3.4.5 Activating Damping Mode
Damping can only be activated and changed in the tension
mode.
The tension meter is equipped with an electronic damping which ensures steady read-
ings when tension fluctuates. This is achieved by averaging the measured values at the
set update rate. Before switching on the damping mode, it is recommended that you
measure the first values without damping enabled.
Requirements:
- Process material inserted as described in Chapter 3.4.1.
- The DISPLAY has shown the first tension values.
To switch on damping:
- Press the DAMP key.
The display shows the set damping factor e. g.
.
- Release the DAMP key.
The DISPLAY shows

To switch off damping:
- Press the DAMP key.

3.4.6 Changing the Damping Factor
The tension meter is factory preset to a factor of 06. The tension values are thereby
averaged for the display in the following way:
6 old 4 new values
10
The damping factor can be modified in 15 steps from 01 = low damping:
1 old value + 9 new values
10
to 15 = high damping:
9 old 1 new value
10
Requirement:
- Tension meter switched on as described in Chapter 3.3.2.
Procedure:
- Press and hold the DAMP key.
The display shows the currently selected damping factor.
- You can now change the damping factor with the OFF/ON key.
- Release the DAMP key.
The tension meter returns to the measuring mode.
