Safety
Permitted Uses
The MSF 3 storage feeder is designed solely for feeding
yarntotextilemachines.Anyotherusesarenotpermitted.
Themanufacturerwillnotacceptanyliabilityfordamages
resulting from non-permitted uses. The user is liable for
damages resulting from non-permitted uses.
Safety Precautions
The safety risks inherent in the equipment must be
reevaluated once it has been installed in the nal unit.
This equipment must only be operated by suitably quali-
ed and authorised personnel. Operators must receive
detailed instructions in the use of the equipment. Opera-
tors must be informed of any hazards related to the use
oftheequipmentandtheprotectivemeasuresnecessary.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that all instruc-
tions regarding the electrical installation, tting, operation
and maintenance are implemented.
Cautionisadvisedin theimmediatevicinityofthedevice.
Donottouchtheequipmentwhenitisrunning.Themoving
parts can cause injury. Turn off the unit before working
in this area. In the normal operating mode the unit can
start to operate without warning.
For your own safety wear safety footwear, a hair net, ear
protectors and close-tting clothing. Due to the increased
risk of injury, please do not wear loose hanging clothing,
such as ties, scarves, long hair, rings or other jewellery.
Only operate the device when it is problem-free.
Check the device for damage and other changes once
every shift. The device should not be operated if it is
damaged.
Do not carry out any cleaning when the knitting machine
is running. Before maintenance or servicing, switch off
and lock out the knitting machine. Take precautions to
prevent accidental or unauthorised start-up. The main
switch can be secured with a padlock so that it cannot
be switched back on.
Only qualied electricians working in accordance with
current electrical engineering practices and regulations
are permitted to perform installation and servicing.
Check that the operating voltage is within the permitted
range of the device and that there is a high speed (HS)
protection fuse for the knitting machine.
The device has electronic components which
are sensitive to interference from electrostatic
charges. Before you open the unit casing, you
shouldtakeprecautions topreventelectrostatic charges.
You can discharge any electrostatic charges beforehand
by touching a metal surface (e.g. the machine or the
knitting cylinder).
The power supply for the device must be taken from the
circularknitting machine.The powersupply tothe device
must be switched on and off from the main switch of the
circular knitting machine. This means that it can only
receive power when the machine is switched on.
Youmustdisconnecttheknittingmachinefromthepower
supply before moving it, however small the distance.
Reconnect the power supply before restarting.
The unit complies with the EMC Directive for use in
industrial environments.
The device should not be used in an area where there is
a risk of re or an area classed under European Direc-
tive 94/9/EC. Please contact MEMMINGER-IRO GMBH,
if you would like a product for this type of environment.

General Description
Function
The reeling device within the winding reel transports and
separatestheyarnwindingsmakingitpossibletoprocess
even the most difcult yarns.
The conical magnetic tensioner ensures a constant yarn
tension at the output.
Thehigh-performance,brushlessDCmotorismicroproc-
essor controlled. Sensors on the winding reel monitor
andcalculate theaverageyarn usagerateandadjustthe
motor speed to the yarn usage accordingly.
Features
►Yarn control on the winding reel using contactless
sensors to prevent yarn tension peaks. The MSF 3
operates continuously, without starting and stopping.
►The stationary winding reel eliminates the need for
extra yarn windings and can operate at higher yarn
speeds than those possible with rotary winding reels.
The yarn separation is 1 mm.
►Theadjustableconical magnetictensionerat theyarn
outfeedisanew,patenteddevelopment,whichmakes
it possible to work with a wide range of yarn tensions
and which can be used for all yarn types.

Installation
Connecting the contact cable
►Fix the contact cable (4) with cable ties (5) to the
feeder support ring (3) (3 to 10 mm thick, 25 to 30
mm wide).
The red wire (6) of the contact cable must be at the top.
The text (2) on the contact cable must be visible.
The contact cable must be positioned 3 mm below the
top edge of the feeder ring.
►Switchon the powersupply.Use a voltmeterto check
that the contact cable has been installed correctly.
Forstandardunits,thevoltagemeasuredbetweenthered
and blue wires must be 57 V DC ±10% when the knitting
machine is switched on. For reduced powered units the
voltage tested should be 35 V DC ±10%.
►Ensure that the polarity is correct.
►Insulate the ends of the cables using MEMMINGER-
IRO GMBH insulating caps 000-721-116 (1).

Fitting the at ring holder
► Screw the at ring holder (7) to the unit.
►Switch off the power supply.
► Fit the unit to the at ring (3).
The contact cable (4) must be located in the guide (9).
This is the only way of ensuring that the contact pins
(8) effectively make contact with the wire in the contact
cable.
NOTE!
Do not crush the contact cable during this
operation.

Installation
Fitting the round tube holder
►Screw the round tube holder (5) to the unit.
►Fit the unit to the round tube (6).
►Switch off the power supply.
►Clampthecontactcable(1)tothecontactbase.Screw
on the cable clamping plate (4).
The contact cable (1) must be located in the guide (2).
This is the only way of ensuring that the contact pins
(3) effectively make contact with the wire in the contact
cable.
NOTE!
Do not crush the contact cable during this
operation.
Function check
►Switch on the power supply.
► Check that the stop motion device operates ef-
ciently.
►Switch off the power supply.
►Install the remaining units.
►Switch on the power supply at regular intervals and
check the functional efciency of up to 10 units.

NOTE!
At low yarn tensions it is possible that no yarn
will be fed out.
►Movethestationarypieceofyarnawayfromthewind-
ing reel as shown.
The unit will then wind the yarn onto the winding reel.
Operation
Switching on
►Press the ON/OFF button (3) once.
The unit will check if there are enough yarn windings on
thewindingreel.Iftherearenotenough,themissingwind-
ings will be wound onto the winding reel automatically.

When the unit is ready for operation, the green LED (2)
lights up.
Switching off
►Press and hold down the ON/OFF button for at least
two seconds.
The green LED will switch off.
Threading
►Insert the threading needle (5) through the ceramic
eyelet (8) on the winding plate (7) until the threading
needle comes out through the inlet eyelet (6).
►Pull the yarn (4) through the unit using the threading
needle.
►Push the threading needle from below through the
tensioner (11) until you can see the threading needle
between the winding reel (9) and the tension cone
(10).
►Pull the yarn (4) through the unit using the threading
needle.
