Tension Meter MST

• Adjustable electronic damping for better reading when tension is constantly fluctuating

• Vacuum base for positioning the unit on the work plate when tension is measured at the sewing machine

• Special fixture to determine shuttle tension

• Output signal:
– analog 0 – 2 V DC
– digital RS-232

• The tension meter MTS can be connected to a PC using the RS-232 interface to monitored readings constantly on a PC

• Memory of max. 4000 displayed tension values split up to 255 series of measurements and statistics (Last, AVG, MIN and MAX of displayed values, MIN-PEAK and MAX-PEAK are values measured within a measuring frequency of 100 Hz)

• 4 different memory modes can be selected by the operator :
– Mode S: only statistical values per series are displayed
– Mode L: statistics plus 10 displayed values of each series of measurement
– Mode C: statistics plus 4000 displayed values arbitrary split up to 255 series
– Mode F: as C plus higher sampling rate of 100 Hz = values/s

Standard Features

• Battery or mains operation (MST-2000 only mains operation)

• Zero setting using a button before starting measuring

• Microprocessor technology with high steadiness

• Changeable units cN and g

• Easy to operate

• CE approved (tested for electromagnetic compatibility)

• Certificate of Compliance with the order 2.1 according EN 10204 is included

• Optionally available: Inspection Certificate 3.1 according EN 10204 with calibration report

Model MST can be connected to a PC with the RS-232 cable. With optional available software SW-TI3 »Tension Inspect 3« readings can be displayed, statistically analyzed and saved. For more information see “Accessories”
