MEGADYNE - DTM - KOMPAKT

The MEGADYNE DTM KOMPAKT is used to check the tension of drive belts by
means of frequency measurement.

Advantages of the device:

• Non-contact measurement with repeating accuracy

• Large range measuring from 10 up to 600Hz
• High level of measuring accuracy
• Evaluation of quality of measurement results
• Suppression of background noises
• Universal measuring head for convenient measurement
• Detachable measuring sensor for narrow spaces

Safety information

Before measurement begins, switch of the drive machine to ensure that neither the
drive shaft nor the driven shaft are caused to rotate unintentionally. The relevant safety
instruction should also be observed

Operating instruction

An A for active appears on the display after the device is switched on . An M appears
to indicate when the machine begins measuring . Hold the measurement head over the
belt to be checked. The microphone can be detached from the measure head if the
space is narrow.
Start the belt vibration with a finger or by tapping it.
Measurement with measurement evaluation begins when a constant frequency is
reached .This is indicated by an LED . Another signal is emitted after the measurement
has been evaluated an the result is displayed in Hz. A goes out and a number between
1 and 4 appears.
This number represents the number of successful measurement cycles .
If an E appears after the number then one of the measurements result was outside of
the tolerance range.
If 1 or E appears it is recommended that the measurement should be repeated after
the A reappears.
The measurement frequency (Hz) should be compared with the set value (Hz).You
should reduce or increase the belt tension depending on the measurement result until
the set value is reached.
The measurement frequency f ( Hz) is converted into tension T(N) according to the
following formula:

T= 4 *k * l2 * f2

The tension value and weight per metre can be found in your technical Datasheet.

The result is displayed for two minutes. After that Period the machine automatically
switches off. To restart the device, press the on switch.
To clear the display, press the reset key.

Special Information

If no measurement is possible in despite of numerous taps on the belt, this may have
the following causes:

• the belt vibration is outside the specified frequency range

Remedy: change the belt tension
• The belt can only vibrate slightly
Remedy: Increase the amplitude of vibration, tap the belt harder.

When Low Batt appears, you should replace the batteries. We recommend removing
the batteries if the device is not used for a longer time.

About the drive mechanism: No more than one belt drive pulley should be fixed when
measurement takes place. All other pulleys should rotate freely. By installing a new
belt, a number of rotations should be carried out to guarantee a correct measurement.
