Non-compensated force-measuring rollers lead to faulty measurements, In the case of FMS force sensors of the RMGZ series, this is achieved by aligning the force sensor such that the measuring direction is exactly parallel to the axis of rotation of the strander.
Otherwise, measured value fluctuations occur during machine operation due to the high sensitivity of the FMS force sensors. These interfere with the assessment of the product quality later. Due to irregularities in the installation surfaces, the alignment may have to be readjusted very precisely.

RTM x42.IO.Modbus Installation Manual and Operating Instructions via the amplifier, please follow the instruction of the operating manual of the measuring amplifier. 5.2 Force Sensor Calibration Calibration is used for matching the measuring amplifier with the force sensor. The so- called gain factor is determined.
RTM x42.IO.Modbus Installation Manual and Operating Instructions The calculated gain value is stored automatically For other channels, repeat the steps Press to return to the main menu For the calibration of the force sensor for the core can either be done via the measuring amplifier connected to this force sensor or the EMGZ482R.
RTM x42.IO.Modbus Installation Manual and Operating Instructions 6 Configuration 6.1 Quick Start Insert the battery into the EMGZ482T transmitter module and secure with both knurled screws. The screws must be tightened sufficiently otherwise, the centrifugal forces caused by cage rotation could eject the battery.
