10.4   Unintended operation
Check the abnormality of the major components during trial operation and adjustment and during actual op-
eration using the following procedure.
Item Problem Disposal
Power 
supply
When the POWER 
switch is turned ON, 
the POWER LED is 
not lit. 
• 
Make sure the supply voltage between the terminals [PSL] and [PSN] is 
100 to 240VAC (+10% to -15%), 50/60 Hz.  If this value is not correct, 
perform the correct wiring.                    
• 
The fuse may be melted by insertion of foreign objects or abnormal loads. 
If simply replacing the fuse may not solve the problem. Contact our ser-
vice department.    
Tension   
display 
and 
abnormal 
tension
On the display, the 
tension value or the 
unit of the tension 
flashes.
• 
The tension signal from the tension detector is too high. The applied 
load may exceed the rated load of the tension detector.  Lower the ten-
sion set value.
• 
Check the rated load of the tension detector.  If no problem is detected, 
increase the full-scale tension value. (After changing the full-scale ten-
sion value, be sure to tune the zero point and the span.)
When restarting after 
stopping the mate-
rial, the tension read-
ing goes beyond the 
scale from the begin-
ning.
• 
Turn ON or OFF the [MC1] input signal depending on the run/stop status 
of the machine .  If the [MC1] input signal is kept at on status, restarting 
operation may send out the maximum control output, and an extremely 
high tension may be applied.
• 
When stopping the machine, if the turning-OFF timing of the [MC1] input 
signal is delayed, the control output may be extremely increased, and 
an extremely high tension may be applied at starting operation.  To pre-
vent this problem, be sure to turn OFF the [MC1] input signal when 
stopping the  machine.
The output increases 
while the machine 
halts.
• 
The [MC1] input signal may not be turned OFF.
• 
While the machine is stopped, be sure to turn off the [MC1] input signal.
After replacement of 
the material, an 
extremely high or low 
tension is applied.
• 
Check that the output set for the OFF status of  the [RUN] input signal is 
optimum for the reel diameter of the replaced material.
• 
Reset the stall memory.
Fluctuating tension 
control
• 
Check whether similar fluctuations occurs during manual operation.
• 
Fluctiations during manual operatinon is generally caused by changes in 
tension as a result of machine vibration ,mechanical loss,etc. In this 
case please check the machine.
• 
If fluctuations do not occur during manual operation, this is generally 
caused by high control gain set by the LE-40MTA-E tension controller. 
In this case, please adjust the control gain factor refer to Sec. 7.5.
Actuator
Output cannot be      
obtained in the man-
ual mode.           
• 
Make sure that the OUTPUT ON/OFF switch is turned on.                   
• 
When 0 to 24 V output is obtained between the terminals [P] and   [N] by 
the manual torque setting, check the wiring to the powder clutch/brake. 
When no abnormality is detected ,  the clutch/brake is defective or se    
lected inappropriately. 
• 
If the output voltage is not obtained in the no-load condition when the   
power is changed from off to on ,the LE-40MTA-E is defective.
  If the short-circuit protection  function between the terminals [P] and [N] 
is actuated, the unit becomes the normal condition when the wiring   is 
corrected and the power is turned on again. 
• 
If 0
~
5V output is not obtained between the terminals[SA] and [SN]  and 
the terminals [NRO] and [AOC], remove the external load (1k
Ω
 or more) 
and check whether 0
~
 5V is obtained.                                      
• 
If 4
~
20mA output is not obtained between the terminals [EAP] and 
[EAN] , remove the E/P regulator (470
Ω
 or less),connect the ammeter 
between the  terminals [EAP] and [EAN] , then check whether 4
~
20mA 
output is obtained. 
• 
While the memory cassette is attached, the control output is not gener 
ated.
