NOTE: This product has been obsoleted. It has been replaced by our Model TI17B / TI18B Tension Indicator.

The TrueTension™ TI17A/18 indicators are versatile
transducer interfaces (amplifiers) for monitoring tension in any tension zone on web or filament processing machinery.  The primary function of the TI17A/18 indicators is to take a signal from tension transducers installed in the web path and to provide an output signal (typically 0-10Vdc) proportional to tension to a drive, controller or a PLC.

The only difference between the TI17A and the TI18 indicators is their power input requirements. The TI17A operates on 115Vac 60Hz (230Vac 50Hz optional) and the TI18 operates on 24Vdc, power supplied separately.

The standard configuration for either the TI17A or the TI18 is a 3x5"circuit card with no enclosure. Other configurations include the card on a mounting bracket or in a complete enclosure, each with or without DIN-rail clip. These three configurations with the optional circuit card connector for external electrical connections are pictured on the cover. Two versions are available, the vertical (V) mount and the horizontal (H) mount. The only difference between the H and V versions is the orientation of the adjustment pots.

• Improves machine operation and productivity by making it easier to run proper tension.
• Gain higher level of process control and a reduction of waste, web-breaks, and other web problems. 
• Low-cost component for complete tension measurement or control system.
• Modular package for versatile, flexible mounting and setup.

• 115V/230Vac 50/60Hz power input (TI17A) or 24Vdc (TI18).
• Circuit Card with terminal strip for all electrical connections including power.
• 0-10Vdc or 4-20mA outputs proportional to tension. (0-10Vdc or 4-20mA isolated outputs optional available)
• 0-1 mA output for a tension meter.
• Meter damping adjustment. Minimizes meter fluctuation. (Used with optional tension meter).
• Dual Calibration. Allows two calibration settings.
