Preparing a measurement

To be able to carry out a first measurement, you must first make some
settings. It is recommended to calibrate the instrument after each restart.
How to perform a calibration is described in chapter 5.4.
To be able to generate measurement data for the trum force, you must first
enter the technical data of the belt. To do so, select the "Force" tab from the
menu. First enter the mass of the belt in kilogrammes per metre (kg/m). Then
enter the trum length in metres (m) angeben (see chapter Fehler! V

selection with OK .

Making a measurement

If you are still in the menu of the instrument, press the Measuring mode key
now entered the measuring interface and will start measuring as soon as vibration is detected. To
obtain ideal measuring results, align the sensor head so that the two measuring diodes or the white
sensor strip are parallel to the belt. You will obtain the most accurate measurement possible if the
optionally available sensor with long gooseneck and coiled cable PCE-BTM 2000 SHL is placed
above the belt by means of the tripod STAT as this avoids human vibration. In addition, the
measuring probe should be placed in the middle of the load trum if possible (see figure). The
distance from probe to belt should be between 10 and 25 mm. Now make the belt vibrate, e. g. with
the optional mallet.

Saving a measurement

To save a measured value, press the OK key
as well as the number of the reading will be displayed. This information will remain in the display for
4 seconds. During this time, the meter PCE-BTM 2000 does not record any new measurements.
After this, you can proceed with your series of measurements.
Attention!
Before each measurement, make absolutely sure that the main switch of the
system is off and secure it against being switched on again. Never carry out a
measurement on running systems or rotating belts.
