OPERATION:
Clip the meter onto your material while holding the handle completely down. The dial reading should
be the same as noted at time of calibration.
To determine existing pli readings, take a dial reading under performance conditions. Suspend a 10"
wide strip of the same material from overhead. Clip on the tension meter. Add known weights until
the dial reading matches performing conditions. Divide the total of the applied weights by the material
width. The resulting figure is the actual pli tension.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
Do not apply pressure to indicator sensing block.
Keep clean and free of dust.
DO NOT OIL DIAL INDICATOR.
If handle becomes stiff, apply a slight drop of oil or grease onto the contact point.
If necessary, oil or grease can be applied to contact rollers and hinge pins.
CALIBRATION INTERVAL:
Tensitron recommends calibration by the manufacturer at one-year intervals, or sooner if the meter is
worn, damaged, or reading incorrectly. However, it is the responsibility of the user to establish a
suitable calibration interval, considering such factors as the user’s accuracy requirements,
requirements set by contract or regulation, and environmental factors such as frequency and
conditions of the meter’s use.
