Refer to
. Follow instructions as follows:
A.
Turn on the meter.
B.
Hold the meter so that the probe is >10mm (3/8”)
away from the belt being tested. Do not touch the
belt with tester probe.
C.
Pluck a single belt at the midpoint between the
motor and compressor unit pulleys. Try not to
disturb any adjacent belts, as this will give a false
reading.As the probe detects a vibration, the
meter will display the frequency. Record data.
D.
Rotate the motor pulley through at least one
complete revolution and measure the belts
again, recording the results.
E.
Repeat D for a total of 3 measurements.
F.
Average the three measurements to obtain the
true belt tension.
G.
Repeat for remaining belts.
H.
Compare the resuls to the belt tension specifica-
tion in
and adjust if necessary.
