SafetyHD-X2 2WARNING!• The power supply must be switched off at the mainsbefore any work is carried out on the feeder, thetransformer or any other electrical components. Thefeeder and the transformer cabinet must be fullyassembled before the power supply is connected.• The weft feeder ON/OFF-switch does not cut off themain power supply. Turn off the main switch beforeany work is carried out on the electrical circuit.• The feeder and transformer contain electrical componentsthat retain an electric current up to threeminutes after disconnectionCAUTION!• Caution must be taken in the close vicinity of thefeeder as it contains moving parts that can causeinjuries and, in normal operation, starts without priorwarning.• To comply with c.E. Regulations only replacementparts approved by IRO AB may be used.• The feeder is an industrial product and therefore notapproved to use household environments /in residentialareas.• All work on electrical components must be carriedout by a qualified electrician.• This product is not intended for use in potentiallyexplosive atmospheres or in zones classified accordingto the european directive 94/9/ec. Please contactiro ab if products for use in a potentially explosiveatmosphere are required.• Always turn off the main switch or isolate thepower supply and disconnect the air supply beforeconnecting or disconnecting the feeder, the controlboard or any of the circuit boards• Routine checks for damaged or worn parts must bemade before operating this equipment. Any part thatis worn or damaged should be properly repaired orreplaced by authorized personnel. To avoid risk ofinjury DO NOT operate this equipment if any componentdoes not appear to be functioning correctly.NOTE• To ensure the selection of the most suitable feeder and associated accessories, it is recommended makingweaving tests with the intended yarns.• Please dispose of obsolete or unwanted equipment responsibly, taking into consideration any local regulationsregarding the disposal and / or recycling of materials that are applicable.Ref. No. 24-893H-2001-02/1232

Voltage supply box / Jumper settingsHD-X2 11VOLTAGE SUPPLY BOXThe HD X2 feeder is compatible with the standard Lineof X2 voltage supply boxes (maximum 4 feeders foreach control box).WARNINGFor applications with multiple insertions (two ormore yarns together at the same time), it is necessaryto use an X2 control box suitable for higherpower consumption.min 20 cmFix the voltage supply box to the stand by means of theproper brackets.NoteMinimum distance from the box to the floor must be20 cmjumper settingsThe feeder is equipped with jumpers on the motorcircuit board that adapt the feeders operation to thecharacteristics of the weaving process. (Weavingmachine settings have priority over jumper settings).NoteOnly for installations on CAN looms, if for testreasons it is needed to run the feeder withoutPattern in advance and Start/Stop informationfrom the loom, set Jumper J3 to closed(disabled).NOTEWhenever the electronic board or the sensorsboard are replaced, it is necessary to carry outthe “Automatic sensor calibration procedure”.J3J3J4J4Pattern in advance- DISABLEDPattern in advance- ENABLEDWinding disc positioning- DISABLEDWinding disc positioning- ENABLEDRef.

Speed settingsHD-X2 13NoteNormally the switch should be left at posistion1 since the feeder automatically calculates thespeed according to yarn consumption. However,with very low speeds or wide looms, it could behelpful to reduce the maximum speed in order toavoid unnecessary acceleration12 34To set the maximum speed rotate the disc to theappropriate position.Mechanical sensors, STAND-ALONE1 = 1400 m/min2 = 1200 m/min3 = 800 m/min4 = 500 m/minMechanical sensors, CAN1 = 1600 m/min2 = 1200 m/min3 = 800 m/min4 = 500 m/minRef. No. 24-893H-2001-02/1232

S/Z adjustmentHD-X2 14With standard ball bearing1. Switch off the feeder.2. Grip the winding disc (1) and, whilst pressing theorange button on the front of the spool body (2),rotate the disc until the button is felt to locate. Aligningthe mark on the winding disc with the line onthe motor house gives the zero separation position.1To adjust, press in the button and revolve the windingdisc in the appropriate direction.21Set the direction of rotation with the switch.(The feeder is deactivated in the standby position (0))0The separation must be distinct, but notexcessive.Ref. No. 24-893H-2001-02/1232

Sensors settingsHD-X2 16The mechanical sensors are placed on the fixed part ofthe spool body.The sensor (1) controls MAX reserve level, and the sensor(2) controls MIN reserve level.1The force needed to press down the sensors is controlledby a spring, and it is adjustable with screw (3). Turnthe screw (3) anti-clockwise to increase the sensorstrength, turn it clockwise to reduce it.32Automatic calibration of the sensorsNoteBefore starting the automatic sensors calibration,check the following:• Remove all yarn from the feeder• The spool body must be in correct position.• The sensors must be free to correctly move up anddown.• The sensors ring must be correctly fixed.1. Switch OFF the feeder.2. Disable the TFE7 by moving the switch (4) upwards.The LED of TFE7 must be steady-ON in red color.(5)3. Switch ON the feeder and let it turn without weft for atleast 50 revolutions, until the winding disk stops.(feeder red light steady ON).4. Switch OFF the feeder, and enable the TFE7 by movingthe switch down5. Thread the yarn through the feeder (see page 15)6. Switch ON the feeder and load a new weft reserve.54LED (5)When disabled, the LED (5) is steady RED ON.When enabled, the LED (4) is GREEN only when theyarn is creating signal, other way it is OFF.Ref. No. 24-893H-2001-02/1232

FunnelHD-X2 17Suitable for heavy yarns which create large balloons.Suggested for polypropylene flat tape on projectilelooms.NoteThere is no braking function on the yarn when thefunnel is installed since it is used only to controlthe balloon effect during the yarn taking-off.11Funnel fitting1. Slightly screw the three nuts (1) with the screws.2. Slide the fixing screws into the guides of the Sensorholderring.3. Push the funnel completely against the Sensor-holderring. (2)4. Position the screws in the proper slots, then fix them withthe nuts. (3)1332Ref. No. 24-893H-2001-02/12323

MaintenanceHD-X2 20CleaningIt is recommended to carry out a periodicalcleaning of any lint or dust accumulation onthe feeder or the control box.min 20 cmlubricationThe unit requires no extra lubrication.ConnectionsMain switchWarningAlways turn off the main switch or isolate thepower supply and disconnect the air supply beforeconnecting or disconnecting the feeder, the controlboard or any of the circuit boards.IRO/ ROJ Tool kitIt is recommended to use IRO tool kit, with specialisedtools, to ensure easy and correct disassembly/ assemblyof IRO feeders during maintenance work.Please contact your local IRO service station for furtherinformation.Ref. No. 24-893H-2001-02/1232

Assembly instructionsHD-X2 21After disassembling, it is necessary to install the spoolbodypart by part to avoid damaging the parts.Secure the bellow properly with plastic straps (1).11Be sure that the carrier pin fits into the keygroove in themotor shaft (2).2Insert the two screws for the rubber belly (3) and besure they are properly tightened with the correct key.(Torx T10)333Turn the winding disc (4) when holding the centre nut (5)to get the balance weight in position. When correct, thedisc can easily be moved 180° only.544Ref. No. 24-893H-2001-02/1232Install the centre screw, outer rubber belly, spoolbodyand cover. Set the yarn separation in a suitable positionto be sure it is correctly assembled.
