Input data storage and retrieval
Weight, width and span constants can be stored
for up to 20 different drive systems. Press the
“Select” key to toggle through the 20 storage
registers or press a number between 0 and 19,
then enter values for the belt constants. After this
is completed, the belt constants can be recalled
for a drive by simply pressing the “Select” key
and the number that corresponds to the storage
register.
Measurement
Press the “Measure” key and the green LED will
begin flashing. It will flash until a signal is received
by the sensor. Tap the belt span to make the belt
span vibrate. Hold the sensor approximately
1 cm (0.4 inch) from the belt or closer so long as
the belt does not hit the sensor. The green light
will turn off after a signal is received and remain
off for about 1.5 seconds during processing.
The measured belt tension is then displayed, the
meter beeps three times and the green LED turns
back on and remains on until another signal is
received. If the belt tension or frequency cannot
be measured, the red LED will turn on.
Tension display
T =
kg or lb or N
The units of measured force can be switched
between kilograms, pounds and Newtons. This
can be accomplished as follows:
When the power is switched off, press the “0” and
“9” and “Power” key down at the same time. Units
can then be changed by pressing the “Select”
key until the desired unit appears. Press the
“Power” key again to return the meter to its normal
operating mode.
Frequency display
F =
Hz
Press the Hz key to view the frequency
measurement.
When the Hz key is pressed again, the measured
tension is re-displayed.
If the Hz key is pressed a third time, a double
indication is given in Newton and Hz.
Measurement errors
If the belt tension or frequency cannot be
measured the red LED will turn on. If an error has
been made in the measurement, “ERROR” will be
displayed. Continue to retry the measurement
until tension is displayed. It is not necessary to
press the “Measure” key again. If the memory is
not used, the tension meter switches to “ERROR”
after three measurements. Switch the meter off
and on again to continue measuring.
If the double display is used (Newton – Hz), then
the unit for which a value cannot be displayed,
will be indicated with a dotted line.
Frequency range
The standard selected frequency range is
between 10–500 Hz. The frequency range can be
changed. Hold down the “0” button one second
or longer. The frequency ranges LOW (10-60
Hz), STANDARD or HIGH (500-5000 Hz) will be
displayed. Choose a range with the UP or DOWN
button, and determine with “MEASURE”.
