Page 18: Factory Reset
3.4.3 Factory reset A factory reset resets the tension meter to its original manufacturer settings. This proce- dure will delete all settings, including any customer-defined material characteristics (calibrations); the factory calibration, however, will be kept. Customer calibrations will be deleted. Operation procedure Requirements: - Switch the tension meter on (chapter 3.3) -
Page 19: Zero Adjustment Of The Measurement Position
3.5.2 Zero adjustment of the measurement position Each time the measurement position is changed, the tension meter will automatically perform a zero adjustment. If the tension meter does not display zero in its measuring position, perform a manual zero adjustment procedure. For this purpose, no material to be measured must have been inserted yet! Requirements: - The tension meter has been switched on as described in chapter 3.3.2. -

Page 22: Damping
3.5.4 Damping Feature to be used for tensions that vary strongly In the Damping menu (chapter 3.4.1), you can specify separate damping factors for each material characteristic. Back in the display mode, press the button to activate or deactivate the damping function. This is recommended if the displayed values vary stron- gly. -
Page 23: Cal. Adjustment
3.5.6 Cal. Adjustment 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. 3.5.6a. - Make sure that the thumbpiece is in the adjustment position (chapter 3.5.3). -
