Step 1:
Set the calibration points and weights, e.g. in Newton using the cali-
bration points 10 %, 50 %, and 90 % of full scale
Start: Select the Start menu item.
Alternative calibration points: 10 %, 40 %, 70 %
10 %, 30 %, 60 %
10 %, 30 %, 50 %
10 %, 20 %, 40 %
10 %, 40 %, 90 %
10 %, 60 %, 90 %
10 %, 60 %, 100 %
We recommend to use the 10 %, 50 %, 90 % setting for an initial ca-
libration. If the measured values are not accurate enough when you
check the calibration, repeat the calibration using other calibration
points.
We recommend that you align the middle of the tension range to be
measured with the middle calibration point.
In the „Material“ menu, select Calibration.

To perform the calibration procedure
- Select a new material or edit an existing one (by re-entering the values) from the
„material“ menu.
- Enter a designation (you can use the software supplied with the tension meter
alternatively).
3.6.1 Calibration procedure
(cont.)
Requirements:
- The thumbpiece must be in the adjustment position (Fig. 3.5.3b).
- The material thickness compensator (if existing) must be set to the adjustment position
(chapter 3.5.1)
- The unit for the material thickness must have been set (chapter 3.4)
While performing the calibration, the tension meter must be fixed in such a way
that the material to be measured runs smoothly between the guide rollers and the
measuring roller.
The display gives detailed information on the calibration.
