THE MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE This acoustic tension meter is used for quick and easy measurement of the belt tension, also called span tension, belt strand force or belt tension force. Optimal belt tension is necessary to ensure a long service life of the belt and a trouble-free operation of your drive. The device is fully electronic and equipped with the latest microprocessor technology for simple, high-precision measurements. It is suitable for all belt types, e. g. V-belts, toothed and power belts or ribbed belts, which are in the measuring frequency range between 10 and 600 Hz. The type, color...

THE MEASUREMENT PROCESS GENERAL INFORMATION Make sure that there is as little interference and background noise as possible during the measurement. When not in use, the device switches to an energy save mode, i.e. the display goes dark. This idle state is automatically terminated by pressing any function key or by transmitting acoustic signals. In order to optimize battery performance, the device switches off automatically after about 2 minutes of idle status. Note on remounting belts: After remounting a belt, the drive should be rotated a few times by hand to allow the belt to fully seat, as...

In order to secure the measurement result, e. g. if access to the machine is difficult, the measurement should be saved by pressing (F1). “Lock” By pressing “Delete” (F3) you delete the saved measurement result in order to carry out a new measurement. If you have not secured the measurement result via “Lock” , you can take a new measurement immediately without any further key operations. The keys are coupled with a sound signal as standard. “Menu” (F2) takes you to the submenu of the device. By pressing «Sound on/off» you can switch off the sound signals (F3). By pressing (F3) once more, you...

POSSIBLE PROBLEM SOURCES Interfering background noise can falsify the measurement result. Therefore, ensure that background noise is kept to a minimum during the measurement. When measuring in a windy environment, the sensor should be shielded, as it also reacts to drafts. Toothed belts have a certain transverse rigidity depending on the belt width. The measurement should be made on span lengths that are more than twenty times the length of the belt pitch. If no measurement result appears despite repeated impact impulses on the belt, this can have several causes: • The belt oscillates outside...

MAINTENANCE & CALIBRATION Before delivery, the device is subjected to a factory calibration, during which the device is checked at defined measuring points within the measuring range and the results are confirmed in a calibration protocol. If recalibration is required by internal guidelines, you can request a new factory calibration from us. ADDITIONAL MOBILE APP Additional functions, e. g. the logging of the measurement with date, time, the assignment of a machine profile or a machine number can be made via a specially developed app, called «TMconnect». The app «TMconnect» can be found on the...
