5. Detailed explanation of selection of functions
1
Selection of the soft-start function (Function setting No. 1)
The needle thread may fail to interlace with the bobbin thread at the start of sewing when the stitching
pitch (stitch length) is small or a thick needle is used. To solve such problem, this function (called “soft-start”)
is used to limit the sewing speed, thereby assuring successful formation of the starting stitches.
0 : The function is not selected.
1 to 9 : The number of stitches to be sewn under the soft-start mode.
The sewing speed limited by the soft-start function can be changed.
(Function setting No. 37)
Data setting range
100 to MAX rpm <50 rpm>
2
Material end sensor (ED : optional) function (Function setting No. 2 to 4)
This function is possible when the material end sensor (ED) is attached.
As for the details, refer to the instruction manual for the material end sensor.
(Caution)
Setting will be invalid when the material end sensor is not attached, or CP-160 is connected.
3
Flicker reducing function (Function setting No. 5)
The function reduces ickering of the hand lamp at the start of sewing. The higher the set value increas-
es, the more effective the function will work.
Setting range 0 to 3
0 : Flicker reducing function does not work.
to 3 : Flickering is effectively reduced.
(Caution) The more effective the icker reducing function works (the more the set value is made),
the lower the start-up speed of the sewing machine will become.
4
Bobbin thread counting function (Function setting No. 6)
When the control panel (CP-160) is used, the function subtracts from the predetermined value and indi-
cates the used amount of bobbin thread.
For the details, refer to the instruction manual for the control panel.
(Caution) If “0” is set, the LCD indication on the control panel will go out and the bobbin thread
counting function will be invalid. For the details, refer to (Caution) of "Sewing count
function (Function setting No. 14)".
5
Thread trimming prohibiting function (Function setting No. 9)
This function turns OFF thread trimming solenoid output and wiper solenoid output when thread trimming
is actuated. [If the control panel (CP-160) is used with the sewing machine, this function will work in ac-
cordance with the function setting on the control panel.]
By this function, separate sewing material can be spliced and sewn without trimming thread.
0 : off Thread trimming is operative. (thread can be trimmed).
1 : on Thread trimming is inoperative. (thread can not be trimmed).
