THE OUTPUT AMPLIFIER The output amplifier receives the signal from the PI section and amplifies it to the correct output signal level. This output level is shown on the indicator located on the front panel. INSTALLATION 1. For wall mounting, remove mounting feet from the controller base, then remove the rubber pads, and reinstall the mounting feet in the rear mounting holes This unit is an electronic instrument and...

CALIBRATION USING ONLY ONE SENSOR NOTE: It is not necessary to perform "No. 2 Span". 1. Make sure that Sensor is wired correctly (See ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, step 3), and that the NOTE: This completes the basic calibration of the Jumper Wire is placed between Terminals 1 and 5. Tension Controller.
TEST RUN After completing the Configuration and Calibration, a Test Run should be performed. Make the Test Run with the lowest tension web to be used in normal operation. The lower the tension in the web, the more sensitive it will be to system stability. If satisfactory control is achieved with a low tension web, there should be no problem with high tension webs.

4. Response speed, or sensitivity, of the Controller can Any residual instability or tension lag can be be adjusted with the Gain Controls. Gain should corrected with the Deviation Detection Circuit. This always be adjusted while the web is moving at circuit senses large scale deviations between actual normal processing speeds, as increases in response and set point tension, then increases the correction...

PROBLEM: Impossible to Achieve Span Adjustment 1. If the Tension Indicator varies proportionately to 3. If the Tension Indicator display is less than the tension changes, but Span Adjustment cannot be applied tension, and the Span Adjustment Pot is set made, the Tension Sensor is sized incorrectly, or the at maximum.
