Function of basic instrument DTSF
- Large, v-grooved guide rollers with 32 groove diameter, ball bearing mounted
- Large bending radius assures gentle handling of the material being measured
- Special guides on the bracket assembly permit easy material acquisition
- Calibration with Polyamide Monofilament (PA)
- Tension meter DTXF with large, backlight LCD-display
- 3 different display modes:
– numeric
– numeric with bargraph
– numeric with graph (Time-Tension) - The display rotates in 90° steps for better reading
- New, unique, force reduced material catching system
- Automatic „Zero-Setting“ in each measuring position using a special sensor technique
- 4 Material memory locations for customer made calibrations
- Calibration adjustment for fine tuning of the calibration if material differs from the used calibration material
- Programmable MIN- and MAX alarms: indication in the display, if reading is out of limits
- High speed data sampling (internal 8 kHz) and recording of MIN-, MAX-, last reading, PEAKS, average and standard deviation
- Selectable units of measurement: cN, daN, g, kg, N, lb
- Menu set-up in English or German language
- Flexible menu set-up to meet operators demand
- Some functions can be password protected
