4.0 INTERNAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE SENSORS
If the sensor has been delivered with a display unit, the ZERO and GAIN
adjustments should only be carried out with the supplied display unit.
All tension meters are calibrated with standard material, such as polyamide
monofilament (PA), according to the factory procedure; the material path is
vertical. 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 also operate the sensors with a material path other than vertical.
Should the process material differ significantly from the factory calibration material
in size, rigidity or shape, we recommend special calibration using customer
supplied material. If the material path is other than vertical or if the process
material deviates significantly from the factory calibration material, you need to
carry out static ZERO and GAIN adjustment as described in sections 4.1 and 4.2.

1. Install the sensor in the desired position at the
measuring location using the provided mounting holes.
2. Allow approximately ten minutes for thermal stabilization of the sensor.
3. Thread the process material through the measuring and guide rollers, following
the material path symbol on the front of the sensor.
