3 INFORMATION ON THE MANUAL
3.1 AIM OF THE MANUAL
This manual contains all instructions for the use and maintenance of the LOTO L measuring
machine. It is designed mainly for the machine operators as most of the information concerns the
controls and programs that must be run to obtain maximum performance from the equipment; it
therefore aims to instruct the end user re. correct use of the machine. However, as it is mainly a
measuring system, the manual also contains information on thickness and surface measurement
settings for the sole use of maintenance personnel.
3.2 LIMITS OF THE MANUAL
The equipment consists basically of electronic components designed and produced by the
manufacturer. Owing to their complexity and the fact that information concerning their construction is
confidential, they will not be discussed in detail in this manual but treated as machine assembly parts
(electronic cards) with their specific reference code. For more detailed information, please contact the
servicing center by fax or the manufacturer itself, specifying the characteristics of the equipment, the
reason for the request and position held by the applicant within the firm. The servicing center and/or
the manufacturer reserve the right to supply specific documentation at their discretion.
3.3 STORAGE OF THE MANUAL
This manual is considered an integral part of the machine and must be kept in a clean dry place. After
consultation, it must be put away carefully in an easily accessible place near the machine. Generally
the manual is consulted during the first month of operation of the machine; subsequently only the
summary sheet of commands given in enclosure N is used. You should not leave the manual on the
machine as it could be easily damaged or used incorrectly by other non-authorized personnel.
WARNING: in case of sale or transfer of the machine to other user, make sure that the manual
accompanies the machine always, to permit at the new owner to inquire on the operation and on the
relative warnings. The same affair also is valid in case of transfer of the activity without removal of the

