don't test the insulation of the circuit loop.
Forbidden
Never try to connect the overloaded electronic device on the connectors (like
sockets or terminals).
Attention
The insulation condition of each cable (no matter signal cable or power cable)
should be ensured.
Attention
The signal cables and power cables should be separated. Never tie them together.
Attention
All the cables should be well fixed. Don’t put any strength on cables. Make sure
each turning point of cable is well protected. Add shelter pipes to increase
insulating capability if necessary.
Attention
Machine should be grounded reliably. The resistance should be smaller than 10
Ω.
Matters for Attention on Operation
Danger
Don't operate the machine when there is any damage on the shelter of the running
parts.
Forbidden
When machine is running, do not touch any running part.
Attention
Make sure the configuration of power supply is in normal. Use stabilized voltage
power supply when the change of voltage is beyond the range of -10%~10%.
Attention
In case of warning, please check out the problem. Operation can only be carried
out again when problem is solved.
Attention
The power supply switch has over-current protection function. If the over-current
switch is activated, the switch can only be closed after 3 minutes.

Matters for Attention on Maintenance and Inspection
Warning
If you need to open the machine cover, please cut off the power supply at first.
Due to the capacitance, operator must wait at least one minute before opening the
machine cover.
Attention
Circuit boards can be damaged by static. The circuit boards can only be
disassembled by professional technicians.
Attention
If machine is inactive for a while temporarily, users must power on the machine
regularly (once by every 2 or 3 days, more than an hour for each time).
Attention
If machine is inactive for a long time, users should have the machine checked
before power-on.
Matters for Attention on Rejection
Attention
Rejection should obey the rules and regulations set by national industrial
electronic standards.
1.2 Main Features
1. User-friendly Interface on Touching Panel
The adoption of the touching panel technology offers user the delightful operation
andeasy learning. The beautiful screen display turns everyday work into joyful
experiences.
2. Huge Memory Capacity
The memory capacity reaches 100 million stitches, which can meet demands of different
customers.
3. Maximum Stitch Amount of One Pattern Reaches Two Million
At present a single pattern in the system has the maximum of 2 million stitches and
1,000times of automatic color changing.
4. Multi-Task Parallel Operation and Free Shift among Tasks
During the embroidery, actions like pattern input & output, preparation for the
followingpatterns and modification of parameters can be carried out.
5. Storage of Frequently Used Parameters and Color-Changing Order for Each
Pattern Pattern will be saved along with its parameters, color-changing orders and
needle bar
colors. System can save the operational details for each pattern. Users can set parameters for a

Owner’s Manual of BECS- A15 Computerized Control System
pattern during the embroidery process of the previous pattern, which will save time and
improve efficiency. Moreover, it is one basis to realize network management.
6. Pattern Input/Output via USB
Customers can use USB disk for data transfer. USB disk supports DIR operation,
which iseasy for pattern management. For each directory, system supports operation of 400
patterns or sub-directory. There is no limitation of directory levels. Patterns in the formats
of Binary, Ternary and Z-nary can be loaded.
7. Patch Embroidery
This function can set a patch point at the position of color code or stop code, and when
the machine embroiders to the patch point, it will halt and move out frame for patching.
After sticking a patch, user would press the start key to return the frame and continue
embroidering.
8. Brake Adjustment
User can adjust the parameter of brake to let the main shaft stop at the correct position
according to the characters of his own machines.
9. Save Start Point
This function can save the start point of each pattern, which saves the work of user to
search the start point manually at embroidering the identical pattern.
10. Mechanical Maintainence and Debugging
This function is to easily judge the malfunctions at maintaining and debugging the
machine, such as encoder testing, main shaft speed testing, machine parts testing and the
main shaft stopping at any position, etc.
11. Multi-Language Support
Currently, the system only supports Chinese and English; Arabic, Spanish, Turkish,
Russian, Portuguese, French and many other languages are under developing.
12. Pattern Output
Patterns can be output and saved into USB disk. Adoption of TAJIMA’s binary format
enjoys the advantage of data transmitting through the World Wide Web (other formats may
notbe transmitted directly).
