2.0 OPERATION
2.1 First Installation
1. Install the sensor at the desired measuring location.
2. Connect the sensor with the supplied or existing display unit. The pin
assignment of the 8-pin connector located on the rear side of the sensor is
described in section 4.0.
3. If the material path is other than vertical or if the process material deviates
significantly from the factory calibration material, you have to carry out
zero and gain adjustment, as described in
section 2.3 adn 2.4, before
first installation.
3. Wait approx.10 minutes for the sensor to warm up.
4. Thread the process material through the measuring
rollers, following the thread acquisition symbol on
the front of the sensor.
2.2 Internal Sensor Calibration
General Notes:
If the sensor was delivered together with a display unit, ZERO and GAIN
adjustment should only be performed on the supplied display unit.
All tension meters are calibrated with standard materials—such as polyamidemonofilament (PA)—according to the factory procedure; the material path is
vertical (Model BTMS horizontal).
Any difference in process material size and rigidity from the standard material
may cause a deviation of the accuracy.
In 95% of all industrial applications the factory calibration has been proven
to provide the best results and is used for comparative purposes.
If required, you can operate the sensors with a material path other than
vertical.
If the process material differ significantly in size, rigidity and shape we recommend special calibration using customer material. In the case of a material path
other than vertical or special calibration using customer material you have to
carry out static zero and gain adjustment once again as described i
n Chapters
3.2.1 and 3.2.2.
The device must not be operated in explosion hazard areas and must not come
into contact with aggressive substances.
To avoid damage, do not move the center roller by hand.
Tensions that exceed the tension range of the device by more than 100%
may cause a permanent deformation of the measuring spring and must be
avoided under any circumstances.

2.3 ZERO Adjustment
1. Install the sensor at the measruing locations in the desired measuring position,
using the provided mounting holes.
2. Remove the countersunk head screws (M2.5)
ZERO and GAIN on the rear side of the
sensor.
3 .Wait approx. 10 minutes for the measuring
head to warm up.
4. Thread the process material through the
measuring rollers, following the thread
acquisition symbol on the front of the sensor.
NOTE: Since zero and gain adjustments are always performed statically the
display values may differ under dynamic load.
5. Suspend a weight that corresponds to, for example, 10% of the tension range
from the measured material (see diagarm above).
6. Connect a voltmeter to pins 1 and 7 of the connector provided on the rear side
of the sensor. See section 4.0
When threading the process material through the rollers,
follow the material acquisition symbol on the front of the
sensor. If force is applied to the middle sensing roller in
the incorrect direction, damage could result.

7. Insert a screw driver (with a point width of up to 1.9 mm) into the now
accessible ZERO opening of the housing and adjust the potentiometer until
the connected voltmeter shows a measured voltage of, for example:
Sensor Model TS -200:
Weight 20 cN = Display 0.100 V for the TS standard version
or
Weight 20 cN = Display 1.00 V for the TS version with 10 V output signal.
2.4 GAIN Adjustment
Requirement: ZERO adjustment (section 2.3)t must be carried out first.
1. Thread the process material through the measuring rollers, following the
thread acquisition symbol on the front of the sensor.
2. Suspend a weight that corresponds to, for example, 95% of the tension range
from the measured material (see diagram on page 4).
3. Insert a screw driver (with a point width of up to 1,9 mm) into the now
accessible GAIN opening of the housing(see diagram on page 4) and adjust
the potentiometer until the connected voltmeter shows a measured voltage of,
for example:
Sensor Model TS-200:
Weight 190 cN = Display .950 V for the TS standard version
or
Weight 190 cN = Display 9.50 V for the TS version with 10 V output signal.
4. Check the adjustment with a fresh portion of the process material and repeat
the adjustments if required, following the direction in section 2.3 and 2.4.
5. Screw in the countersunk head screws
ZERO and GAIN on the rear side of the
sensor.
Do not tilt the screwdriver as this may damage the
potentiometer.

2.5 Checking the Adjustment
For general information, refer to section 2.2.
Requirements:
1. The sensors must be installed at the measuring location. Connect the sensor
with the supplied or existing display unit.
NOTE: The pin assignment of the 8-pin connector located on the rear side of
the sensor is described in section 4.0. Wait approx. 10 minutes for the sensor to
warm up.
Checking procedure:
1. Thread the process material through the measuring rollers, following the
red marking on the front of the sensor.
2. Suspend a weight that corresponds to the tension to be measured (pay
attention to the correct unit of measure) from the measured material,
vertically, as shown above. (Always use a fresh portion of the material to
be measured.)
3. The tension value on the connected display unit should be equal to the value
of the suspended weight. If this procedure shows a deviation beyond the
allowable tolerance and a reliable operation is no longer allowed, the instrument has to be readjusted, following the directions in sections 2.3 and 2.4
When threading the process material through the rollers,
follow the material acquisition symbol on the front of the
sensor. If force is applied to the middle sensing roller in
the incorrect direction, damage could result.