but the following points must be observed:
1 During installation
Correct ROTATION DIRECTION of the conveyor as described in table A.
The LEVEL WITH POSITION of the measuring machine.
2 The general power supply must be the same value marked on identification plate with accepted
voltage variations within 10%. 4x1.5 mm NPI cable must be used (fire retarding) in
compliance with C.E.I. 20-22 standards. The power installed is 1 kW. If the power supply cable
is placed at less than 100 cm from power supply cables of other equipment with systems
controlled by electronic drives, shielded-conductor cable must be used. Provide a cut-off device
for the measuring machine power supply with 4A fuse protection. The cut-off device must be
sized for a minimum power of 1 kW.
IS IMPORTANT THAT THE EARTH CONNECTION.
3 Surface measurement controls must be performed at least once a day.
- Check daily that tests C1, C2, C4 and C5 are negative (i.e. that the system is working).
Using the sample surface disc, check at least once a day that measurement of the surface is
correct.
4 Ascertain that all the functions provided in chapter 6 have been correctly programmed.
4 APPLICATION
4.1 PURPOSE
This equipment has been projected for the surface measurement of finished skins with maximum
measurable thickness of 6,2 mm and maximum surface of 999 dm. Proper data processing allow to
manage the acquired data in order to make the system to be adaptable to the specific working
requirements and to obtain exact information regarding the skins data. This apparatus is therefore
destined to those firms that they have necessity of measure the surface of the skins having a complete
series of precise data like final result it is on the number that on the surface of each lot of skins.
4.2 REQUIRED PARTICULARITY
Being the method of skin transversal reading based on the principle of the bright beams infrared rays
interruption placed at 20 mm one by one by the skin, is necessary that the same is able to interrupt the
beam of light. The 'read' surface is, however, produced by the skin projection on the photocell bar
during the crossing in the reading group; if, for example, the skin has one side refolded on one self,
the relieved area will be small than the real one.
4.3 PERFORMANCE
As it consists basically of a microprocessor-controlled computer, the system is exploited via its
software capacities. Features:
^ Automatic or manual totals with: number of hides and total surface.
^ Memorization of up to a total of 16 million hides.
^ Signaling of errors automatically with acoustic warnings and display of messages.
^ Semiautomatic control of peripherals (printer, display, etc.).
^ Setting of data relating to the batch of hides to be measured (article, color, etc.).
In addition, the system is provided with:
^ Memory retention in the event of accidental power cut-off
^ 58 key keyboard with liquid crystal 80 character display
^ High intensity illuminated display of the hide surface
For the specific commands and use of the keyboard, refer to chapter Key board use of this manual.
4.4 APPLICATION LIMITS
The morphological characteristics of the hide are the main limitation to use of this equipment; it is
however necessary that it is not transparent, that the thickness doesn't overcome the 6 mm around
and that the rigidity is sufficiently low from allow to the same skin of adapt to the surface of the
conveyor. The maximum surface area that can be measured is 999 dm or 99.75 ft.
4.5 WORKING ENVIRONMENT
The equipment is made of steel coated in dual-component epoxy paint to provide a high level of
resistance to the humidity commonly found inside tanneries.
The whole system is constructed so that the electrical parts are protected from the water except for
the printer - here particular care must be taken as water can enter the computer via the paper tear-off
device.
The system is protected to IP40.
AVOID USING JETS OF WATER NEAR THE SYSTEM.
Environmental characteristics:
The operating temperature can vary from 0C to 45C.
Maximum relative humidity permitted is 80% from 0 to +30C, dropping to 65% at temperatures
between +30C and +45C.
The maximum altitude at which the system can operate must not exceed 1,500 metres.
4.6 INCORRECT USE
Correct installation of the system and specific application limit the possibility of incorrect use which in
any case is confined to incorrect installation or incorrect programming of the surface calculation
parameters (see chapter 7).
If the measuring machine is not operating, avoid using the conveyor for depositing hides or wooden
pallets which can weaken the mechanical structure. For the same reason you are advised not to
measure rigid material weighing over 80 kg and/or thick than 10 mm.
4.7 CHECK MEASURE
In equipment the machine has furnished a caliber sample realized in cloth polyester with circular form
and with surface of 65.0 dm. This caliber is definite "disk sample" since his surface has an excellent
stability both at the traction and at the temperature.
Is important verify at least once the day the correctness of the machine's measure. Consult the
normative ISO 11646 of the 1993 for the procedure of inspection measure.
Considering that the resolution of measure machine is tenth of square decimeter (dm/ 10), the GER
ELETTRONICA, in each case, suggests to proceed like follows:
Recall the screen "Q1" and set the measure unit in dm/10 ("C.MEAS.= 5");
Recall the screen "Q2" and set 10 the number of skins for package ("PRE-SELET1= 10");
Introduce the disk sample on the left side of the machine. The disk sample must be leaned
against on the skin introduction bench with the shinier side turned toward the bottom and
introduced under the measure wheels. Even if it doesn't provoke remarkable variations, don't hold
back the disk sample; it must be lets to flow during the measurement. Verifies that, during the
measurement of his central portion, doesn't get out of the external profile of the measure front .
Check the measure on the display that must be inside the lower limit of 64.6 dm and the superior
one of 65.4 dm (64,6<Area<65,4);
Measure for other 2 times, the disk sample always on the same point of the machine's measure
front;
Perform the same control in the central side of the machine for 4 times;
Shift the control in the right side of the machine and repeat the operation for 3 times;
At the end of the 10 measurements, has driven the total T1 that it allows automatically to check
the average of the measure on 10 examinations easily. The value of the total must be of 650 dm
with a lower variation at 0.2%. For possible variations at the setting machine, do reference to
the chapter "SETTING".
At the end of the operation, rearrange the total eliminating, from the memory, the total T1
executed with the tests of the sample disk; the order for this operation is: "Z1".
Set the measure unit and the skins number for package again respectively in the screens "Q1"
and "Q2".
In the case is in demand to perform an inspection during the measurement of a skins' batch, it could
be useful use the order in the screen "Q3" RECORDING=N. In this way has enabled the measure
without it is neither registered in memory neither printed on paper.
Proceed to the inspection of the disk sample measure and, at the end, restore the recording in the
screen "Q3" (RECORDING=Y).

5.2.1 SURFACE READING UNIT (DIS. A - DIS. C).
The bar of projection contains the emitters of light to infrared rays in relative number to the width of the
measuring machine. The led project bundles of light in vertical sense from the top toward the lower
part exactly above the photocells receivers, through the carpet that carries the skin ahead. These
photocells receivers, in absence of skin, are illuminated from the bundles of the corresponding
projectors to infrared. Each group of 8 photocells has lodged GER082M4. This card, in addition to
carrying the equipment for amplification of the photocell signal, contains a register to 8 bit that,
connected to the register of the following card, it allows a transfer serial of the photocells signals to the
LOTO processing box.
A special processing function causes the measurement to be incremented each time a photocell is
darkened and the encoder wheel has moved forward 1 cm.
5.2.2 LOTO BOX AND SUPPORT

INSIDE:
^ GER130M central unit card (DWG L); this
microprocessor-controlled card is the most important card in the machine. All the operating signals
arrive and depart from here. It is connected with 4 connectors. Two fronts ones receive from the
calibration card the power supplies and the alphanumeric display, keyboard and printer
connections. The two rear connectors it is connected to the output card (GER131B) which houses
the connectors and terminals.
^ GER132B calibration card (DWG I); this is a connection card. It houses the calibration selectors
(which will be examined in detail in the calibration section).
^ GER131B output card (DWG E ref. 12); this is a card connecting the GER130M central unit and the
electrical units outside the LOTO box. Inside it receives the voltages 220V + 24V + 12V from the
power supplies section. The acoustic warning device is also connected to it.
^ Power supplies section consisting of:
1) 150 VA multioutput transformer.
2) Rectifier bridge and capacitor to generate +24Vdc.
3) GER133 pullout card generating: +12V stabilized, +10V -10V non-stabilized, +5V stabilized.

