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.

5.1 To switch damping on and off:

1. Insert process material and take a mesurement as directed in Section 4.0

2. Press the DAMP key. The display shows the set damping factor.

3. Release the DAMP key.

The display shows DAMP below the currently measured value.

0000฀฀

3. To switch off damping, press the DAMP key again.

The display shows only the currently measured value.

0000฀฀

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

The damping factor can be modified in 15 steps from 01 = low damping:

1 old value + 15 new values

to 15 = high damping:

15 old values + 1 new value
