– analog: 0 – 1 V DC (standard), 0 – 10 V DC (optional)
The sensor can be mounted using the three threads at the underside of the housing body. Alternative it can be fixed on a optional rail DIN EN 60715. A mounting adapter is necessary.

Online tension sensor for measuring small tensions of threads and fibres up to 1000 tex, as well as thin wires up to 0.3 mm Ø
Compact sensor with two different designs for continuous tension measuring in wire and textile industry
Tension meter can be fixed on a mounting rail DIN EN 60715
