TA1 TrueTension™ Load Cell Amplifier / Signal Conditioner
A low-cost, easy-to-use, tension load cell amplifier with simultaneous 0-10 VDC and 4-20ma signal outputs.
The TA1 TrueTension™ Amplifier is a compact, single-channel tension transducer interface. It can be used with DFE tension transducers (load cells) to monitor tension in any zone of web or filament processing machinery.
DFE’s Quik-Cal™ push-button zero and calibration eliminates pot adjustments and associated drift to make calibrating the TA1 simple, fast and reliable. Powered by 24 VDC, the amplifier boosts a millivolt-level tension signal from the tension transducer (load cell) and outputs an isolated 0-10 VDC and 4-20 mA proportional signal to a PLC, drive or display meter.
Built-in diagnostic capability quickly identifies faulty load cells, incorrect wiring, calibration issues and amplifier ADC/DAC failure. The compact size and ease-of-installation make the TA1 amplifier a natural choice for the OEM or end user seeking value in web tension monitoring or control applications.
