Step 1:
Set the calibration points and weights, e.g. in Newton using the calibration
points 10 %, 50 %, and 90 % of full scale
Start: Select the Start menu item.
Alternative calibration points: 5 %, 45 %, 90 %
10 %, 45 %, 90 %
5 %, 50 %, 90 %
5 %, 25 %, 70 %
We recommend to use the 10 %, 50 %, 90 % setting for an initial calibra-
tion. If the measured values are not accurate enough when you check the
calibration, repeat the calibration using other calibration points.
We recommend that you align the middle of the tension range to be
measured with the middle calibration point.
3.6.2 Calibration procedure
Step 2:
Perform a zero adjustment with the tension meter in its measuring position
Step 3:
Calibrate calibration point 1
Insert material to be measured
Step 4:
Calibrate calibration point 2
Step 5:
Calibrate calibration point 3
Once you have completed the calibration, make sure to verify it as described
in chapter 3.6.3. In case of a large deviation, repeat the calibration or select
different calibration points.