In addition to its own function, the LOTO box support also houses all the electrical part for powering of
the LOTO box. In particular the motor speed electronic variator (see enclosure manual), the
emergency command circuit, the line fuses and mains connection terminals. In addition to the power
supply, the support also features the outputs of the cables which run from the LOTO box to the
connector block from which the conveyor sensor and surface reading unit are controlled.
5.2.3 SURFACE DISPLAY
This is a 4-figure illuminated display which shows the reading of the hide surface that has just been
measured and is positioned on board the LOTO box. Two leds indicate whether the measurement is in
square feet or square decimetres. If the measurement is in square decimetres the display will operate
with three figures without decimal point.
If the measurement is in square feet, the display will operate with four figures and decimal point in the
middle. The figures after the point indicate the square foot fractions.
00 = no fraction 25 = Ft 50 = Ft 75 = Ft
THE DISPLAY UNIT CAN WORK IN TWO MODES:

MODE 1: The display starts from zero and reads the area increments instant by instant during
measurement. It holds the total for 10 seconds after the end of the measurement and
then resets to zero.
MODE 2: The display is updated at the end of the measurement, each reading being visible until
the successive measurement is completed.
5.2.4 PRINTER
Printer: impact alphanumeric type with 40 columns. It accepts
ordinary 76 mm wide paper reels. If the paper jams or you need to
replace the ribbon, simply remove the Plexiglas cover by pressing it
towards the front panel in order to release it from the fixed part.
it has connected by RS232 to the LOTO box (sees enclosed
schemes); the power supply is at 230Vac.
CAUTION: only use ribbons supplied by the manufacturer.
Other types of ribbon can cause breakage of the
printer head. The printer guarantee will not apply in
the case of damage due to the use of unsuitable
ribbons.
The printer receives the data through the serial connection RS232 with the LOTO box; the power
supply has obtained by an apposite 230V~ current intake placed on the side of the machine.

IMPORTANT: Not connecting with other apparatuses to the above-said intake of current.
For any reference at the maintenance of the printer, see the specific
enclosed handbook.
5.2.5 STAMPING UNIT
It has the purpose to transcribe, on the lower side of the skin, the measured area. The method of
stamping adopted on this model of measuring machine, allows to drive the descent of the piston in an
independent way from the moment of the end measure. All the specific technical above the operation
or up the examination of the stamping unit, have reported in the specific enclosed manual.
6 INSTALLING THE MEASURING MACHINE
6.1 PACKAGE
The measuring machine construct by GER Elettronica S.r.l., could be sends gets off or already
assembles (depends by dimensions), according to the destination and by contractual specific accords.
6.2 TRANSPORT AND RELOCATION
IMPORTANT: Is recommended that the unloading from the truck has made lifting the machine with
carts elevators introduced in the apposite centers marks from this symbol. When is
necessary shift the machine inside of the building, always proceed and in each case,
lifting the machine on the marked supports. If for reasons of space is necessary often
proceed at the relocation of the machine, is opportune supply to apply the self a
system of support wheels with brake that could be furnished by GER ELETTRONICA.
6.3 POSITIONING
The measuring machine must be positioned so that there is sufficient space at the outlet to easily
distribute the hides on the pallet. If possible avoid places very near to the drums as the machine could
be subject to a high level of chemical aggression. Also avoid areas which are sometimes sprayed with
water or near systems which are washed with pressurized water. If this is not possible, extreme care
must be taken not to expose the parts of the measuring machine (especially the printer) to jets of
water (or other) under pressure (e.g. hydro cleaners).
The LOTO box must be positioned beside the measuring machine on the side which is best protected
both from collisions with forklift trucks and jets of water. Despite a method of reading at modulated
light allows to filter the light environment, is opportune avoid that the reading bar results illuminated by
solar light or by lamps (neon) that would can, in extreme cases, preclude the functioning of the
measuring machine.
6.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The main part of the system is the LOTO box where all the signals and power supplies arrive and
depart. Figures H and D show the main connections of the peripherals to the LOTO box. Fit the
connector block to the left of the machine and identify the connection cables by means of the
following:
1st Connect the receiver bar. Connect the 9-way connector ;
2nd Connect the projector bar with the two wires 21 and 19 ;
3rd Connect the encoder wheel cable. The aim is to ensure that the magnetic sensor fitted on the
side of the speed detection wheel (figure A ref. 1) transmits to the LOTO box an impulse
approximately every 10 mm of hide feed. The front of the control box features a red led marked
CONV which lights up when the metal part of the encoder disk (die-cast inside) is in front of the
sensor head. This type of sensor has a maximum detection distance of 2 mm and must therefore
be regulated, to ensure correct operation, at 1 mm from the encoder wheel. The LOTO box
controls both impulse edges thus obtaining reading of the photocell bar every 10 mm of hide feed.
Fix the position of the sensor by tightening the jam nut and check, by rotating the encoder wheel
manually, that the CONV led blinks regularly.
BLINKING OF THIS LED IS IMPORTANT FOR OPERATION OF THE EQUIPMENT.
4th Link up the cable of the stamper. If inserted already into the chain plastic guide-threads, fix the
chain either at the cart of the stamper since a side as at the beam since the other. In the case that
the chain has already fixed, insert the cable of the stamper after have completely wide (without
curves) the chain self.
5th Connect the emergency button cable.
6th Connect the motor cable.
7th Connect the power supply cable entering the LOTO box support. The electrical connection is
made via the terminals in the support. Check that the machine power supply voltage corresponds
to the factory power supply voltage. For connection to the power supply line, use 4x1.5 mm NPI
cable. If the distance exceeds 10 meters or if the cable runs alongside other motor power supply
cables (especially if controlled by drives) you are advised to use 4x1.5 mm

