3.1.1 ID Plate, CE Mark, Calibration Label The ID plate with the CE mark and the serial number as well as the calibration la- bel (optional) are provided on the bottom of the display unit, the SCHMIDT Quality Seal is provided on the surface.
Before you connect the AC adapter, verify that the supply voltage is correct (100 V - 240 V). HANS SCHMIDT & Co. GmbH provides no warranty or liability for any damage resulting from the use of AC adapters from other manufacturers.
3.3.4 Reversing the Display When you shift the tension meter from the right to the left hand, you can rotate the readings on the DISPLAY by 180°. Measuring with the display unit in the left hand: If you would like to use the left hand for measuring, you should reverse the readings on the DISPLAY to make them easier to read.
Operating Procedure Requirements: - Tension meter switched on (Ch. 3.3.2). - Damping factor set, if necessary (Ch. 3.4.2). - Zero adjustment carried out (Ch. 3.3.5). LEVER REFERENCE FRAME fig. 3.4 MEAS. ROLLER OUTER ROLLERS To insert the process material: - Push the LEVER in the direction of the arrow to lift the REFERENCE FRAME and the OUTER ROLLERS.
3.4.1 Switching on Damping Mode The KXE is equipped with an electronic damping which ensures steady readings when tension fluctuates. This is achieved by averaging the measured values at the set update rate. Before switching on the damping mode, it is recommended that you measure the first values without damping enabled.
3.5 Memory Modes The tension meter features a data logger with a memory capacity for up to 4000 readings, with which you can store different measuring periods at one or more machine positions. The readings are saved 2x per sec- Memory Mode ond, synchronously with the display Meas.
3.5.1 Memory Mode Selection Requirements: - Tension meter switched on as described in Chapter 3.3.2. - Memory cleared by simultaneously pressing the MEM and RECALL keys. To select the memory mode: - Press and hold the MEM key. The DISPLAY shows Press the DAMP or RECALL key to change the memory mode.
3.5.1.1 Data Logging in Mode “S” STANDARD Requirements: - Tension meter switched on as described in Chapter 3.3.2. - Memory mode “S” STANDARD set as described in Chapter 3.5.1. - Process material inserted as described in Chapter 3.4. The logged tension values remain stored in the KXE To save the first measuring period: memory even after the in-...
3.5.1.2 Data Logging in Mode “C” CONTINUOUS (Cont.) To stop data logging: - When you want to end the measuring period, press the MEM key once again. The statistical values are calculated from the logged tension data and stored in the following order: The logged tension values Average value,...
3.5.1.3 Data Logging in Mode “L” LIMIT (Cont.) Minimum peak value (MIN PEAK), Maximum peak value (MAX PEAK). Tension value - 1 - Tension value - 2 - ↓ Tension value - 10 - (up to 10 tension values in up to 255 measuring periods) The MEM indicator stops blinking and remains on the display.
You can save up to 255 measuring periods with a total of 4000 readings max. 3.5.2 Recalling the Stored Tension Values With the TENSION INSPECT software from SCHMIDT, which is included with your tension meter, you can easily and accurately evaluate the stored tension values and export them to an Excel sheet.
3.5.2.1 Recalling the Stored Tension Values in Mode “S“ STANDARD (Cont.) and the symbol. - Press the RECALL key. The DISPLAY blinks, showing minimum peak value (PEAK ) of the measuring period, the PEAK indicator and the symbol. - Press the RECALL key. The next measuring period (POS: 2) is shown on the DISPLAY, starting with the average value (AVG).
3.5.2.2 Recalling the Stored Tension Values in Mode “C“ CONTINUOUS (Cont.) - Press the RECALL key. The DISPLAY blinks, showing maximum peak value (PEAK ) of the measuring period, the PEAK indicator and the symbol. - Press the RECALL key. The DISPLAY blinks, showing minimum peak value (PEAK ) of the measuring period, the PEAK indicator and the...
3.5.2.3 Recalling the Stored Tension Values in Mode “L“ LIMIT (Cont.) maximum value (MAX) of the measuring period and the symbol. - Press the RECALL key. The DISPLAY blinks, showing minimum value (MIN) of the measuring period and the symbol. - Press the RECALL key.
3.5.2.4 Recalling the Stored Tension Values in Mode “F“ FAST (Cont.) measuring period (POS: 1) and the symbol. - Press the RECALL key. The DISPLAY blinks, showing last value (LAST) of the measuring period. - Press the RECALL key. The DISPLAY blinks, showing maximum value (MAX) of the measuring period and the symbol.
The diameters are given in Chapter 2. Any difference in process material size and rigidity from the standard material may cause a deviation of the accuracy. In 95% of all industrial applications, the SCHMIDT calibration has been proven to provide the best results and is used for comparative purposes.
The requirements of the CE specification are only complied with if the ten- sion sensor is equipped and operated with display units and connecting cables supplied by HANS SCHMIDT & Co GmbH. Certification to the CE spec- ification does not extend to, and shall be invalid for any other combination.
