Operating Manual EMGZ310 and EMGZ310.ComACT 10.01.2017 12 3.6 Calibration By calibrating (setting the Gain), amplifier and force sensors are adjust so that the display gives the actual tension value. There are two methods of calibrating the system. The first method uses a defined weight attached at a rope (see Fig. 5). The second method is based on a calculation process in conjunction with the FMS Calculator tool. The method with the calibration weight is preferred since it simulates the real material path in the machine and delivers the most accurate results. If the material tension cannot be simulated in the machine by the weight method (e.g. because of space restrictions), the gain can be calculated with the FMS Calculator tool. This Calculator can be down loaded from the FMS web page. Fig. 5: Calibrating the measuring amplifier C431011e