shielded-conductor
cable.
6.5 SWITCHING THE EQUIPMENT ON
Set the MAIN BREAKER to position 1 (A) and press the button of
"MAIN PUSH BUTTON" (B): the LOTO box acoustic warning signal
emits two brief sounds, the monitor comes on showing the operating
screen and the 3 leds signaling +24 +12 and +5 should all be on at
the same intensity. Press the black button START MOTOR (C). The
conveyor rotates correctly if the direction shown in figure A is
observed. If the conveyor does not rotate, check the connection with
the emergency button and/or that it is in the released position. If the
direction is wrong, disconnect the power supply line and invert the
wires of 2 phases in the motor terminals. At switch-on, the measuring
photocells are automatically tested. If some photocells are wrongly illuminated, the acoustic warning
signal will indicate this by emitting an intermittent sound for approximately 20 seconds. An error
message will also be automatically displayed generally indicating which photocell is not working.
The LOTO box is provided with three 1.5V 14x50 alkaline torch batteries. The purpose of these
batteries is to retain the data of the hides measured and the working parameters in memory when
there is a power failure and the equipment cuts out.
VERY IMPORTANT:
With the machine and battery switched off (or with the BATTERY button pressed) for at least 30
seconds, when the measuring machine is powered, the microprocessor performs a TOTAL RESET of
the memory and preloads certain parameters which permit the measuring machine to operate. If the
battery remains on (with the equipment switched off) when the measuring machine is powered, the
microprocessor performs a PARTIAL RESET retaining the measurement data and preloaded
parameters.

7.2 PROGRAMMING FRAMES
The Programming frames are text pages, displayed on the alphanumeric display, containing data.
Such data can be modified according to the manufacturing needs, or can be of display only.
There are Programming frames, mainly identified with the letter "Q", plus other frames related to the
count modifications of the leather and stamping of the data related to the customer.
To recall a frame it is sufficient to press the letter corresponding to the command to introduce
(example Q) followed by the character related of the page to be displayed (example 1).
The information and parameters existing inside each frame can be disposed on various lines of which
only two of them can be seen per each session, (LCD display 40x2); with the keys and it is
possible to scroll the text disposed on various lines. The presence of lines under or above the current
screen is characterized by the symbol to indicate that there are subsequent lines and by the
symbol to indicate that there are previous lines.
The purpose of the keys and is to modify the field LIST-BOX on which there is the cursor. The
fields LIST-BOX are input characterized by the possibility to choose between values already pre-
programmed.

