If at any time whilst tightening the clamp, the three LED’s
illuminate, the beeper sounds continuously and the
message ‘WARNING-OVERLOAD’ appears on the
display, stop tightening the clamp immediately. If the
load exceeds 850 Newtons or the equivalent, the
message ‘HEAD DAMAGED’ will appear. If this happens,
the instrument must be returned to the manufacturer for
head replacement and re-calibration.

The display will now show the belt tension and the LED’s
and beeper will indicate if the measurement is within or
outside the limits. The yellow LED lights if the tension is
too low, and the beeper emits a single beep after each
measurement. The red LED lights if the tension is too
high, and the beeper emits a double beep.
27.
If the tension is OK, the green LED lights and the If
necessary, adjust the belt tension until it is within limits.
Then re-check the tension as described in ‘Getting the
best results’.
28.
If it is required to change the measurement unit, target
tension or limits, the instrument can be switched from
measuring mode to set mode by pressing the ‘SET’ key,
then setting the units, tension and limits, as described
from step 7.
The belt tension between the measuring points will vary as the
engine is rotated due to differing internal loads on the
crankshaft, camshaft etc. For this reason, it is recommended
that at least four measurements are taken with the crankshaft
turned to four different positions.
Do not forget to remove the measuring head before rotating
the crankshaft.
Always zero the instrument every ten minutes if the instrument
is being used for a long time.
Do not forget that the zeroing must be done with the
measuring head removed from the belt, and the clamp fully
unscrewed.
The instrument has the following menus, which can be
accessed at any time by pressing the ‘Menu’ key.
When menus are selected, the menu header will appear.
