Push the silicone cap (or tube, see
fig. below) over the shafts to
protect the ceramic.

5. Each hole on the sensor unit is
marked by a groove. The long
shaft is inserted where the long
groove is, and the short shaft
where the short groove is.
6. Add a drop of water on top of
the shaft with the droplet syringe,
so the meniscus is convex (Fig.
27).

7. Connect the sensor unit with
adapter cable and USB-converter
to your PC and start tensioVIEW

.
Click on “Refilling” to open the

8. Carefully screw the shaft into
the sensor unit. (Fig 29)
While screwing in the Tensiometer
shaft the pressure must not
exceed 1 bar (burst pressure = 3
bar).
In case the pressure rises to high
stop the turning in and wait until
the pressure has droppedYou will
clearly notice the point when the
shaft hits the O-ring inside the
sensor unit.
From this point do only another
quarter turn!