T3: 0000 #LEATHERS= 0 SUP. 0000
T4: 0000 #LEATHERS= 0 SUP. 0000
This frame allows the only display of the four totals of the measurements performed. In case during its
display other leathers have been measured, the window shall be automatically updated.
7.2.2 FRAME Q1
It is recalled pressing in sequence the keys <Q> <1> .
Such frame allows to set the unit of measure desired with which it shall be displayed and printed the
result of the measurement.
MAIN MEASURING UNIT: m2 -Y
SECONDARY MEASURING UNIT: ft2 -Y
FOOTS AREA 30.48 -N
The units of measure can be modified in:
m2 Square meters
Ft10 Square feet with resolution to the tenth of foot
Ft2 Square feet with resolution to the quarter of foot
Inch2 Square inches
Dm10 Square decimeters with resolution to the tenth of decimeter
Dm2 Square decimeters

The programming of Y or N after the unit of measure, allows to enable or not the print the unit of
measure on the heading of totals.
It is possible to perform exclusively in print phase the conversion of the measurement performed, in
a unit of measure different from the one programmed by setting the SECONDARY UNIT OF
MEASURE.
If it is selected an imperial unit of measure (square feet) it is possible to set the size of a side of the
square foot operating on the data FOOTS AREA; the measure can be: 30.48 30.00 28.00. As on
the two previous programming, it is possible to enable or not the print of the value programmed in the

ENABLING PRINT T1 ON FICHES = -Yes
ENABLING LEATHER PROGRESSIVE = -No
SETTING PROG. NUMBER LEATHERS 0
MAXIMUM LEATHER SURFACE = 9.99
PRESELECTION T1: here it is set the number of the leathers to have the total T1 automatic(from 2
to 1990).
NOTICE T1: with this variable you set the intervention of the acoustic signaler according to the
number of leathers missing before the closing of the total T1 previously set. if, for example,
you set 5, the acoustic signaler shall indicate the end of the total T1 5 measurements before
the end of the packet.
NUMBER LEATHERS PER LOT: you set a number of leathers ; if it is reached, an acoustic signal
is commanded. The count of the leathers is related to the total T2 and T1.
LAST T1 CLOSED: You set the number of the last packet closed. Normally the numeration is
automatic; it may be useful, with this programming, to start a numeration of the packet
different from the automatic one. This programming is not enabled if a total T1 is open.
ZEROING ON T2? Programming Y the execution of the total T2 causes the zeroing of the
counter of the T1; in this way the first total T1 after the total T2, is the n1. Programming N ,
the execution of the total T2 does not cause the zeroing of the counter of the T1; in this way
the numbering of the T1 continues in a sequential way up to a maximum of 999999 and then
restarts from 1.
ENABLING PRINT T1 ON FICHES Activates (Yes) or deactivates (No) the print of the total T1
on the printer.
ENABLING PROGRESSIVE LEATHER Activates (Yes) the progressive numbering of the leather
without zeroing up to 99999. Programming No, the numbering of the leather is zeroed at
each closing of the total T1.
SETTING NUMBER PROG LEATHER If you activated "No" on the previous parameter, this input
allows to start the numbering from a desired value.
MAXIMUM LEATHER SURFACE You set a surface threshold besides which it is signaled the
error of *** OVERFLOW ***; this programming is useful to check the measure of the leathers
when, for any reason, the machine remains IN MEASURE between a leather at another.

remembering that the reading front is far from the zone of central stamping about 60 cm.
ENABLE: N:
Allows to enable or not the operation of the central stamper. Pressing the key <N> it is disable
the stamper, pressing the key <S> it is enabled.
AUXILIARIES STAMPING TO HEAD:
In the stampers with two heads of print, it is possible to enable one of three options for the
operation of the second head:
None not activated; it operates only the first head of print with the writing of the
surface of the leather;
Area sec. Activates the second head to stamp the area of the leather expressed in the
second unit of measure (see Q1);
Code Activates the second head to stamp the characters programmed in the next
input(code for stamping).
CODE FOR STAMPING:
In this frame you program a code by 4 alphanumeric characters (6 for stamper ZIP) which shall
be stamped on the leather together with the surface measured. Normally the stamper uses the
system by 7 segments for the writing of numbers and then not all the letters have the
characteristics to be stamped on the leather. In case of setting of letters not to be stamped, it
shall be displayed an error message. The letters to be stamped are:

