Operating Procedure For The 508C Meter - Gates 508C Handbuch

3. Operating procedure for
UK
the 508C meter
The Sonic tension meter enables non-contact,
simple and accurate measurement of
F
installation tension by analysing sonic wave
action, which is related to the belt
characteristics. The sonic wave is generated
by vibrating the belt span of the stationary belt,
I
and it is captured by the sensor and processed
to give belt tension which is displayed digitally.

Each of the male and female connectors has
a notch on the surface. Align the notches and
push the connectors together. To disconnect,
hold the collar towards the sensor and pull out.

Press the "Power" key and the LCD screen

displays the current input data storage register
number. To change, refer to "Input data storage
and retrieval".
The LCD screen is back lit for use in low light
conditions. The screen and back light remain
on for up to five minutes of inactivity, and then
the unit automatically turns off. The opening
screen displays the contents of the data storage
register that was last being used when the
Sonic tension meter was turned off. Values for
(1) "MASS" (Belt Mass Constant), (2) "WIDTH"
(Belt Width), and (3) "SPAN" (Belt Span Length)
are all displayed simultaneously.
Important Note: Reasonable (non-zero)
belt constant values must be used in the
storage registers in order to receive belt
tension readings. The unit will display span
frequency values regardless of the belt
constants entered, but will display "Error"
and the red light will remain on if the
calculated belt tension value is beyond
the display range of the screen.

Capacity available for input is from 000.1 to
999.9 g/m. Press the "Mass" key and enter
numbers on the keypad. Make sure the decimal
is placed correctly in the display panel. If your
entry is incorrect press "Mass" again, and
the cursor returns to the original position.
