7.0 DISPLAY ELEMENTS

7.1 Speed and fault location indicators, warnings, warning lamps
A main digital display is installed at a highly visible place on each machine section.
A signal column (red/orange/green) is installed on this display.
Acoustic signals are given as a startup warning and if there are other
warnings/faults.
7.1.1 P211 main digital display
999
Fig. 10
While the machine is running, the P211 main digital display and the display of the
control panel in the P21 main control console show the current machine running
speed of machine section 2 in c/min.
If the number flashes when the machine is running, a warning number is shown on
the corresponding main digital display as well as on the display of the control
panel in the corresponding main control console.
The machine, however, continues running.
The meaning of the warning numbers can be read from the display of the control
panel in the corresponding main control console -- see Fault and warning
display main mask.
If there is a fault, the fault number is shown on the corresponding main digital
display as well as on the display of the control panel in the corresponding main
control console.
The machine stops.
01/11 71517281_V1.0_US_EL 19

Orange lamp
Green lamp
Fig. 11
A signal column (red/orange/green) is installed on every main digital display.
The red lamp in the signal column flashes if inching mode is preselected on the
corresponding tow cable inching button.
If an EMERGENCY STOP button has been activated or unlocked but the fault
number has not yet been acknowledged (using the Machine ON, 001 illuminated
pushbutton), the red lamp does not flash.
The red lamp in the signal column illuminates if a fault is present.
The orange lamp in the signal column illuminates when a warning is present.
The green lamp in the signal column illuminates when the machine is ready for
operation.
01/11 71517281_V1.0_US_EL 21
bielomatik
7.1.3 Warning lamps
Fig. 12
A red lamp is installed at every sewing machine.

If the sewing thread is torn or at an end, the red lamp in the sewing machine area
lights up.
At the same time an acoustic signal sounds and a warning number (with explana-
tory text) appears on the corresponding main digital display.
The machine automatically slows down to the value set for automatic decelera-
tion, the corresponding sewing machine disengages, and the corresponding
layers are transported straight on and discharged.
Once the cause of the fault has been rectified, the corresponding electric
operating elements -- see 9.3.2 -- is actuated, the sewing machine engages
again at the exact point in the cycle and the layers are led to the corresponding
sewing machine. The red lamp and the warning number go out and the acoustic
signal ceases.
The sewing thread check is only effective while the machine is running (min.
5 cycles/min).
22 71517281_V1.0_US_EL 01/11
bielomatik
7.2 Startup and fault signals
Acoustic signals (e.g. horn, hooter, bell or similar) are mounted on the machine or
switch cabinet to provide a start--up warning signal.
Provided there are no current faults, the start--up warning occurs in the form of a
loud ringing tone every time the Machine ON (001) illuminated pushbutton is
pressed.
DANGER!
Leave the machine’s danger area immediately if the machine’s start--up
warning signal sounds!
The tow cable inching buttons are used for operating the machine in inching
mode -- see 9.1. The machine can still be moved despite a fault having occurred if
the machine has been switched over to inching mode by turning the key switch.
Exception:
EMERGENCY STOP button is pressed or protective device of another safety
circuit is opened.
The start--up warning also occurs when an inching button has been pressed.
If there is a malfunction, an acoustic signal sounds when the inching button is
actuated for as long as the inching button is pressed.
DANGER!
Increased danger of injury from all moving parts in inching mode!

9.14.2 L341 distribution box with operating elements

Temperature regulator:
The temperature for the gluing device is set separately at the temperature
regulator.
Generally speaking, the temperature should rise by about 5 °C to 10 °C from
setting to setting, whereby attention must be paid to the manufacturer’s details
concerning the processing temperature for the hot melt.
Example:
Tank in hot melt unit = 170 °C
Material hose = 175 °C
Gluing device = 185 °C
Experience has shown that a temperature setting at the gluing device of between
175 °C and 195 °C is advantageous. This depends, however, on the hot melt used
and the ambient temperature as well.
The glue manufacturer’s specifications are binding.
Information!
Hot melt loses its adhesive strength if heated for a long time without
cooling!
For further information see Operating instructions for the Gluing device or
Auxiliary hot melt gluing assembly.
DANGER OF HOT
SURFACES
Temperatures over +150 °C!

Danger of severe burns from touching the gluing device or hot melt unit and
material hose!
Allow the parts to cool down and wear leather safety gloves when working
on them!
Please refer to the Operating instructions for the hot melt unit in the
documentation for purchased parts for how to set the temperatures of the hot
melt unit.
For operation, setting, etc. see the Operating instructions of the temperature
regulator in the documentation for purchased parts!
