Below view Battery detail 2.3 External power supply Measurement instrument is supplied with a line power supply, to be used when the instrument has to he used for long term measurements that cannot be performed using battery power supply. Prior using the Tensiometer with external line power supply: •... -
Page 8: Battery Recharger
2.4 Battery recharger The supplied battery charger allows to charge nickel-cadmium or nickel-metalhydride AA batteries, when they are removed from the Tensiometer. Please refer to enclosed Manufacturer’s instructions for proper use. The battery charger can work with line from 110 to 240 V AC (50 – 60 Hz). Supplied power supply: ANSMANN code 5007023/EU03 or code 5007033/EU, or other equivalent product depending availability on the market. -
Page 9: Electrical Connections
3 Electrical connections 3.1 Instrument’s power supply Instrument has been developed in order to work with four high capacity NiMH AA 1,2 V rechargeable batteries. It is possible to use batteries of different type and different capacity from the one supplied, maintaining the compatibility with the supplied recharger. Manufacturer indicates a finite number of charge /discharge cycles for the supplied batteries. -
Page 10: Power Status Indicators
-10- 3.2 Power status indicators When measurement system is powered on, power status GREEN LED indicates the presence of a good power supply (unit powered by batteries or by external power supply). When RED LED power on, it indicates that batteries are empty (after RED LED power on some power remains in the batteries, but no warranty is given concerning the residual working time available without any measurement degradation). -

-11- 3.3 Earth connection – CE norms In order to obtain the best immunity to electrical disturbs, are suggested the following recommendations: • If instrument has an external power supply that is separated from the rest of the power supplies, connect the “EARTH” terminal to a nearby earth connection of good quality. •... -
Page 12: Tss Transducer's Connection
-12- 3.5 TSS transducer’s connection The measurement system is based on Pitagora instrument and the TSS tensiometer transducer. When using the system it is mandatory to remember the following: 1. On transducer’s label there is a serial number. This transducer must be used exclusively with the Pitagora instrument to which it has been matched when the Manufacturer’s calibration has been performed. -

-14- 5 TSS transducer installation A) Keep the measuring system powered on (TSS transducer and Pitagora instrument) for some minutes and proceed zeroing measurement display pushbutton), maintaining measurement element [2] parallel to the plane defined by the wires of the warp. -
Page 15: Pitagora Display Instrument
-15- The TSS transducer is a measuring instrument that can be damaged when the measuring probe [9] is subject to excessive or anomalous loads, like torsions or other loads that are not corresponding to the normal use of the unit when measuring warp tensioning. When using the measurement system always consider wire dimensions. -

MENU indication, active when the instrument is in the customization procedure, to indicate with a numeric reference the current menu level. 5. indication of serial connection activity, with active data transfer. At instrument power on the main display will show, in sequence, the following information to indicate a correct boot sequence: 1. - Page 17 -17- Button Display [2] Effect Zeroing 0 The transducer must not get in contact with the warp, unless the zeroing procedure is completed. In order to zero correctly the measurement, keep the TSS transducer parallel to the plane defined by the wires of the warp, so that the Zeroing 9 probe [9] of the measuring element does not get in contact with any object that may apply unwanted loads..

-18- 7 Instrument’s customization It is possible to modify the instrument’s working parameters, by using the following procedures when Pitagora instrument is powered on: Press together the pushbuttons Corresponding settings ▼+ C Calibration settings ▲+ E Serial connection settings 7.1 General setting procedure It is hereafter described the procedure to be used in order to modify one of the working parameters of the Pitagora instrument. -
Page 19: Setting Working Parameters
-19- 7.2 Setting working parameters NOTE: what described in this procedure allows to modify or set measurement system calibration, Pitagora instrument plus TSS transducer, by defining a new set of LO and HI reference values for the system (these references allow the conversion of the measured data in engineering units). By executing this procedure and storing in the instrument a new set of reference values, these will substitute the existing ones that will be lost in an irreparable way. -