ENABLING LOGO STAMPING:
(Only for the stamper ZIP) Setting S it is enabled the heating of the marks in the stamper. The
temperature is automatically adjusted on board of the stamper and the advancement of paper it
is commanded in alternated way (short/long) to optimize at maximum the consumption.
DISTANCE FROM BOARD LEATHER:
You set in centimeters the distance of stamping from the board of the leather. Increasing this
value, the stamping is made more internally on the leather.
ENABLING STAMPING OF CHOICES:
Programming S, on the leather, near the surface, it is stamped the choice set in the frame W.
According to the type of stamper we have:
STAMPER ZIP a number for the numeric representation (06) of the choice;
TRADITIONAL STAMPER six horizontal segments superposed; the number of stamped
segments represents the choice set.
PHOTOCELL 1 (2) COMMAND STAMPER:
The signal of reference with which the stamper is commanded, can be determined by external
photocells or by photocells of the same measuring front. In the second case, it is possible to
program the two photocells, one on the right and the other on the left, in line with the head of
print of the stamper.
DURATION OF CONVEYOR STOP:
(Present only in the prearranged machines) During the phase of stamping, it is possible to stop
the belt of transport to obtain a stamping with the leather stopped and keep it well extended.
You set the time in seconds of duration of the belt stop.
ENABLING COMMAND FOR LEATHER RETENTION:
There is the possibility that the code of the leathers is still in phase of measurement while the
point of stamping has already passed under the stamper. Activating this function (Yes), the
piston of stamping is commanded in any case on the point forecast, retaining the leather until
the completion of the measurement. At the end of the writing, the leather is released.
Deactivating this function (No), if the point of stamping exceeds the stamper before the end of
measurement, the sequence of stamping is interrupted avoiding in this way to stamp externally
to the leather.

number set in the frame Q1. At maximum there are 1990 leathers.
7.3.3 OPERATING COMMAND T2, TC2, TM2, TP2 E TCP2.
The command prints the list with the sum of the totals "T1" measured after the last recall of the total
"T2". If programmed in the frame Q8, the total shall print data divided by type of parameter selected
in Q8. Performing the command TC2, it is printed for the second time the list of the total T2 just
closed. The total T2 normally is manual; it automatically triggers when exceeding 250 totals T1.
Performing the command TM2, it is printed the list of the total T2 without provoking the zeroing
allowing thus to have a partial total (temporary). The total TP2 and its copyTPC2 are totals which
allow to extract data from the T2 filtered for the first variable enabled in the frame Q8. If, for example,
the first S in Q8 is on the CODE, with the command TP2, you perform a print of the packets divided by
code. ATTENTION: once performed the command TP2, the packets printed are removed from the total
T2 and shall not be available for the following totals T2.

7.4.4 CHECK C4.
It is obtained pressing in sequence the key "C" and "4".
This command displays sequentially on the display, on each digit, all numbers from 0 to 9. Only the
lower digit of surface displays alternatively 0 and the 5.
7.4.5 CHECK C5
This command allows to perform a test of efficiency of the memory RAM installed in the computer.
TEST SWITCH. ABC: 296 D: 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1
EF: 20 GHI: 000
If there are problems with the memory, it is generated an acoustic intermittent signal of notice; if the
memory operates regularly, it s displayed the configuration of the internal calibrations made on the
card GER132B.
7.4.6 CHECK C6
This command allows to display the speed of the measuring machine calculated as an average in 10
seconds of time.
AVERAGE WHEELS SPEED: 43.12 MT/MIN

8 CALIBRATION
8.1 INTERNAL CALIBRATIONS
These are normally set up by GER and concern the type of measuring machine and particular
functions to be obtained. They can be accessed by removing the LOTO box cover.
8.1.1 CALIBRATIONS ON THE GER132B CARD
The calibrations made on this card become operative only after switching off the measuring
machine and for some parameters after performing a GENERAL RESET. The card is located
inside the LOTO box.
^ DECIMAL SELECTORS A-B-C
These allow you to calibrate the surface measurement according to the diameter of the conveyor
drive roller. This is an important calibration as it establishes the accuracy of the measuring
machine. GER performs and records the calibration in the test report.
A = Selector with greatest effect (approx. 10% per step)
B = Selector with average effect (approx. 1% per step)
C = Selector with least effect (approx. 0.1% per step)
^ SELECTOR D-1
In the OFF position the stamping command is generated by the LOTO box.
In the ON position the stamping command is given by an appropriate photocell before the
stamper.
^ SELECTOR D-2
In the OFF position the tail stamping command is preset.
In the ON position, the head stamping command is preset.
^ SELECTOR D-3
In the OFF position the LOTO box is preset for ordinary measuring machines with conveyor.
In the ON position, the box is preset for measuring machines with hide tendering by means of
wheels.
^ SELECTOR D-4
The ON position gives access to the Q6 screen for stamper control.
The OFF position disables access to the Q6 screen for stamper control.
^ SELECTOR D-5/6/7
They allow the setting out program operation language like by following table:
DIP-SWITCH
5 6 7
LANGUAGE
OFF OFF OFF ITALIAN
ON OFF OFF ENGLISH
OFF ON OFF SPANISH
ON ON OFF PORTUGUESE
OFF OFF ON DUTCH
ON OFF ON GERMAN
OFF ON ON FRENCH

