Attention
- Tensioning the drive belt is an important operation, since it determines the service life of the belt.
- Using the Tronic 105.6 frequency meter allows you to set the tension level in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and avoid excessive or insufficient tension and the associated noise and other problems.
- Failure to strictly adhere to the tension requirements using the Tronic 105.6 device can lead to engine destruction (pic. 1.25)

- Turn on the power and move the read head closer (A, fig. 1.25) to the belt branch, the tension of which is checked.
- Position the head at a distance of X (pic. 1.26,1.27) approximately 5 to 10 mm from the belt.

- Measurement can be carried out both from the side (1), and from the outside (2) depending on the dimensions.
- Can be used to measure any of the sensors «A» or «b» given that. that the control sensor must be located outside the measurement area.
- During measurement, do not allow both sensors to be positioned opposite the belt at the same time (pic. 1.28. 1.29).
- Tension is measured by vibration of the belt, obtained when the belt is pulled with a finger and released (pic. 1.30). Reading is confirmed by a sound signal.
