Warranty: - SCHMIDT tension meters are warranted for 12 months. Parts subject to wear, electronic components and measuring springs are not covered by the warranty. No warranty or liability will be accepted for bodily injury or property damage resul- ting from one or several of the following causes: - Misuse or abuse of the device.
The device is intended exclusively to be used as a tension meter. Any other use or any use exceeding this intention will be regarded as misuse. Under no circumstances shall HANS SCHMIDT & Co GmbH be held liable for damage resulting from misuse. The intended use also includes: - Complying with all notices included in the Operating Instructions and observing all inspection and maintenance works.
2 Available Models The individual models of the ZE Series are also available with the following modifications (customized versions): - Calibration to different materials *Measuring Tension Range **SCHMIDT Model Head Width Calibration Material ZEF-50 0.5 - 50.0 PA: 0.12 mm Ø...
The requirements of the CE specification are only complied with if the tension meter is equipped and operated with equipment supplied by HANS SCHMIDT & Co GmbH. Certification to the CE specification does not extend to, and shall be invalid for any other combination. For damage resulting the- reby we assume no liability.
100 % may cause permanent damage to the measuring spring and must be avoided under any circumstances. The ID plate with the CE mark and the serial number, the calibration label (op- tional) as well as the SCHMIDT Quality Seal are provided on the backside of the instrument. SCHMIDT Quality Seal...

3.4 Tension meter settings Main Menu Settings Menu Description To select a material characteristic for the measure- ment. In addition, a calibration can be executed for the Material selected material characteristic, as well as a name and limit values can be defined in the material setup menu.
3.4.1 Material setup menu In the material setup menu you can make the settings for the selected material characteristics and perform the calibration. To perform the calibration, the weights for the selected calibration points must be available. Material Setup Submenu Settings Menu Description Name of the...
Operation procedure Requirements: - Switch the tension meter on (chapter 3.3) - Define the required tension meter settings (chapter 3.4) - Select the desired material characteristic (chapter 3.4) - Bring the tension meter into the desired measuring position and carry out a zero adjustment as described in chapter 3.5.1, if required.
3.5.2 Inserting and removing material to be measured Material to Measuring Display be measured roller Filament guide ON/ZERO key Guide DAMP key rollers MEM key Thumbpiece fig. 3.5.2 To insert the process material: - Push the thumbpiece as far as it will go in the direction of the arrow to extend the guide rollers.
3.5.3 Damping Feature to be used for tensions that vary strongly In the Damping menu (chapter 3.4.1), you can specify a damping factor. Back in the display mode, press the button to activate or deactivate the damping function. This is recommended if the displayed values vary strongly.
The material and dia- meter is given in chapter 2. Factory calibrations using customer supplied materials follow the same procedure. In this case, however, the calibration on Schmidt material 1 is omit- ted. fig. 3.6.1 shows a measuring setup for the calibration.
10 %, 50 %, and 90 % of the measuring range. In 95 % of all industrial applications, the SCHMIDT calibration has been proven to provide the best results. In particular, it is suitable for comparative purposes.

3.6.2 Calibration procedure Step 1: Set the calibration points and weights, e.g. in Newton using the calibration points 10 %, 50 %, and 90 % of full scale Start: Select the Start menu item. Alternative calibration points: 5 %, 45 %, 90 % 10 %, 45 %, 90 % 5 %, 50 %, 90 % 5 %, 25 %, 70 %...
The diameter and ma- terial is given in chapter 2. Calibrations of the tension meter are performed according to the SCHMIDT factory procedure using weights that correspond to 10 %, 50 % and 90 % of the measuring range.
Memory functions You can store and display the statistics of the last 128 measuring values (last measured value, the average, the minimum and maximum measured values as well as the stan- dard deviation). In addition, the measured values are displayed as a graph. Save data - When pressing the button the display will freeze (The display shows MEM,...
