To access the Speed Controller menu, put the direction switch in the
neutral, middle, position. Press the Start/Stop button and make sure
it shows a speed percentage number. Press Menu to see option No.1,
and press Menu again to reach the next option (there are five total
options). Adjust each menu option by using the Up/Down arrows.
Press the Start/Stop button to save changes and exit the menu at any
time. Here are the five menu selections:
1) 030 Start time delay, in tenths of a second. This shows a 3-second
delay, though the full range is 0-10 seconds. (Keep the start
delay low to get the wheel up to speed quickly, or increase it
for a slower start. If you feel the yarn is being yanked when
the wheel starts, increase this value.)
2) 030 Stop time delay, in tenths of a second. This shows a 3-second
delay. Again, the actual range is 0-10 seconds. A setting of
2.060 would be a longer, 6-second delay. (5-7 seconds seems
right for high-speed plying on a laden bobbin, though your
mileage may vary.) If you’re getting backlashing, where the
yarn feeds back off the bobbin during a Stop, increase this
value just until the backlashing stops.
3) 001 Minimum speed setting, as a percentage of RPMs. This shows
a setting of 1%, the lowest speed setting while spinning that
can be selected and is not commonly changed from 1%. (If you
never use speeds under 30%, you could change this setting
3.030, and your speed control won’t go slower than 30%)
4) 100 Maximum speed setting as a percentage of RPM. This
shows a setting of 100%, meaning that you could go full
throttle and spin at max speed, provided you feel comfortable
doing so. This setting represents the maximum speed you’d
like your Speed Controller to allow for. A new user may want
to make sure they never accidentally go too fast and might
limit their top speed this way. (For instance, changing this
setting to 4.070 would keep the controller from going above
70% speed.)
