6.0 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
The tension meter is easy to maintain. Depending on operating time and load,
the instrument should be checked according to the locally valid regulations and
conditions. The use of other test methods than the procedure described in section
4.0 may cause deviating measuring results.
6.1 Cleaning
When cleaning the unit, do not use an aggressive solvents, such as trichloroethylene
or similar chemicals. No warranty or liability shall be accepted for damage
resulting from improper cleaning.
6.2 Care of the Rollers
You should regularly inspect the rollers to assure that they are running easily and
smoothly. You can replace the rollers yourself, as necessary. Please indicate the
tension meter model and the serial number in your spare-parts order.
6.3 Verifications Interval
The question of finding the right frequency of calibration accuracy verification
depends on several different factors:
• Operating time and load of the tension meter
• Tolerance band defined by the customer
• Changes to the tolerance band compared to previous calibrations
Therefore, the interval between verifications of calibration must be determined by
the user‘s Quality Assurance Department, based on the user‘s experience.
Assuming normal operating time and load as well as careful handling of the tension
meter, we recommend a verification interval of one year.
