Installation & Configuration Guide
Stage 1: Pre-Installation Preparation (Approx. 20 minutes)
⚠️ Tension sensors are precision measurement devices. Mechanical alignment matters just as much as electrical wiring.
Before installation:
- Stop line operation completely
- Lock out drive motors and unwind stations
- Release web tension from rollers
- Verify safe mechanical access
Required tools:
- Anti-static wrist strap
- Torque wrench
- Dial indicator
- Fluke 115 multimeter
- Laser alignment tool
- Shielded instrumentation cable tester
Recommended preparation tasks:
- Photograph roller assembly position
- Record cable routing paths
- Verify load direction orientation
- Check existing tension calibration values
One thing many technicians overlook:
If roller bearings are worn, even a brand-new tension sensor can produce unstable readings.
