Operating Procedure For The 507C Meter - Gates 507C Manual Del Usuario

3. Operating procedure
for the 507C meter
The sonic tension meter enables non-contact,
simple and accurate measurement of installation
tension by analysing sonic wave action, which
is related to belt function. The sonic wave
is generated by flipping the belt span of the
UK
stationary belt, and it is captured by the sensor
and processed to give belt tension which is
displayed digitally.
Attaching sensor
Each of the male and female connectors has a
notch on the surface. Align the notches and push
the connectors together. To disconnect, hold the
collar towards the sensor and pull out.
Turn on the power
Press the "Power" key and the LCD screen
displays the current input data storage register
number. To change, refer to "Input data storage
and retrieval".
Enter belt unit weight
M =
(Grams per metre length per millimetre width
– enter factors page 10-11-12).
Capacity available for input is from 000.1 to
999.9 g/m/mm. Press the "Weight" key and enter
numbers on the keypad. Make sure the decimal
is placed correctly in the display panel. If your
entry is incorrect press "Weight" again, and the
cursor returns to the original position.
Enter width or number of
ribs/strands
W =
Capacity available for input is from 000.1 to
999.9 mm or number of ribs or strands. For a
synchronous belt, enter the width in millimetres.
For a Micro-V
a Polyflex
Enter the number of ribs/strands only for the belt
being tested.
Enter the span length
S =
Capacity available for input is from 0001 to
9999 mm. The span length represents the
distance between the contact points on adjacent
sprockets/pulleys/sheaves. This distance may be
measured directly, or it may be calculated from
the formula below. Calculating the span length
gives the best results.
