AINTENANCE
The tension meter is easy to maintain. Depending on operating time and load, the
tension meter should be checked according to the locally valid regulations and
conditions.
6.1 Rollers
You should regularly inspect the rollers to assure that they are running
easily and smoothly. You can replace the rollers yourself, as necessary.
When ordering spare rollers, please indicate the tension meter model
and the serial number (on the rear side of the tension meter).
Ordering of spare rollers
Model: MK-12 (on the right side of the tension meter)

Standard rollers: Order number R12013
6.2 Cleaning
For cleaning the unit, do not use any AGGRESSIVE SOLVENTS such as
trichloroethylene or similar chemicals. NO WARRANTY OR LIABILITY
shall be accepted for damage resulting from improper cleaning.
6.3 Verification Intervals
The question of finding the right frequency of calibration accuracy
verification depends on several different factors:
• Operating time and load of the tension meter
• Tolerance band defined by the customer
• Changes of the tolerance band compared to previous verifications of
calibration
Therefore, the interval between verifications must be determined by the
user`s Quality Assurance Department based on the user`s experience.
Assuming normal operating time and load as well as careful handling of the
tension meter, we recommend a verification interval of 1 year.
