TSS transducer installation
A) Keep the measuring system powered
on (TSS transducer and Pitagora
instrument) for some minutes and
proceed to the zeroing of the
measurement on the display (
C
pushbutton), maintaining the
measurement element [2] parallel to
the plane defined by the wires of the
warp.
B) Install the base [3] on the warp, so that
it is supported by the warp in the [4C]
points.
C) When positioning the base [3] on the
warp it is needed to pull up the section
of warp whose tensioning will be
measured, placing it on top of the base
support bars, on the [4A] and [4B]
sections. Place the wires so that they
do not superimpose and they are using
all the available space in a homogeneous way.
D) The [4A] and [4B] sections, available to arrange the warp whose tensioning is to be measured, is
20 mm wide. Insert in [4A] and [4B] an amount of wires for a corresponding nominal
tensioning of around 30 to 40% of transducer’s full scale.
E) Apply the measuring element [2] on the TSS
transducer’s base [3], inserting the positioning
pins [8] in the corresponding guiding holes [10].
F) Lock in position the TSS transducer’s closing
knobs.
It is now possible to start the measurement.
G) In order to avoid that the warp movement moves
the transducer from the choosed position, fix the
TSS transducer to the machine using the
connection g cable.
ATTENTION
: avoid to touch the measuring probe
[9] and protect it from accidental hits that may apply
unwanted forces that may damage the transducer.
When the transducer is not used it is suggested to keep the measuring element [2] fixed on the base
[3], having closed the locking knobs, so to protect the measuring element. Avoid to use high
pressure compressed air to remove dust or dirty form the TSS transducer.
