Page 20: Factory Reset
3.4.3 Factory reset A factory reset resets the tension meter to its original manufacturer settings. This proce- dure will delete all settings, including any customer-defined material characteristics (calibrations); the factory calibration, however, will be kept. Customer calibrations will be deleted. Operation procedure Requirements: - Switch the tension meter on (chapter 3.3) -
Page 21: Zero Adjustment Of The Measurement Position
3.5.2 Zero adjustment of the measurement position Each time the measurement position is changed, the tension meter will automatically perform a zero adjustment. If the tension meter does not display zero in its measuring position, perform a manual zero adjustment procedure. For this purpose, no material to be measured must have been inserted yet! Requirements: - The tension meter has been switched on as described in chapter 3.3.2. -

Page 24: Damping
3.5.4 Damping Feature to be used for tensions that vary strongly In the Damping menu (chapter 3.4.1), you can specify separate damping factors for each material characteristic. Back in the display mode, press the button to activate or deactivate the damping function. This is recommended if the displayed values vary stron- gly. -
Page 25: Cal. Adjustment
3.5.6 Cal. adjustment By performing a calibration adjustment, you can adjust a material characteristic calibrated for a particular material to a different material or diameter without creating a new material characteristic. Requirements: - Prepare the measuring setup as shown in fig. 3.5.6a. - Make sure that the thumbpiece is in the adjustment position (chapter 3.5.3). -
Page 26: Creating A Material Characteristic
The the materials and diameters are 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 omitted The material characteristics 1 has been preset in the factory and cannot be overwritten. - Page 27 - The unit for the material thickness must have been set (chapter 3.4) To perform the calibration procedure - Select a new material or edit an existing one (by re-entering the values) from the „material“ menu. - Enter a designation Vertical calibration (standard for SCHMIDT calibrations) Guide roller Measuring roller Guide roller...

Page 29: Verifying The Calibration
The diameters and materials are given in chapter 2. Calibrations of the tension meter are performed accor- ding to the SCHMIDT factory procedure using weights that correspond to 10 %, 50 % and 90 % of the measuring range. -
