7.6   Output of contact when running out of materials
This contact output can be used to detect an abnormality 
such as material running out.
The contact output will be turned on when the detected 
tension is smaller than the set parameter.  When the pa-
rameter is set to zero, the contact output is OFF normally.
If an abnormality occurs in the internal program, this con-
tact output will be turned ON regardless of the settings or 
tension values.
The zero tension detection takes place with respect to the 
tension monitor display value.  The zero tension detection 
timing therefore changes depending on the tension display 
filter setting.
The capacity of the zero tension output contacts is as follows:
AC 250V 0.5A
DC 30V 0.5A
Connect loads matching with the capacity.
To use the zero tension output, set it on the "ZERO TNSN." screen within "TENSION" on the engineer 
screen.
7.7   Use for machines with frequent inching operation
This function is used to control the loss of tension by machine 
inching.
When this input is ON, the control output will not be smaller than 
the stall memory value.
• Use a micro signal switch commensurate with DC8V 4 mAas 
the input contact.
• Connect the inching signals to the terminal MC5 or MC6 set 
as follows.
• To set the inching function, use the "MC5" or "MC6" setting screen within "SWITCH" on the initial setting 
screen or the engineer screen.
