Page 9: Product Description
4.1. Introduction The double magnet strain measurement sensors QE1008-W are used for accurate force and strain measurements on ferromagnetic surfaces. The use of two QE1008-W sensors enables the system to take exact measurements of bending compensated tie bar strains. The compact design and simple installation also offer a wide variety of different applications. -

Page 16: Mounting And Installation
QE1008-W Operation manual Mounting and installation These sensors are precision instruments with a resolution of 0.001mm. The devices must therefore be handled with great care. This instruction manual must be read and observed by every user. 7.1. Mounting for bending compensated tie bar strain measurement 7.1.1. - Page 17 QE1008-W Operation manual 7.1.2. Positioning the sensor Turn both knurled nuts so that they are flush with the end of the threaded rod. The long edge of the sensor must be placed onto the surface to be measured and then tilted. The magnets pull the sensor onto the tie bar.
- Page 18 QE1008-W Operation manual If the magnets do not automatically jump onto the measuring surface, press down the knurled nuts one after the other. The magnets should now jump onto the tie bar. The attraction force of the magnets is now optimal.
- Page 19 QE1008-W Operation manual Remove the 2nd sensor from the carrying case and complete steps 1 to 4. – The sensor must be positioned parallel to the tie bar! – The 2nd sensor pair must be placed exactly opposite (180°) and...

QE1008-W Operation manual 8.6. Measuring the tie bar strain distribution During the tie bar strain measurement, the machine must not be operated or closed at high speed as vibrations can affect the measurement. 8.6.1. Preparation The sensor system must be activated in accordance with Chapter 8.3.1. -
Page 26: Measuring The Tie Bar Bending (Tie Bar Crack Detection)
QE1008-W Operation manual 8.7. Measuring the tie bar bending (tie bar crack detection) The software can display each sensor separately and thus measure the bending per tie bar simultaneously and without additional device. If the inner bending is less than the outer one by factors (e.g.: 80 to 400µε), this is an indication that the tie bar (the column) is cracked on the inside and no longer carries locally. -
Page 27: Assigning A Qe1008-W Sensor
If a QE1008-W sensor can no longer be used, a new sensor must be reassigned in its place (e.g.: Sensor 1.1 → assignment slot number 1.1 at the wireless receiver). - Page 28 Press and hold the button on the sensor (~4 seconds) until the LEDs flash alternately red/green. Release the button → the receiver automatically locates the QE1008-W sensor and assigns it to the previously selected address. Receiver Sensor The sensor and receiver then switch back to operation mode.

You cannot delete just one saved assignment on the receiver. - Page 30 Press and hold the button on the sensor (~4 seconds) until the LEDs flash alternately red/green. Release the button → the receiver automatically locates the QE1008-W sensor and assigns it to the previously selected assignment slot with corresponding slot number.

Page 31: Troubleshooting
If the stored frequency is already being used by other devices in the vicinity of the customer, this can lead to an unstable connection. The reassignment of any QE1008-W sensor will resolve the problem. Display software • Presentation If the display software is not shown fully, the resolution of the screen is set too low. -
Page 32: Maintenance Of Qe1008-W Sensors
Use only rechargeable batteries NiMH, size AAA! Charging the rechargeable batteries Place the QE1008-W sensors carefully next to each other on a clean surface. (sensors in the supplied carriyng case stowed are optimally positioned to recharge) Connect the supplied charge bars to the sockets of the sensors Connect the connection cables of the charger to the charge bars. -
Page 33: Servicing
Normal AAA batteries must NOT be charged! 10.2. Servicing The QE1008-W sensors should be calibrated every 12 months. In order to calibrate them, the sensors must be sent to Sensormate AG. Trained and qualified staff of Sensormate AG can recalibrate the QE1008-W sensors. -
