(3) Press the numeral key of "1" and check that "No.1" appears on the upper left of the display.
note This operation is to temporarily set the preset data such as the belt specifications, because if the measurement is taken without input of the belt specifications, conversion to tension value (N) cannot be made, resulting in judgement of error.
(4) Press "Hz" button twice to change the display to the frequency display (Hz).
(5)
caution
  • The temperature of the surface of the belt should be as close to normal temperature as possible.
  • Do not allow any contaminants such as water or oil to get onto the microphone.
  • If strong gusts of wind blow against the microphone or if there are any loud sources of noise nearby, the values measured by the microphone may not correspond to actual values.
  • If the microphone is touching the belt while the measurement is being made, the values measured by the microphone may not correspond to actual values.
Hold the microphone to the middle of the belt between the pulleys (at the place indicated by arrow), approximately 10 - 15 mm away from the rear surface of the belt so that it is perpendicular to the belt (within an angle of ± 15 degree).
(6) Press the "MEASURE" button.
(7) Gently tap the middle of the belt between the pulleys (the place indicated by the arrow) with your finger as shown in the illustration, and measure that the vibration frequency of the belt is within the standard value.
