1.0 OVERVIEW & OPERATING PRINCIPLE 6.3 Air Dashpot Damping DX2 and DXX Tension Meters incorporate a moderate DX2 and DXX Tension Meters are hand-held, mechani- amount of movement damping to smooth out some cal instruments which accurately measure the running high frequency tension fluctuation.
6.0 OPTIONS 2.0 OPERATING ELEMENTS 6.1 High-Speed Guide Rollers DX2 and DXX guide roller assemblies are rated 2000 meters/min., maximum. The following high-speed roller assemblies are optionally available: “K” Roller Assembly : 3,000 meters/min., maximum “U” or “DHS” Assembly : 5,000 meters/min., maximum All high speed roller assemblies must be initially installed by the factory or an authorized service facility.
3.0 THICKNESS COMPENSATION 5.4 Calibration Verification Schedule Frequency of calibration accuracy verification depends The 3-roller system for on many factors. These include frequency and extent tension measurement relies of tension overloads, operating speeds, length of oper- on the displacement of the ating times, environment, care in handling, etc.
5.2 Special Calibration 4.0 QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS Special Calibration is optionally available for a specific NOTE: If tension meter is equipped with a Thickness material type and size so long as the material fits the Compensator, first set up Compensator as indicated in mechanical limits and range of the instrument.
