DTXB
Tension Meter

Special Features

Additional functions in comparison to basic instrument DTSB

• Memory for 60.000 readings
• USB interface
• 4 different memory modes:
  Mode S: statistics only
  Mode H: storage of the X-Y-diagram for reviewing after finishing a series of measurement (e.g. short time spooling)
  Mode C: continuous logging over a user set time and different series of measurement (2 Hz)
  Mode F: fast, continuous logging over a user set time and different series of measurement (1000 Hz)
  Mode D: storage of single readings and statistic
• Standard, factory side calibration of tension meter DTXB with only one material
• 10 Material memory locations for customer made calibrations
• Software Tension Inspect 3 for displaying real-time readings on a PC and to store them into a file
• Wi-Fi module for wireless communication with a PC (optional)

Function of basic instrument DTSB

• Dual-flanged outer guide rollers with various widths, from 7 mm to 41 mm (single-flanged rollers optional, recommendable if the material being measured is wider than the tape roller)
• Tension meter DTXB with large, backlight LCD-display

  – 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
• The tension meter has no material thickness compensator
• 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

Standard Features

** Outer distance between outside guide rollers

 When selecting the instrument for your specific application, please keep in mind that:

1. Rollers of different widths are not interchangeable by the user.
2. The roller width should correspond with the width of the material to be measured.
Otherwise incorrect measuring results may occur and the instrument may be damaged.

SCHMIDT has the solution to any tension measuring problem! Please contact us to discuss your application requirements.

To assist you in selecting the right tension meter for your specific application, please furnish:
– Kind and dimensions of the material to be measured
– Expected tension range
– Material sample of about 5 m
