INSTRUCTION MANUAL Addendum
VERSATECTM S15
MODELS: VTC-S15 & VTCE-S15
Description
The VERSATEC S15 incorporates the following changes from the standard VERSATEC:
1. The only mode available is DANCER with SPEED output.
2. Taper Tension, Diameter Sensor and Tension Output are all functions that are enabled by default.
3. Diameter calculation is preformed for a surface winding application. For this application, the
distance from the US-2 sensor to the axis of rotation changes.
4. A splice time feature has been added to accommodate a flying spice.
5. Gain Scheduling and the Remote TENSION UP/ TENSION DOWN feature have been disabled.
Dancer Mode Setup
Refer to the VERSATEC instruction manual (850A232-1) for
installation instructions and electrical connections.
Setup cannot be performed if E-Stop is open, or if
RUN/STOP is in run mode.
1. Configure the diameter signal.
Press PROGRAM, and or to enter the Roll Dimensions
menu. Press . Enter the maximum Full Roll Diameter, the
minimum Core Diameter and the Calibration Diameter.
Calibration Diameter is the current diameter of the roll that is
presently on the machine.
2. Calibrate Diameter
With the Calibration Diameter equal to the present Diameter,
Press +and - until the display says OK. Press .

3. Splice Feature
Press PROGRAM and or to enter the Stop and
Hold menu. Press . Enter the Splice Time.
The splice feature provides a splice input signal (TB3-
18) and a splice time for changing rolls. The splice time
is entered in seconds. Upon a momentary contact
closure betweenTB3.18 and TB3.15, the diameter value
is forced to the core diameter for the duration of the
splice time. The normal diameter display is returned
when the splice time expires.
4. Set the Dancer Position
Press PROGRAM, to enter the Dynamic Tuning menu.
While holding the dancer arm in the desired running position, press +and - until the display says OK.
Press .
5. Tuning
The screen to the right is the Tuning screen.
Pressing or when in this screen chooses CORE,
FULL, or EXIT. Pressing or adjusts the dancer
position (if necessary). Pressing +or –adjusts the
tuning (+will normally increase the stability and –will
increase the responsiveness.)
In the following steps, the words +(FULL) means to press +when FULL is selected, -(FULL) means
to press –while FULL is selected, etc. When asked to “STABLIZE” an oscillation, perform one of the
following steps:
1. If the dancer is oscillating rapidly (faster than several seconds per cycle), press + until the
oscillation stops. OR
2. If the dancer is oscillating slowly (several seconds per cycle), press –until the oscillation stops.
NOTE: The next step requires that the machine be running near full roll. If this is a rewind, a
preliminary adjustment can be made at core with final tuning done at full roll. If the dancer
position oscillates during winding, use the appropriate method above to stop the oscillation.
With a full roll mounted, run the machine at a low speed.
If the dancer position is oscillating stabilize the dancer. If necessary, adjust the dancer position using
or .
If the dancer position is not oscillating, press –(FULL) until the dancer position begins to oscillate.

NOTE: The next step requires that the machine be running near core. If this is an unwind you
may mount a small roll, or you may continue to unwind until the roll approaches core. Select
CORE. If the dancer position oscillates at any time during the unwind stabilize the dancer.
Press or to select CORE.
Run the machine at a low speed near core.
If the dancer position is oscillating stabilize the dancer.
If the dancer position is not oscillating, press –(CORE) until the dancer position begins to oscillate,
and then press +(CORE) until oscillations stop.
Tuning is complete. Select EXIT and press . This screen shows the condition of AUTO POSITION.
It will normally be ON after tuning CORE and OFF after tuning FULL. It can be turned ON or OFF
using this screen, but it is best left ON. If controlling a torque device with diameter signal, the AUTO
POSITION is always ON, so the AUTO POSITION screen does not display in this mode.
