Overview
The device AgoFototex AGF2B and AGF2 is installed on Circular textile machines with the purpose to
notice the breakup of the heads of the needles and to stop the production.
It is born as fusion of two instruments, the FM8/10 and the AG14. It in fact it unites the functionalities of
both allowing the analysis of the fabric produced for check of holes or dropped stitches (FM8/10) and
the survey of the breakup of needles hook (AG-14).
It is composes of:
•an electronic main unit AGF2 or AGF2B with display and keyboard, to which the other parts are
connected directly:
AGF2B
AGF2
•A magnetic sensor of precision, that is activated by a permanent magnet

•One or two optic needle scanner placed close to the hook of the needles and hold by special supports,
one optic needle scanner for each series of needles to be checked. These scanner serve to count the
number of needles hook .
•One Adapter module or amplifier which connect one or two optic needle scanners to the main. It act
as an electric and mechanic adapter and contain a trimmer-based sensitivity regulation .
•One optic head for the check of holes and dropped stitches in the produced fabric. The optic head is
placed directly onto the produced fabric to see holes and dropped stitches .

The magnetic sensor points out the conclusion of a turn to the main unit .
The microcontroller in the principal unit handles to count, to memorize and to verify the number of
present needles in two turns of the textile machine (two turns to increase tolerance ).
When the device individualizes some needles with the broken hook it points out on the display the
number and stops the loom.
The data and the settings of the tool can be protected with a secret code or password .
Technical characteristics

Main unit
The AGF2B main unit is smaller than AGF2 main unit, but it works the same way.
Also user interface and connections are the same , just two redundant key are removed.
There are two versions of AGF2B main unit :
1. One is the 'BLU' version , recognizable from blue paint on connector and from power-on message. This
BLU main unit use specific BLU-type optic heads, which are better then standard non-BLU ones .
2. The other is the non-BLU version , or normal one, just the standard type compatible with optic heads
previously used .
The present messages on the display vary according to the state of operation. When the loom regularly
turns the display it shows the message 'Counting.. .OK' and to the left it points out the present heads (up
to 4 heads). The count and the relative verify take place in two following turns of the textile machine.
What the tool shows after power on, without pressing keys, is called 'initial page.'
The principal functions of the keys are the followings :
•'Page' key used to flow the various visualizations or pages .
•Key 'R' , it restores the normal operation of the device after a block and if pressed for a long time
(6 seconds ) it disable the device.
•The keys '+', '- ', they serve for planning the data in the various visualizations or pages (delay arrest
needle, password...).
•The key 'C' on AGF2 and the key 'J' on AGF2B serve for planning the data in the various
visualizations or pages (delay arrest needle, password...).
•The key 'C' on AGF2 and the key 'J' on AGF2B also serves for memorizing the number of needles
to count when the instrument show the relative page.
•The key ‘J ' allows to enable or to disable the jump of the discarded initial needle. When the jump
is enabled the message ‘Jump ' appear in the inferior line of the display, this immediately
implicates the skip of the control of the zones of fabric following to the magnetic sensor . If the
present message is then ‘No J. ' , then the whole fabric is checked.
There are some connector in the lower side :
•the most left connector type DB9 must be connected to the optic head of the proper type ; connect
BLU type optic heads if the main unit is BLU type . Otherwise connect standard optic head if the
main unit is a normal or standard one.
•The middle connector must connect to the adapter module or amplifier, one or two optic needle
scanner are then connected to the adapter.
•To the most right connector type DB15 must be connected the power supply cable, furnished.

Magnetic Sensor and permanent Magnet:
Install the sensor on a firm part of the machine, in protected position from the bumps. Position the
magnet on a rotating part in such position to activate the sensor to every turn of the loom. The distance
between sensor and magnet has to be around 4 mm.
Pay attention to the obligatory polarity of the magnet.
Attention to the obligatory polarity of the agnet, and that the support is not vibrations subject!
The cable of the sensor finishes with a connector to insert in the circuit of command. If the sensor is
correctly installed it will be noticed on the display the writing 'Magnet! to the conclusion of every turn.
Please note that this magnetic sensor to be used with AG14 is a special one, different from FM8 or C8 's
magnetic sensors.
Adapter module:
It connects the optic needle scanner to the main unit and it is furnished with a regulation of sensibility for
each optic head .
The red and green lights ( LEDS ) present on its front serve for the regulation of the sensibility of the
heads, regulation to be performed during the installation.
Inside the adapter there are some dip-switches, two for each optic needle scanner . These dip-switches
must be set to 'ON' when the type of fabric produced is made with some very long voids between groups
of needles.
The switches 1 and 2 are used for the optic needle scanner 1, the switches 3 and 4 for the second one .
Then if there are some long voids on the optic needle scanner 1 try to put the switch 1 on ON, and if the
count is not correct try to put 1 and 2 on ON.
For the optic needle scanner 2 try to set on ON the switch 3 or the switches 3 and 4.
Therefore with total presence of needles, both in coasts 1:1, such switches will stay in the position OFF.
When inserting the heads into the form adapter it is necessary to respect the position of entrance of the
connector (stings red probe with point red form). Handle with care and avoid to force the connectors .

