Eltex G3s Yarn Break Sensor INFO LEAFLET G3s is a yarn break sensor that uses piezoelectric technology to detect yarn movement (not presence) of all types of yarn in many different applications. G3s does not require a Central Control Unit, making it very cost effective. G3s is designed to detect yarn breaks on creels and other textile machines with up to 120 yarns. G3s is available with 8, 10 and 12 eyelets. G3s sensors can be connected together. The sensors can be connected to a PLC or many other electronic devices like relays, I/O modules, etc. When it is not possible to connect the sensors directly to the machine control (PLC), the Eltex Flexi-Hub can be used instead. See Flexi-Hub info leaflet TH-0366. • Operates without a traditional Central Control Unit • Cost effective • Robust • Works with a wide range of yarns • Not influenced by dust, humidity or ambient light Connection Each sensor has two 6-pole 6P6C modular connectors. Using modular cables, several sensors can be connected together and / or connected to a PLC or relay. • Simple and quick connection with modular connectors • One command learning • One command sensitivity adjustment • LED indication of active eyelets and status of the sensitivity setting Setting the sensitivity The sensitivity has 8 levels. With one command all connected sensors are adjusted at the same time. Learn command When the number of yarns in operation is changed, the active / inactive status of the eyelets can easily be set accordingly by activating the learn command. For sensors connected to a PLC, the sensitivity adjustment and the learning can be set from it. For sensors connected to a relay, external push buttons must be used. The sensitivity and learned status will remain in the memory until new settings are made, even when the power i

• Creels with up to 120 yarns • Braiding machines • Winding machines • Texturizing machines • Twisting machines • Many others… Typical connection to a relay Technical specification Power supply Current consumption Output function Opto-coupler output The opto-coupler is open when yarns are moving in all learned eyelet positions. The opto-coupler is closed when any of the learned eyelet positions do not have a yarn moving. Maximum load on output Sensors connected together 10 sensors max can be connected together. For machines with more yarns, we recommend the Eltex EYE-system. Eltex U.S.,...
