3.6 Creating a material characteristic
The tension meter has been calibrated on material 1 according our SCHMIDT procedure
for a vertical material path and cannot be deleted or overwritten. The material and diam-
eter is given in chapter 2. Factory calibrations using customer supplied materials follow
the same procedure. In this case, however, the calibration on Schmidt material 1 is omit-
ted. Fig. 3.6.1 shows a measuring setup for the calibration.
The material characteristics has been preset in the factory and cannot be over-
written. For these material characteristics, you can only change the damping fac-
tor, the alarm function setting, and the limit values.
3.6.1 Setup for calibration
Hang a weight which corresponds to
the tension to be measured from the
measured material, vertically, as shown
here. Pay attention to the correct unit of
measure.
