3.0 SETUP
The tension meter is delivered with a built-in rechargeable LiPo battery, which has been
charged at the factory. The tension meter can only be switched on if the battery is still
working, i.e. if the battery has enough charge. If the instrument does not power up or if
the battery level indicator shows only one bar after power-up switching the tension
meter on, the battery needs to be recharged.
NOTE: To ensure maximum battery life, avoid discharging the battery completely or
charging it frequently for short periods. The battery should not be stored for a extended
period of time when empty. After a maximum storage period of one year, the battery has
to be recharged.
3.1 Charging the Battery
To charge the battery, connect the cable of the AC adapter to the low USB output. The
battery can also be charged by connecting the USB cable to a PC. When the battery is
fully charged, the battery level indicator will show 5 bars . The charging time is
approx. 3 ½ hours (using the AC adapter).
NOTES: It is not possible to overcharge the battery. The battery can only be charged
at a temperature between +5 °C and +45 °C. Before you connect the AC adapter, verify
that the supply voltage is correct (100 V – 240 V).
3.2 Switching the tension meter ON and OFF
To switch ON
Press and hold the button (for approx. 1 sec.) until the DISPLAY shows the
measuring range, the software and hardware versions, e.g. E 1.0, and then “0”. During
startup, the tension meter performs an automatic zero adjustment (see Section 5.3).
Holding the button makes the display freeze so that you can read the measuring
range and the software and hardware versions.
While switching on the tension meter, make sure not to move it. This will
cause the automatic zero adjustment to be faulty
To switch OFF
Automatic Switch Off : After 3 minutes of non-use the tension meter will switch off.
Manual Switch Off : Press and hold the button for ve seconds.

5.0 OPERATION
5.1 Requirements
1. Switch the tension meter on (Section 3.2)
2. Dene the required tension meter settings (Section 4.2)
3. Select the desired material characteristic (Section 4.3)
4. Set the material thickness compensator (Section 5.2), if equipped
5. Bring the tension meter into the desired measuring position and carry out a zero
adjustment as described in Section 5.3, if required.
5.2 Material thickness compensator (only for devices with a thumbwheel)
The 3-roller-system for tension measurement relies on the displacement of the middle
roller (measuring roller) to give an indication of the
line tension. As the material thickness changes, there
will be a change in the tension reading, even when
the line tension has not changed. To compensate
for this effect, high-range instruments are usually
equipped, as necessary, with a material thickness
compensator, which automatically shifts the outer
rollers. To adapt the tension meter to the diameter
of the material to be measured, push the thumbpiece
into the adjustment position “0” (Section 4.0) and
pull the thumbwheel of the material thickness
compensator backward to the adjustment position
(Figure 6). Turn it clockwise or anti-clockwise until
the desired diameter, such as , appears in the upper
right part of the display. Then push the thumbwheel
of the material thickness compensator back to the measurement position (Figure 6). If
you set a diameter that has not been calibrated for the selected material characteristic,
the set diameter is displayed with a black background color, e.g., the tension meter can
be used anyhow, but please note, that depending on the material to be measured, slight
deviations in the measured values might occur.
If you rotate the thumbwheel while the thumbpiece is in position 2
(measuring position Figure 1), the reading on the display will be updated,
but the value will not be used by the instrument to determine the tension —
false measurement! The maximum material thickness you can set is
2.50 mm. Setting a higher diameter can damage the tension meter.

5.3 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:
1. The tension meter has been switched on as described in Section 3.2.
To carry out zero adjustment:
1. Bring the tension meter into the desired measuring position and make sure not to
move it.
2. Press the button.
The DISPLAY momentarily shows and then switches to
The tension meter is now adjusted to its new measuring position and ready to take
measurements.

To insert the material to be measured:
1. Push the thumbpiece in the direction of the arrow into its threading
position 1 (1) until the outer guide rollers extend beyond the lament guide.
2. Position the material to be measured into the tension meter in such a way that
it contacts the Filament guide and passes between the outer rollers and the middle
measuring roller (1) .
3. Slowly move the thumbpiece back into the adjustment position (2) . It
is important to ensure that the material to be measured runs smoothly between the
measuring roller and the guide rollers.
4. Push the thumbpiece into the measuring position (2) (2)
5. The display shows the measured tension value.
If the thumbpiece is not in position 2, a corresponding
message is issued on the display. If the thumbpiece is
not locked, faulty measurements might result.
FIG. 7
Page 13

6. Press the and button simultaneously to change the different display modes
during the working mode.
Do not let the thumbpiece snap back as this could affect the calibration and
damage the instrument.
While measuring the thumbwheel of the material thickness compensator must
be set to the measurement position, so that the material diameter is not altered
inadvertently.
If you rotate the thumbwheel while the thumbpiece is in position 2 (measuring
position), the reading on the display will be updated, but the value will not be
used by the instrument to determine the tension – false measurement!
To remove the material to be measured:
1. Push the thumbpiece in the direction of the arrow into its threading
position (1)(2).
2. Remove the material to be measured.
3. Slowly set back the thumbpiece into the adjustment position (0) (2).
5.5 Damping
Feature to be used for tensions that vary strongly. In the Damping menu (Section 4.3)
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 strongly. Press the button to increase the
damping value or the button to decrease it.
NOTE: Changes made to the damping factor using the arrow keys are not saved
permanently in the material characteristic. If you disable the damping feature or select a
different material characteristic, the damping factor will be reset to the value originally
saved for the material characteristic.

