We wish you great success in using your new measurement system AFETY GUIDELINES The Belt Tension Pro uses an extra bright, red LED (660 nm). For this reason, it is not necessary to take measures to protect your eyes. However, do not look directly into the bright measurement beam at close range.
Notes on batteries/rechargeable batteries If the instrument is not to be used for a long period of time, then the battery /rechargeable battery must be removed. Otherwise, there is a risk of discharging or ruining the battery/rechargeable battery, and consequently damaging the instrument.

REPARATION MEASURES ONNECTING THE MEASUREMENT PROBE Remove the measurement probe from its case, insert the measurement probe connector into the socket on the Belt Tension Pro. Secure the connector by tightening both screws. Measurement probe Caution Do not over tighten the two screws.
The measurement probe “3” registers the characteristic frequency of the tensioned, free belt by using pulsed light or the rotary speed, and communicates the measurement values to the Belt Tension Pro. Belt Tension Pro Overview 1. Operating buttons 2.

PERATION Operating the Belt Tension Pro is simple and straight forward. " “ ENERAL INFORMATION ON BELT TENSION Measuring the belt span tension To calculate the belt span tension or trum force, the measured values of the belt tension, the belt mass and the belt length are input. The calculated trum force is compared with the nominal value that is defined during the design of the drive.
EASURING THE BELT TENSION The belt tension can only be measured when the drive is switched off and stopped. Caution Before making measurements, ensure that the machine is switched off (master switch) and secured against unintentional restarting. The installed and tensioned drive belt is set into natural oscillation with a short impulse or by striking it lightly.
HECKING THE MEASUREMENT PROBE REQUENCY TEST Built into the Belt Tension Pro software is an important and useful additional function for checking the measurement probe, for example, before making a measurement, see p. 18. During this "self-test", the Belt Tension Pro outputs a nominal frequency of 25 Hz over the display.
EASUREMENT STEP Switch on the Belt Tension Pro using the ON/OFF 1 button. The instrument is ready for taking measurements. Input the belt strand length and belt mass, see "Menu structure" p. 19.
GREEN YELLOW When using the Belt Tension Pro, you will only be provided with a raw measurement result, for example, the force in "Newtons". You can evaluate the measurement results directly by using the indicator bar as well as the...
For documentation purposes, you may store the measurements that have been made in the instrument. The instrument has internal storage for up to 255 measurements. Using the optional Belt Tension Pro PC-Software, convenient options are available for producing measurement data reports.
Note Please consult the continually updated belt database at www.statuspro.de. Switch on the Belt Tension Pro. Press button 4 to input the mass of the belt, see Overview p. 9 as well as "Menu structure" p.19“. Press button 4 again; now, using the buttons, select the belt data from the implemented PC-Software belt database.
See the accompanying documentation entitled "Belt Tension Pro PC- Software“. Caution For connecting the Belt Tension Pro to a PC, only use a special BG 810000 cable. If a regular RS232 cable is used, the instrument can be damaged.
