By performing a calibration adjustment, you can adjust a material characteristic
calibrated for a particular material to a different material or diameter without creating
a new material characteristic.
Requirements
:
- Prepare the measuring setup as shown in Fig. 3.5.5a.
- Select the desired material characteristic (chapter 3.4.1).
- Move the tension meter into the desired measuring position and carry out a zero
adjustment, if required.
Adjusting
:
- Select the „Cal. Adjustment“ menu item from the main menu (Fig. 3.5.5b)
- Insert the material to be measured (chapter 3.5.2) and push the thumbpiece into the
measuring position.
- Press the or key to perform the calibration adjustment until the value on the
display corresponds to the weight suspended to the material.
The adjustment can be performed in 1 % steps within the range from + 10 % to - 10 %.
- Press the
button to save the determined value.
Please note that this is a general value. So determine it separately for each mate-
rial characteristic and note it down for later reference. It is not possible to save it
per material characteristic.
To disable calibration adjustment, reset the value to 0 % in the „Cal. Adjustment“
menu.
