1.0 Introduction
The KXE Warp Tension Meter is designed to measure tensions during warping and
weaving. The unique sensor configuration provided two 25 mm wide cylindrical roller
for the capture of two groups of yarns, one on each side of the sensor for measurement.
Therefore the sensor will be measuring 50 mm of ends while the process is running.
The electronic indicator provides for measurement and storage of the critical high and
low peaks that will be measuring in the weaving operation. These peaks can them be
analyzed and used for process evaluation. Stored data can be transferred to a PC and
analyzed using the FREE Tension Inspect software.

1.2 Unpacking
Unpack the tension meter and inspect it for any shipping damage. Notices of defect
mustbe filed immediately, in writing, at the latest within 10 days on receipt of the goods.

11.0 PC Communication (RS-232-C Interface)
11.1 The TENSION INSPECT Program
The TensionInspect software from Electromatic is described in a separate user manual.
11.2 WINDOWS Terminal Program
The measured values and the memory contents can be transmitted over the RS232
interface to a personal computer. You can connect the computer to the INTERFACE of
the KXE by using the ETX-CC special cable which is available as an accessory.
The pin assignment of the INTERFACE is described in Section 13.
Requirements: A communication program, such as Termina or HyperTerminal
(provided on MS Windows Version 3.0 or later), must be installed and configured on
the computer.
3.0 Set-Up Procedures
3.1 Battery insertion and replacement
Before the first use of your tension meter, you
need to insert the battery
1. Open the battery compatment on the rear
side of the tension meter and insert a
9V battery (E Block), making sure that the
polarity of the battery matches the polarity
marked on the battery compartment. Close
the battery compartment.
2. If the
display, the battery is low and must
be replaced immediately. Operating the
tension meter with a low battery may cause
measurement errors.

c Clear memory Delete the memory content.
a Damping ON/OFF Switch damping on or off.
z Zero Carry ot zero adjustment of
the instrument
u Toggle unit of measure Switch from g to cN, and vice
versa
NOTE: If the instrument will not be used for
an extended period of time, the battery should
be removed.
3.2 Power On/Off
Power On: Press the POWER/ZERO key until all
symbols are shown on the display. When you release
the key, the display momentarily shows the tension
range and the shoftware version, e.g. E 1.0, followed
by random valuse or “0.”
Power Off: Press the POWER/ZERO key for 5 seconds.
Auto Power Off: The tension meter switches off after 3 minutes of non use.
3.3 Reversing the display
When you shift the tension meter from the right to the left hand, you can rotate the
readings on the DISPLAY by 180° to make them easier to read.
Measuring with the display unit in the left hand:
1. Switch off the tension meter switched off as
described in Section 3.
2. Press and hold the DAMP and POWER
keys until the display shows the readings
the other way around.
– 24 –
– 5 –
Measuring with the display unit in the right hand (default position):
1. Tension meter switched off as described in
Chapter 3.2
2. Press and hold the DAMP and POWER
keys until the display shows the readings
in the default position.
NOTE: The selected display orientation
remains stored in the KXE memory even after
the instrument is switched off.
3.4 Zero adjustment of the measuring position.
Before starting measurement you need to carry out zero adjustment,
as described below, each time the tension meter is switched on. This
procedure is necessary to compensate for the weight of the measuring
roller in the measuring position. The zero adjustment for the new
measuring path only remains effective until the instrument is switched
off. Zero adjustment must be repeated whenever the material path is
changed or the tension meter does not display “0.”
NOTE: The process material must not yet be inserted into the tension
meter!
To carry out a zero adjustment:
1. Holding the SENSOR at the HANDLE, place it in the desired measuring position.
Be careful to hold the instrument absolutely steady.

and the OUTER ROLLERS.
3. Insert the MEASURING ROLLER Into the warp.
4 Push the LEVER back into the original position to move the REFERENCE
FRAME and the OUTER ROLLERS down again. It is important to assure that
the warp passes smoothly between the MEASURING ROLLERS and the OUTER
ROLLERS.

5.0 Damping Mode
The KXE is equipped with an electronic damping which ensures steady readings when
tension fluctuates. This is achieved by averaging the measured values at the set update
rate.
NOTE: Before switching on the damping mode, it is recommended that you measure
the first values without damping enabled.

5.2 Modifying the Dampling Factor
The tension meter is factory preset to a damping factor of 12. The tension values are
averaged for the display in the following way:
12 old values + 4 new values

NOTE: The selected damping factor remains stored in the KXE memory even after the
instrument is switched off.
6.0 Memory Modes
The tension meter features a data
logger with a memory capacity for
up to 4000 readings, with which
you can store different measuring
periods at one or more machine
positions. The readings are saved 2x
per second, synchronously with the
display update rate, in all memory
modes except the “F” mode in which
they are saved 100x per second. All
saved readings and statistics can be
