Check incident light (refer to the figure of 3-3-3[Setting of threshold level]) value is "9999" when separating thread and sensor light. If value decrease, set incident light to "9999" as follows.
Note If incident light value decrease, erroneous detection may occur.
- Connect the Fiber Unit again
Please refer to 2-5 [Piping] (8), Make sure the Fiber Unit is fully inserted into the Fiber amp assy.
- Clean the abnormal stitch detector
Clean as follows because sensor light is obstructed by collecting the thread waste in the abnormal stitch detector.
(1) Remove two button bolts (Fig.No.118), the plate (Fig.No.117), the guard (Fig.No.116), the base cover (Fig.No.115), and two spacers (Fig.No.114).
(2) Clean inside the abnormal stitch detector (Hatched area), and remove the thread waste.
(3) Attach spacers (Fig.No.114), the base cover (Fig.No.115), the guard (Fig.No.116), and the plate (Fig.No.117), with button bolts (No.118) again.
When seeing the abnormal stitch detector from above, attach the guard (Fig.No.116) with making an edge of the guard (No.116) contact a protrusion of the base cover (No.115) as shown on the right figure.
Note If an edge of the guard doesn't contact a protrusion of the base cover, thread may be off from the abnormal stitch detector.

Please refer to the technical manual [Operation Panel] [22] [Program mode list] 23[Traceability] for checking detail of the abnormal stitch detection function.
3-6-1. Setting change example of the abnormal stitch detection1
When changing setting of the abnormal stitch detector1, refer to the following example.
Open the Traceability in the Program Mode refer to [3-4] [How to use the abnormal stitch detector].
(1) In the case of erroneous detection occurring without occurring the abnormal stitch.
->Adjust that erroneous detection doesn't occur by increasing set value of SKCS little by little. Note If it is difficult to adjust, use test output of the abnormal stitch detection SKTS.
Checking procedure:
- Press to (need password) on the standard screen,
open the Output Customize Setting screen.
- Set output signal is not used to SKTS.
Note Please refer to the technical manual [Operation Panel] [16][Input/output setting mode] for checking detail of operation 1,2.
- Connect output terminal is set in 2 to the outside lamp.
-> It is possible to substitute for outside lamp by changing Halt signal being on output SSW to SKTS.
- In this state, Sew while working the abnormal stitch detector.
And adjust that lamp doesn't light while standard sewing by increasing set value of SKCS little by little.
(2) In the case of not detecting when the abnormal stitch occur.
-> Adjust that erroneous detection doesn't occur while standard sewing by decreasing set value of SKCS little by little.
(3) If you want not to detect while sewing at less than 1,000rpm.
-> Change set value of SKSP to "1000".
(4) If you want not to detect from start sewing to 6 stitches latter, and from end sewing to 8 stitches former.
-> Change set value of SKN1 to "6" and SKN3 to "8".
(5) If you want to change sewing stop timing by the abnormal stitch detector to when stop upper shaft next time.
-> Change set value of SKTP to "ED".
3-6-2. Setting change example of the abnormal stitch detection2
When changing setting of the abnormal stitch detector2, refer to the following example.
Note It is mentioned only about explanation different from the abnormal stitch detection1.
Open the Traceability refer to [3-5] [Adjustment of the abnormal stitch detector gap].
(1) Change set value of S2CE to the same value as SKCS set at "3-6-1(1), (2).
(2) In the case of erroneous detection occurring without occurring the abnormal stitch.
-> Adjust that erroneous detection doesn't occur by increasing set value of S2FL little by little.
