Bernina Activa 125 Bedienungsanleitung

Attention!

All electrical and electronic components operate at

dangerous voltages. The mains plug must be withdrawn

before making any adjustments to the machine.

Wait about 30 seconds after removing the plug (capacitor

discharge).

The service manual is intended to help with small repairs

and adjustments. The instructions lay no claim to comple-

teness. They are not suitable for a complete assembly or

disassembly procedure.

Important:

To enable the work described to be performed correctly,

the sewing machine must be in good mechanical and

electrical condition (running smoothly, properly oiled and

all plugs in position). When the adjustments are carried

out in the correct order, the machine will sew perfectly.

When doing any service on a machine always use the

original accessories that were delivered with the machine,

or were purchased afterwards. These are the following:

– Mains cable

– Foot control unit

– Buttonhole foot

– Bobbin case with bobbin

– Other accessories

The electronics of the BERNINA activa are basically

contained in two modules (printed circuits), namely on the

power L-print and the S-print (see block diagram).

Power supply L-print

The power L-print is mounted at the rear of the sewing

machine. The circuits produce the following direct current

voltages:

•5 V/DC for the logic on the S-print.

•12 V/DC for the sewing light.

•30 V/DC for the drive motor, bobbin winder motor and

stepping motors.

•16 V/DC for motor control on the S-print.

In case of malfunction, the fuse F-4A-T protects the parts

against overload. If a fuse blows, only an original replace-

ment with the correct ratings must be used.

S-print

The S-print is assembled with the latest SMD (Surface

Mounted Device) technology. SMD components allow a

very compact type of circuitry.

SMD prints cannot be repaired with conventional tools!

The micro-computer on the S-print receives an analogue

signal from the foot control which is converted into a digital

signal and given as a nominal value. When the foot control

is released (nominal value zero) the micro-computer

switches on the electric brake. The motor is stopped very

quickly in the required needle position.

When the sewing machine is switched on the stepping

motors are in any given position. There can also be any

given value in the memory of the micro-computer. So that

a defined basis is achieved, the stepping motors are

positioned by means of a signal from the micro-computer.

This position is then registered and set at zero in the

memory of the micro-computer. It is then possible to select

and sew any given stitch from this zero position.

The S-Print controls the functions of the stepping motors

to one another, calculates the signals of the sensors, com-

piles the results and displays them on the screen.

Integrated on the S-Print are the display, P-Print and

return button.
