Tension meter

DTMX
For applications requiring additional process data

Electronic tension meters manufactured by Schmidt. Providing detailed process data and analysis. Available in two models: DTMB and DTMX


 Features
 2 Memory modes:
- Continuous storage
- On-demand storage
 Analog and serial interfaces
 Calibration to customer supplied material is available (up to four different material calibrations)
 Measuring frequency: 62 measurements/second
 Memory for up to 100 tension values plus MIN, MAX, PEAK values
- automatic calculation of average and standard deviation
-all these data values can be recalled in the display or downloaded to a printer or Personal Computer.
 Material selector switch for textile and wire applications (Tex and Wire) assures highest accuracy
 Selectable update rates (0.5, 1, 2, or 4 seconds) to provide steady readings when tensions fluctuate (electronic damping)
 Built-in mounting holes permit fixed installation for online use
 can be connected to a PC or printer

**** Accuracy: ± 3% Full Scale (FS) and ± 1 dgit

Special calibration using customer supplied samples is recommended, if process material differs significantly from the SCHMIDT calibration material in diameter, rigidity or shape. For this purpose a material sample of about 5 m should be supplied.
