Note: This instruction manual describes how to handle the tension controller LE-30CTN. Read this manual and manuals of relevant products before using the LE-30CTN, understand sufficiently the specifications of all products, and use them correctly. See to it that this manual is delivered to the end user.
For example, tension controllers are required not to cause electrical shock, fire and injury. Conformity to EC Directives (CE marking) The CE marking does not assure that the entire mechanical system manufactured using the LE-30CTN conforms to the following directives.
(*1) We recommend a control box in conformity to the EMC Directive. 2) Cautions on connection of tension detector and actuator The LE-30CTN has analog inputs and outputs, and is sensitive to noise. It should be handled and installed carefully.

• The actuator capacity is determined based on the "line speed × operating tension". The LE-30CTN tension controller, however, can set the higher tension than this operating tension. If such a high tension is set for operation, the actuator may be overloaded and burnd out.
11. Inspection and Maintenance 11.2 Maintenance 11.2 Maintenance 11.2.1 Periodical check • Periodically check the following items. [1] Check that the inside of the panel is not abnormally heated by a heat generating substance or direct sunlight. [2] Check that there is not any dust or conductive dust in the panel. [3] Check the wires and terminals for looseness and other problems.
• If fluctuations do not occur during manual operation, this is generally caused by high control gain set by the LE-30CTN tension controller. In this case, please adjust the control gain factor refer to Sec. 5.5. • Check that the output set for the OFF status of the [RUN] input signal is After replacement of the optimum for the reel diameter of the replaced material.
• Check that the voltage is approximately 5 VDC between the terminals [RED] and [BLK]. If no voltage is output, disconnect the wire, and check the voltage. No voltage is output after disconnecting the wire, the LE-30CTN tension controller is defective. If voltage is output after disconnecting the wire, the external wiring or the tension detector is defective.

• Powder clutches/brakes and tension detectors are not direct targets of the EMC Directive, but it is confirmed that the tension controller LE-30CTN combined with a powder clutch/brake and tension detector conforms to the EMC Directive. Machines and systems incorporating such products are regarded as targets of the EMC Directive, and should get attachment of the CE mark.
(6) Insulate circuits (so that noise is not conducted). 13.4.2 Control box design and EMC tests The LE-30CTN is so designed as to be incorporated in other equipment. Make sure to install it inside a control box (to assure safety, restrain noise radiation and shield noise).
* It is most important for achieving the electromagnetic compatibility to enhance the grounding of the control box main body. (10)Use a bus bar inside the control box only for the LE-30CTN. Install other bus bars inside the control box for noise-generating equipments such as inverter and servo amplifier.