- SELECTOR D-8
In the machines at conveyor (D3=OFF) it, in ON position, activates the functioning of measure with
two wheels encoder for the speed survey.
In the machines at conveyor (D3=OFF) it in OFF position activates the functioning of measure with
an only encoder for the speed survey.
- SELECTOR "E" e "F".
Imposed the useful width of the measure front expressed in number of wheels or cards bar. Every
card monitors eight photo-transistor.
- SELECTOR G-H-L.
In the machines at conveyor with increase skin's speed during the measurement, (es.: on press)
imposed the second measure area setting in function of the measurement final speed. Like for the
selectors A, B and C, it is one important setting because it decides the precision of the measuring
machine. The GER effects and records this setting on bulletin of testing.
G= Selector at better effect; (approximately 10% per step)
H= Selector at middle effect; (approximately 1% per step)
L= Selector at lesser effect; (approximately 0.1% per step)
8.1.2 BRIGHTNESS TRIMMER
It regulates the contrast of the characters in the alphanumeric display. It is located on the GER132B
calibration card and can be accessed from the inside of the LOTO box.
8.1.3 TRIMMER "INTENSITY PROJECTORS"(DIS. E RIF. 27)
It stabilizes the voltage of power supply of the bar projectors and allows moreover to adjust the bright
intensity. It is accessible removing the rearward cover of the LOTO box.
Normally this trimmer has set at approximately half of his excursion to obtain the correct intensity of
light given out from the bar projectors; nevertheless in case of necessity (very dusty skins) could be
necessary increase the intensity rotating this trimmer in clockwise direction.
Rotating the trimmer in sense counterclockwise the intensity of light is reduced that could result
necessary in the measurement of particular skins with thin thickness..

9 MAINTENANCE
9.1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
As with all machines, the measurer may become less efficient with use. For correct measuring, it is
very important to maintain machine efficiency. This chapter aims to instruct the operator so that he can
perform all the controls and work necessary to ensure correct operation of the measuring machine.
9.1.1 CLEANING THE PHOTOCELL BAR
The beginning of operation of the measuring machine is based on the obscuring of the photocells set
under the threads of the carpet to the passage of the skin. That's why motive therefore is good norm
proceed to the cleaning of the front of measure once a week with a rag of damp cotton of water.
The "P.P." led place in the measure display points out, when it has lit, that at least a photocell results
darkened. The flash with this led in absence of skin, generally points out the need to proceed to the
cleaning of the bars of reading.
9.1.2 CONVEYOR ROLLER BEARINGS
These are fitted in the cast iron supports located at the ends of the conveyor rollers. The bearings are
provided with lithium-based grease. In normal working conditions they do not require any
maintenance. They must be re-lubricated only if operating in very damp or particularly dirty conditions
or if they have to work for long periods at high speed. The bearings can be relubricated via a grease
hole in the support. For lubrication use a lithium-based grease (SKF LGMT2). The grease must not be
injected too energetically in order not to damage the protections.
9.1.3 TRANSMISSION CHAIN
It transmits movement from the speed reducer to one of the conveyor rollers. In normal working
conditions, it does not require any maintenance but if necessary suitable aluminium greases can be
used for lubrication, e.g. VALIANT Seri ATAZ/0 lubricant.
9.1.4 DAILY CHECKS
Another important procedure is to perform the daily checks given on the equipment serial number
plate. These consist of five control commands which the computer will carry out to check the following
peripherals:
C1 = Photocell reading bar.
C2 = Alphanumeric printer.
C3 = Stamper.
C4 = Measuring display.
C5 = RAM memory.
9.1.5 REDUCTION GEAR OF SPEED
The reduction gear has already furnished of lubricating grease. For a possible addition of lubricating,
only in the section reduction gear, use a fluid grease to long duration for gears. (greaset IP Atina "0",
TOTAL Calindris "O", ESSO FiberGrase 370). Check the level of the grease at least once each six
months (around 1000 hours of job).
9.2 REPAIRS
IMPORTANT: Any repair work must be carried out by specialist or adequately instructed personnel
and after informing either the manufacturer or servicing centre.
For greater simplicity, work is divided into the following two areas:
1) Reading bar
2) LOTO box

9.2.1 READING BAR
Correct operation of the reading bar is indicated by the P.P. led on the measuring display. The led
comes on to indicate that at least one photocell is receiving sufficient light from the projector bar. In
practice the P.P. led is always off and comes on only when the hide is present over the photocell bar
during measurement.

