DLCA Digital load cell amplifiers
DLCA load cell amplifiers provide superior drift and linearity performance for maximum accuracy when measuring the tension of a moving web, wire, or strand.
Both products feature a gain adjustment range of 8:1, and a tare adjustment up to 50% of the combined load cell rating, giving you access to the entire tension sensing range of any load cell. The TSA offers selectable 115/230 VDC input and the LCA offers 24 VDC input.
Key Features:
- Process improvement through repeatable machine settings.
- Superior drift and linearity performance for accuracy.
- Selectable 0 to10 VDC, or 4 to 20 mADC analog output.
- Convenient DIN rail mounting.
DTR-65 Digital Tension Readout
The DTR-65 is an easy choice when needing a tension displayed on a machine panel with the option to also output a tension reference to a drive or PLC for remotely displaying or controlling tension.
A powerful and versatile panel-mounted digital amplifier used to display measured tension locally on a machine panel, the DTR-65 will multiply a millvolt tension signal to a usable 0 to 10 VDC and 4 to 20 mADC analog output.
The DTR-65 is an 1/8 DIN panel mount enclosure that is IP65 protected on the face. It incorporates ease of use and setup with a keypad and a four-segment display, fully programmable low pass filter for each output, tension alarm set points, quick and easy calibration, and even weightless load cell calibration.
Key Features:
-
- Small panel usage, 1/8 DIN enclosure (same as DTR)
- Setup and calibration through keypad and digital display
- Weightless load cell calibration
- Outputs and display have fully adjustable and separate digital filtering
- One push button for re-zeroing, with optional input for remote re-zeroing
- Alarm output for high tension or low tension or high or low tension
- Works with 5 and 7.5 volt excitation sensors with 1.5 to 100 mV/V signals
- 32:1 gain adjustment
- Automatic load cell diagnostics/fault indicator
- Powered with 24 VDC or 100 to 240 VAC
DTR Tension Readout
Accurate. Large Readout Interface. Easy to Install. The DTR Digital Tension Readout is an accurate digital readout for the measurement and display of tension in a moving web, strand, wire or narrow tape.
The DTR can be used with load cells to measure and display the web tension forces acting on any non-driven idler roll or sheave at any position where the wrap angle of the web does not change. The DTR Amplifies an electric signal from one load cell for a narrow web, or two load cells for a wide web, and displays the measurement tension on the four digit LED meter.
Adjustments for the roll weight, maximum tension, scaling of the 0 to 10 VDC output and decimal point location are conveniently located behind the snap-on front cover. The amplifier of the DTR has low drift and high linearity with a gain control range of 8:1 and tare adjustment of up to 50% of the load cell rating. An auxiliary 0 to 10 VDC or 0 to -10 VDC output is provided for interfacing to other products or systems.
Key Features:
- Precision tension meter for direct tension readout
- 8:1 calibration range
- Tare adjustment of 50% sensor rating
- Auxiliary 0 to 10 VDC or 0 to -10 VDC output
- Operates with either one or two sensors
- Easy to install and calibrate
- Improved productivity by eliminating operator dependency
- Improved quality through reproducible correct machine settings
IS-2 intrinsically Safe Web Load Cell Amplifier
The Model IS-2 amplifier provides intrinsically safe circuitry for UL Listed MAGPOWR load cells. It is specifically designed for safe, accurate measuring and controlling web tension in hazardous locations. When used with UL listed MAGPOWR load cells, the IS-2 is UL approved for Class I, Groups A, B, C and D; Class II, Groups E, F, G and Class III. This allows the load cells to be mounted directly in the hazardous area without air purging.
The IS-2 amplifier is compatible with all MAGPOWR UL listed load cells, tension readouts and tension controls. An auxiliary 0 to10 VDC analog signal proportional to tension is available for interfacing to other controls. A calibration range of 8:1 allows you to use the load cells at 1/8th of their capacity and maintain full-scale meter indication of total web tension. When used with MAGPOWR load cell cables, the IS-2 amplifier may be mounted more than 100 feet (30.5m) from the load cells.
Key Features:
- Rugged industrial enclosure
- Compatable with all UL listed MAGPOWR Load Cells
- 8:1 range adjustment. Use sensor at 1/8th of it's capacity and maintain full scale indication of total web tension
- Listed by UL for Class I, Division 1, Groups A, B, C and D; Division 1, Groups, E, F, and G and Groups III, Division 1
- Dual meter outputs for high and low range indication