To disable calibration adjustment, reset the value to 0% in the Cal. Adjustment menu.
5.8 Peak value
During a measurement cycle, the tension meter automatically calculates the Peak
Minimum and Peak Maximum values. If these values should not be displayed in the bar
graph or in the statistics, disable their display in the main menu. Regardless, the Peak
values will be used and shown always in the software Tension Inspect 3.

6.0 CREATING A MATERIAL CHARACTERISTIC
The tension meter has been calibrated on material 1 according our factory procedure
for a vertical material path and cannot be deleted or overwritten. The the materials and
diameters are given in Section 2. Factory calibrations using customer supplied materials
follow the same procedure. In this case, however, the calibration on Schmidt material 1
is omitted
NOTE: The material characteristics 1 has been preset in the factory and cannot be
overwritten. For these material characteristic, you can only change the damping factor,
the alarm function setting, and the limit values.
6.1 Calibration procedure
Calibrations of the tension meter are performed according to the factory procedure
using weights that correspond to 10%, 50%, and 90% of the measuring range. In 95%
of all industrial applications, the factory calibration has been proven to provide the
best results. In particular, it is suitable for comparative purposes. If the material to be
measured differs signicantly from the factory calibration material in material type,
diameter, rigidity, shape, etc., we recommend to perform a calibration using customersupplied material. In addition to the two factory-preset materials, you can save up to 9
additional materials.
NOTE: The material thickness unit used for the calibration is the same as currently
selected in the Settings menu. It is not possible to overwrite the factory calibrations.
Calibration Units and Calibration Points
• You can select Newton or Kilogram as the unit of the calibration weights.
• For the calibration of the tension meter, three calibration weights are used.
For example, if you select 10%, 40%, 70% for the calibration, the weights must
correspond to 10%, 40%, and 70% of the measuring range.
In this example, you need the following weights for the DTX-1000:
Calibration in Newton: 100 cN, 400 cN, and 700 cN
Calibration in Kilogram: 100 g, 400 g, and 700 g
NOTE: The measured values are displayed in the unit set in the Settings menu,
independent from the unit that was used to calibrate the material characteristic.
So that they are available when you verify the calibration later or repeat the calibration
after a factory reset.

Requirements:
1. The thumbpiece must be in the adjustment position(4) (Fig. 6).
2. The material thickness compensator (if existing) must be set to the adjustment
position (Section 5.2)
3. The unit for the material thickness must have been set (Section 4.3)
To perform the calibration procedure:
1. Select a new material or edit an existing one (by re-entering the values) from the
material menu.
2. Enter a designation (you can use the software supplied with the tension meter
alternatively).

NOTE: While performing the calibration, the tension meter must be xed in such a
way that the material to be measured runs smoothly between the guide rollers and the
measuring roller. The display gives detailed information on the calibration.
In the Material menu, select Calibration
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:
10%, 40%, 70% 10%, 30%, 60%
10%, 30%, 50% 10%, 20%, 40%
10%, 40%, 90% 10%, 60%, 90%
10%, 60%, 100%
We recommend to use the 10%, 50%, 90% setting for an initial calibration. If the
measured values are not accurate enough when you check the calibration, repeat the
calibration using other calibration points. We recommend that you align the middle of
the tension range to be measured with the middle calibration point.
FIG. 13
Page 18

Step 2:
Set the diameter
This step is only required for tension meters with a material
thickness compensator
Step 3:
Perform a zero adjustment with the tension meter in its measuring
position
Step 4:
Calibrate calibration point 1
Insert material to be measured
Step 5:
Calibrate calibration point 2
Step 6:
Calibrate calibration point 3
Step 7:
Exit the calibration process or calibrate a second diameter. In this
case, continue with step 2.
NOTE: By calibrating a second diameter, you can dene a material thickness range to be used
for the material, e.g. 0.1 – 0.3 mm. Therefore the tension meter can be used for a diameter
range instead of a specic diameter only.
Once you have completed the calibration, make sure to verify it as described in
Section 6.2. In case of a large deviation, repeat the calibration or select different
calibration points.
Page 19
–18 –
6.2 Verifying the calibration
When verifying the calibration, make sure to select the same material, calibration
position and calibration points as used for creating the associated material characteristic.
Otherwise, the precision of the measurements will not be sufcient. The tension meter
has been calibrated on material 1 according our factory procedure for a vertical material
path and cannot be deleted or overwritten. The diameters and materials are given in
Section 7.2. Calibrations of the tension meter are performed according to the factory
procedure using weights that correspond to 10%, 50% and 90% of the measuring range.

Weight
1. Attach a weight vertically to the material to be measured that corresponds to the
tension to be measured (make sure to select the correct unit). The weight must hang
freely. (Always use a fresh portion of the material to be measured.)
2. Insert the material as described in Section 5.4
Do not let the thumbpiece snap back as this could affect the calibration and
damage the instrument.
3. Before verifying the calibration, move the instrument slowly up and down to
compensate for any mechanical friction losses and thus ensure repeatability of the
measurements.
4. The tension value shown on the display should be equal to the mass of the
suspended weight.
If the verication of the calibration shows a deviation beyond the allowable tolerance so
that reliable operation is no longer possible, the instrument needs to be re-calibrated or
returned to the factory for repair.
