2.5 Checking the Adjustment
For general information, refer to section 2.2.
Requirements:
1. The sensors must be installed at the measuring location. Connect the sensor
with the supplied or existing display unit.
NOTE: The pin assignment of the 8-pin connector located on the rear side of
the sensor is described in section 4.0. Wait approx. 10 minutes for the sensor to
warm up.
Checking procedure:
1. Thread the process material through the measuring rollers, following the
red marking on the front of the sensor.
2. Suspend a weight that corresponds to the tension to be measured (pay
attention to the correct unit of measure) from the measured material,
vertically, as shown above. (Always use a fresh portion of the material to
be measured.)
3. The tension value on the connected display unit should be equal to the value
of the suspended weight. If this procedure shows a deviation beyond the
allowable tolerance and a reliable operation is no longer allowed, the instru-
ment has to be readjusted, following the directions in sections 2.3 and 2.4

When threading the process material through the rollers,
follow the material acquisition symbol on the front of the
sensor. If force is applied to the middle sensing roller in
the incorrect direction, damage could result.

3.0 SPECIFICATIONS
Calibration According to factory procedure Suitable for 95% of
applications. PA = Polyamide Monofilament. If the
material to be measured differs significantly from the
facctory calibration material in diameter, rigidity,
shape, etc., we recommend calibration using customer
material. For this purpose, a material sample of at least
5 m should be supplied. International unit for tension