POSSIBLE FAULTS REMEDIES
- The P.P. led on the measuring display is
always on or comes on repeatedly even
when there is no hide under the reading
bar.
^ Check that above the bar photocells there are not
pieces of skin or other material. Check the threads
of transport of the conveyor.
- When the measuring machine is switched
on, a repetitive acoustic signal is
generated with a photocell fault message.
^ This happens because at switch-on the obscured
photocells are automatically checked.
1) Check that the conveyor is clean as above.
2) Check the power supply voltage; in particular
the +12Vdc between terminals 1 and 2 at the
rear of the LOTO box.
3) Check the bar connection cable.
- One of the hide measurements is
periodically skipped (display and printing)
and the next hide is recorded with a
surface increased by a value similar to the
surface of the previous hide.
^ The problem is on one of the reading bar cards.
Repeatedly perform a PARTIAL RESET, switching
the measuring machine off and then on again.
Every time it is switched on, a bar test is performed.
Replace the receiver bar card indicated on the
LOTO box monitor.
- The P.P. led is always on and the hides
are not measured and/or an acoustic alarm
signal is generated with the message
***OVERFLOW*** on the alphanumeric
display.
^ Check the unit measure on the Q1.
- The P.P. led comes on periodically and
inexistent hides with very small surfaces
are displayed, printed and stamped.
^ This means that the photocell bar is reading
something on the conveyor or that one of the bar
cards is not working. Perform a PARTIAL RESET
as above.
- The hide passes under the measuring bar
but the P.P. led does not come on and the
hide is not measured.
^ Check the encoder sensor.
^ Perform a GENERAL RESET: switch the
measuring machine off and press the BATTERY
button for 30 seconds.

9.2.2 LOTO BOX
Chapter 4 contains the description of all the parts of the LOTO box which is the main and most
complex part of the equipment. To streamline work, the commonest faults are given in the column
PROBLEMS and the commonest solutions in the column REMEDIES. The following five areas are
distinguished:
1) Printer
2) Power supplies
3) Keyboard
4) Monitor
5) Other work
9.2.2.1 Printer
The printer receives the data through the serial connection RS232 with the LOTO box; the power
supply has obtained from an appropriate currents plug at 230V~ set on the side of the machine.
IMPORTANT: don't connect with other apparatuses to the above-said currents plug.
For any reference to the maintenance of the printer, see the manual specific enclosure.
9.2.2.2 Power supplies
NOTE: The LOTO box is tested for power supply voltages that can vary by 15% with respect to the
220V~. This voltage must therefore be checked. It is also important to check that the external
system protection connection (PE) is present.
PROBLEMS CAUSE REMEDIES
- The 3 leds on the
LOTO front panel are
off.
+ No power
supply.
^ Check the 2A fuses of the 220V~.
- The +24 and +12
leds are off.
+ +24 fuse. ^ Check the 6.3A fuse of the +24.
- +12 led is off. + Short circuit. ^ Disconnect all the connectors on the back of the
box to identify which terminal has short-
circuited.
- +5 led is off. + +5 fuse. ^ Check the 2A fuse of the +5.
9.2.2.3 Keyboard
All the alphanumeric keys (i.e. excluding the CNT, SHIFT keys) are served by the acoustic warning
device and can be controlled by recalling the screen I00). If you hear a beep when you press a key, it
means that the keyboard is probably working and the problem is elsewhere (GER130M or
alphanumeric display).
- One or more keys
are not working.
+ Keyboard
+ Program
+ GER130M
^ Perform a GENERAL RESET
^ Check the cables and/or replace the keyboard.
^ Replace the GER130M central unit.
9.2.2.4 Monitor
By monitor we mean the liquid crystal display on board the LOTO box which permits programming of
the parameters and equipment data. It is connected via the GER132B card directly to the
microprocessor data bus and a fault in the monitor can therefore bring operation to a standstill.
- The characters cannot be read
easily.
+ Display ^ Replace the display.
- A black line appears on the
1st line but the machine
works.
- A black line appears on the
1st line and everything is
blocked.
+ Program
blocked
^ Replace the display.
- There is no background
illumination.
- Contrast not good. + Regulation ^ The trimmer located on the GER132B
card must be adjusted.
9.2.2.5 Other work
- The CONV led does not
blink.
+ Encoder
sensor.
^ Check that the detection distance is
approximately 1.0 mm.
^ Replace the sensor.
- The surface indicator
display is not working
regularly.
+ Measuring
display.
^ Replace the GER129E card on board the
LOTO box.
^ Check that the D8 DIP SWITCH on board the
GER132B card is in the ON position.
- The acoustic warning
device does not work.
+ Acoustic
warning
device.
^ Replace the acoustic warning device.
^ Check the electrical connection.
^ Replace the GER130M central unit.
