Available in two models: ETB (Basic unit) and ETX (with memory and outputs)
Hand-held instrument with guide rollers up to max. 2000 m/min
Tension meter with measuring head as small as possible
Special Features
• Tension meter ETB and ETX with guide rollers mounted on long shafts to reach into tightest places
• Hand-held instrument with ball-bearing mounted, V-grooved guide rollers up to 2000 m/min, for higher line speed use model ETPB or ETPX

– numeric
– numeric with live bargraph
– numeric with graph (time-tension)
• The display rotates in 90° steps for better reading
• Automatic “Zero-Setting” in each measuring position using a special sensor technique
• Selectable units of measurement: cN, g, N and lb
• Very high data sampling rate (internal 1 kHz)
• Storage of MIN, MAX, last reading, average and standard deviation per measuring interval
• User-set MIN and MAX alarms with indication of TFT display if reading is out of limits
• Adjustable electronic damping for better reading when tension fluctuates
• 3 separate calibration material memory locations for custom calibrations
• Calibration adjustment for fine tuning of the calibration if material differs from the used calibration material
• Menu set-up in English or German language
Standard Features
• Rugged aluminium housing
• LiPo accumulator (approx. 20 hours continuous operation) with AC adapter

Additional Special Features Model ETX
The tension meter ETX can be connected to a PC using the USB interface to monitor readings constantly on a PC
Memory for 60.000 readings
• 5 different memory modes can be selected by the operator:
• Mode S: only statistical values per series are displayed
• Mode H: storage of the X-Y-diagram for reviewing after finishing a series of measurement
• Mode C: continuous logging over a user set time and max. 999 series of measurement (2 Hz)
• Mode F: as C with higher sampling rate (200 Hz)
• Mode D: storage of single readings and statistic
besonderheiten-pc-verbindungModel ETX can be connected to a PC with the USB cable. With the software SW-TI3 »Tension Inspect 3« readings can be displayed, statistically analysed and saved. For more information see “Standard Accessories ETX”.
