Introduction

Warner Electric offers two pneumatic tension control
systems. The Dancer Tension Control System consists
of: an Air Disc pneumatic tension brake, an
electro-pneumatic transducer, an oil removal filter, an
MCS-166 power supply, an MCS-207 control module,
and a pivot point sensor. Figure 1 shows the system
diagram for these components.

The Remote/Analog Control System consists of: an Air
Disc pneumatic tension brake, an electro-pneumatic
transducer, an oil removal filter, an MCS-166 power
supply, an MCS-208 Remote Analog control module,
and an input control device. (Figure 2 shows these
components in a local torque adjust operating mode.)
Consult Warner Electric if assistance is required in
selecting an input control device.

This manual has been designed to cover the full range
of installation, startup, operation, and maintenance
procedures for your tension control system. System
selection information can be found in Warner Electric’s
Tension Control Systems Catalog, P-771.