Optical heads:
The optic heads (probes) must be set with a lot of care in proximity of the head of the needles, and once
individualized the positioning (see underlying figure) their support must be held to avoid moves during
the workmanship.
The head of the probe must be placed so that it surmount the head of the needle to a distance that
depends on the type of used head:
For heads produced before 2007 the distance it has to be among 1,5 and 2,5mm.
For heads produced in 2007 the distance it has to be among 2 and 4mm.
Recognize the 2007 new heads from the date written on the connector, the date show week and year, this
way: 05-07
The dates week-year with second figure 07 (2007) or following means heads of the new type, that must
be set to 5mm apart from the needle.
The position of the probe has to favor the vision of the head but not the stem of the needle.
The present green lights on the adapter must partially have turned on when the probe surmounts the head
of a needle, and they have to be turned off when the probe point on an empty space between needle and
needle. (To make sure of this correct positioning make to advance the loom through hand lever or with
brief pressures on the button 'slow' or 'pulse').

Use of the main unit.
The instrument (device) is endowed with various pages that allow to plan all the necessary parameters
for a correct operation.
The various pages are flowed in sequence using the special key 'Page' having the sketch of the pages.
Here following the description of the various pages, where the pages can be recognized from the writing
on the superior line of the display.
Note that this description refers to the simplest situation or without foreman password, which is
described subsequently.
Page Description
Initial This page appears at power-on .
From the upper line it is possible to understand the state of the device;
•the writing appears 'Wait for Work' if the device doesn't receive the
signal of activity from the textile machine, because it is stopped, or
the wire is not connected
•the writing appears 'Magnet' if the magnetic sensor has given an
impulse, which is when a turn of the textile machine is finished
•the writing appears 'CountS =. OK' if there is the signal of activity,
the textile machine is regularly turning and the number of needles
match the programmed number .
To the left appear the number of optic needle scanner connected; if the
scanner is connected then appear its number, 1 or 2; if a dot appear the
corresponding scanner is not connected. For example:
“1.” mean that optical needle scanner 1 is connected
“.2” mean that optical needle scanner 2 is connected
“12” mean that optical needle scanner 1 and 2 are connected
In the lower line sensibility to holes and dropped stitches is visualized ,
shown as two numbers between 1 and 100:
•to the left the sensibility to the holes
•to the right the sensibility to the dropped stitches.
Such sensibilities can be modified through 2 couples of keys ‘- ‘and ‘+, sets
in proximity of the aforesaid numbers.
There is then the key ‘J ' that it allows to enable or to disable the jump of the
discarded initial needle. When the jump is enabled the message ‘Jump '
appear in the inferior line of the display, this immediately implicates the
skip of the control of the zones of fabric following to the magnetic sensor .
If the present message is then ‘No J. ' , the whole fabric is checked.

Page Description
Memory= It points out the number of needles memorized for each head. For every
head or probe it show her own number of needles to count and verify. This
page serves only to read such number (you cannot modify it here, but then in
other pages). This page repeats so many times how many the present
(connected ) probes are, if any.
CountS1=
CountS2= Here the device counts the needles for the suitable probe on the display and
visualizes the total number of it every 2 turns of the machine. When the
device shows this 'pages of installation' it doesn't verify the number of
needles (it doesn't stop the machine), but it count them and eventually
memorize the number. In fact pressing the key 'C' or 'J' the display writes
'MEMORIZZ', and the number of needles counted is set in 'memory needles'
for the visualized probe. This page repeats so many times how many the
present probes are.
Pressing the keys '-and '+' you can decreased or to increase the sensibility of
the optic needle scanner actually visualized. Such sensibility must be
measured while the textile machine turns, and planned to such a value that
one or two green lights have turned on. You can sometimes try to vary the
sensibility so that the number of needles counted is more correct, if the optic
needle scanner is correctly positioned .
OPTICAL HEAD
STOP AT x HOLES It allows to plan the number of holes of small dimensions to count before
stopping the machine. Choice happens through the keys ‘+ and ‘- ‘related to
the error hole.
AMOUNT OF HOLES It visualizes the total number of holes that have caused the stop of the machine.
Such number accumulates that due to the survey of holes of big dimensions with
that due to the attainment of the quantity of holes of small dimensions planned into
the preceding page. The number can be reset by the ‘R ' key.
STOP FOR LITTLE
HOLES .. It visualizes the total number of machine stop for little holes . The number can be
reset by the ‘R ' key.
AMOUNT LADDERS It visualizes the total number of machine stop dropped stitches. The number can be
reset by the ‘R ' key.
D. STITCHES STOP
NO BLINK /BLINK It allows to select if during the stop due to dropped stitches the output relay
is always active or intermittent at 50% duty cicle. This can help to recognize
the stop due to broken needle. Change option with 'C' or 'J' key.
NEEDLE NUMB.STOP
NO BLINK / BLINK It allows to select if during the stop due to needle number error the output
relay is always active or intermittent at 30% duty cicle. This can help to
recognize the stop due to broken needle. Change option with 'C' or 'J' key.
SPEAK
ENGLISH/ITALIANO Imposes the language (English or Italian or French). To application other
languages can be included.
