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.
