2.2.3 MOUNTING CONFIGURATIONS
Ultra Series Cantilever Transducers can be mounted on either the inside or outside of the machine depending on the
model type purchased (refer to Figure 1 and Table D). When choosing a mounting configuration, evaluate your
options by taking the following points into consideration:
• Model type
• Safety
• Machine Frame orientation
• Ease of Assembly

The tension-sensing roll must not be mounted where the web wrap angle can vary, or the transducer will not
interpret the tension properly. If a variance in the wrap angle occurs, it is sensed by the transducer as a tension
change and the change is indicated on the tension indicator. In cases where it is impossible to mount the transducer
where the wrap angle does not vary, the change in indicated tension that results should be calculated and if small,
can be disregarded.
