Check the system as per the following procedure if the zero/span adjustment would not complete.

Input signal
The contact signal 
and the analog volt-
age signal are not 
input properly.
• Compare the ON/OFF status of the input contact signal with the sta-
tus shown on the monitor screen.  In addition, check the input contact 
for poor contact.  If the input signal is properly turned ON and OFF 
but the ON/OFF status is not displayed on the monitor, the LE-
40MTA-E tension controller is defective.
• Compare the voltage of the analog input terminal with the voltage val-
ue displayed on the monitor.  Also check that noise is not influencing 
the input line.
Others
Material gets loose 
during acceleration 
or deceleration.
• 
The material tends to get loose if the acceleration/deceleration time    is 
too short or the material inertia is too high.  Use gain 1 or gain 2 to   
compensate the inertia during acceleration and deceleration.
Material is displaced 
or gets too tight dur-
ing winding.
• 
The taper control is recommended.

Tension 
detector
Zero adjustment is 
not possible.
Check the wiring in 
accordance with 
page 5.
• If the voltage between the terminals [RED] and [BLK] is not approxi-
mately 5.0 VDC, remove the wiring of this terminal and measure     
the voltage. If the specified  voltage is not obtained, the LE-40MTA-
E is defective.
If the specified voltage is obtained, the external wiring or tension de-
tector is defective.    
• Remove the wiring in the tension detector.     
 Short-circuit the terminals [WHR] and [GRR] as well as the terminals 
[WHL] and [GRL] . If zero adjustment is not possible still, the LE-
40MTA-E is defective.              
• Connect the terminals [RED] and [BLK] exclusively to the tension de-
tec  tor. If the voltage between the white and green cables in the ten-
sion detec  tor is 120 mVDC (150mV DC x 0.8)or less with which the 
current is not   applied in the material and zero adjustment is not pos-
sible, the LE-  40MTA-E is defective. If the measured voltage ex-
ceeds 120mV, the tension   detector selected is not appropriate .
  (The tare weight is 80% or more of the rated load.)
Span adjustment is 
not possible.
Check the wiring in 
accordance with 
page 5.
• Perform zero adjustment at first. Connect the  terminals [RED] and 
[BLK] exclusively to the tension detector. Measure the voltage be 
tween t he  wh it e a nd  gr ee n c ables in  the  ten si on  de tecto r.   
• When span adjustment is not possible even if the difference between 
the voltage measured when the material tension is set to 0 and the 
voltage measured when the material tension is set to full scale value 
is 30mV (150mVDC x 0.2) or more, the LE-40MTA-E is defective .  
• When the difference in voltage is less than 30mV, the tension load ap-
plied on the tension detector is insufficient and the tension detector 
selected is not appropriate. Even if the span adjustment is normally 
completed, the tension detection error increases. 
  Use a tension detector having a less rated load.    
• If the load is changed while the span is adjusted, adjustment may be-
come disabled .
