KTF/100HPS

 

 

P2 Programming Level 

LFA m/min 

#

  ADVANCED 

#

 

MENU P2 

 

The P2 programming level allows you to setup 3 parameters: 
1) 

Device tension with machine stationary; 

2) 

Yarn relaxation tension; 

3) 

Yarn feeding speed at which the relaxation tension shall be activated. 

 

 

 to select the P2 level. 

 
 
 

 to continue with programming of P2 menu parameters. 

 
 

P2.1 

 

EXIT TENSION

 

 
Tension value of KTF device when the machine is stationary or out of yarn 
working zone 

(INC/DEC pulses deactivated).

 By setting a value higher or lower 

than the value set with 

MAIN TENSION

 parameter of P1 menu, you can control the 

deceleration phase of KTF/100HPS device. 
This function may be either enabled 

(with values ranging from 0.2 to 100.0 grams)

 

or disabled 

(OFF)

. To disable the function press and hold down for 3 seconds the 

Enter button. 
The

 OFF 

indication means that the function has been disabled. In this case the

 EXIT 

TENSION 

parameter will assume the same value set on 

MAIN TENSION 

parameter 

within the P1 programming level. 
To re-enable this function press and hold down for 3 seconds the Enter button. The 

OFF

 indication will disappear and it will be replaced by a modifiable numeric 

value. Choose the desired value using: 

 

(to increase the value) 

or 

 

(to decrease the value). 

 to confirm. 

 

P2.2 

 

RELAX TENSION

 

 
Yarn relaxation tension. This function allows to relax the yarn tension to the 
programmed value, every time the KTF/100HPS stops working. See the next 
function 

(

RELAX SPEED

)

. This function is activated in a way which is tightly related 

to the “

MODE

” function selected within the P3 programming level. 

MODE 

00 

#

 

the function is active when the KTF/100HPS stops working, 
with INC/DEC commands active. 

MODE 

01 

#

 

the function is active when the KTF/100HPS stops working, 
during the graduation reset phase. 

MODE 

02/03 

#

  the function is active when the KTF/100HPS stops working. 

MODE 

04 

#

 

this parameter is not significant.
