The belt tension will display on the screen, the meter will beep three times, and the green LED light will turn off indicating a successful measurement.
If the belt signal cannot be measured, or the measured frequency of the belt is out of range the Red LED light will turn on. To make another tension reading Tap the belt again. The auto-trigger feature will automatically re-active the meter without pressing the “MEASURE” button.
Verify the displayed value is within 23-27 newtons
