b)
If loom connection fails, repeat Loom Control Steps including power cycling the
loom.
c)
You may also use Serial (COM/USB) communication mode to connect with the
loom. This mode uses a virtual serial driver instead of the direct USB driver, both of
which come preloaded on the Macbook. Should you ever need to reload USB drivers,
these are provided for download on the AVL (
) or FTDI

) websites.
Dressing the Loom:
This loom requires a creel (customer-provided) to supply the warp. The creel provides up to
twelve hundred individually-tensioned warp threads, exiting through an eye board that ensures
no crossed or twisted threads.
The most important aspects in dressing the loom are:
1)
No crossed or twisted threads at any place behind or in the loom. These errors will cause
mechanical issues with the hook operation.
2)
Straight through threading without angles between the raddle/rollers and heddles. This
error will cause mechanical issues with the hook operation.
3)
Thread sizing appropriate to the density. With twelve hundred (1,200) hooks in eight (8)
inches, the weaving density is very tight. Overly thick yarn will exacerbate all other
problems.
4)
No yarn abrasion (applies mostly to technical fibers). Fuzzing will affect nearby yarn,
creating a snow-balling affect. If left unchecked, yarn will become unpassable through
heddles and reed. If noticeable fuzzing can be seen during loom dressing, pull the yarn
through until the damaged areas have passed through the pressure rollers.
Dressing Features:
1)
Ten (10) dents per inch raddle with removable top: Raddle at the rear of the loom
organizes widely-spaced yarn from the creel eye board to the correct eight inch weaving
width. Unbolt the raddle top from the frame allowing place-in threading. Place fifteen
(15) ends in each raddle dent to set the maximum one hundred fifty (150) ends per inch
density.
