GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
- Each time the instrument is removed from its case for use check the
serial number on the nameplate to ascertain that it agrees with the serial number on the calibration
bar. Before using the instrument check the calibration by means of the calibration bar. (See paragraph
4-9.)
Warning: Cable Tensiometers should not be used for adjusting the rig load in a cable system where an automatic
cable tension regulator is installed. All such cable systems should be rigged by adjusting them so that the
pointer on the cable tension regulator scale indicates the correct number based on the surrounding temperature
as indicated on the chart provided by the aircraft Maintenance Manual. The Tensiometer may be used to check
the tension so obtained, but it must be remembered that the actual cable tension will vary from the nominal
depending on the errors in the instrument itself, manufacturing tolerance of springs in the regulators, rate of the
regulator spring, and condition of the control cable. Cable tension readings taken on a regulated control system
therefore can be misleading and can result in damage through improper rigging.
