Fostex G16 - Page 37

2) Set RI (FF) so that the reading of tape tension at “ A ” is 240g.
3) Put the transport in the RWD mode by depressing the |REWIND| button on the main unit.
4) Set R6 (RWD) so that the reading of tape tension at “ B ” is 240g.
4.2.6.8 At EDIT mode
1) Put the transport into STOP mode by depressing |STOP| button on the main unit.
2) Depress [CLR| (clear) button of the controller to release the MECHANISM-ADJUST mode.
3) With putting G16 on the vertical position, put the connector J4 back on the DD CAP 
STAN PCB.
4.2.6.9 Checking the Tape Tension (refer to Fig. 4.7)
1) Put the G16 in the MECHANISM-ADJUST mode (refer to 4.2.6.4 3))
2) Put the transport in the EDIT mode by depressing |STOP| button on the main unit.
3) Check the tension at “ A ” adn “ B ” . Tension at “ A ” and “ B ” should be 45 ~ 65g. And the
difference of the tension between at “ A ” and “ B ” should be less than 5g.
4) Put the transport in the PLAY mode by depressing the |PLAY] button on the main unit.
And confirm that tension at “ A ” is 105g ± 5g and tension at “ B ” is 90 ± 5g. (Caution:
since the capstan motor rotates at a speed of 3 % ips in the MECHANISM ADJUST mode,
T.UP side tension should be 10g lower than the adjusted value in item 4.2.6.6, and supply
side tension should be 10g higher than the adjusted value in item 4.2.6.6.
5) Put the transport in the F.FWD or RWD mode by depressing the |F.FWD| or ¡REWIND] button
on the main unit. Each tension at “ A ” or “ B ” should be 240 ± 10g.
6) Depress the |CLR| (clear) button to release the “ MECHANISM-ADJ ” mode.
7) Put the transport in EDIT mode by depressing the ¡EDIT ¡ button of the G16. Then, confirm
that both T.UP reel and SUPPLY reel are in a steady state at the beginning of the tape and
at the end of the tape. Also confirm if the tape travels are made smoothy for backward and
when rotating the “ JOG (EDIT) DIAL ”
