Gates Sonic Tension Meter

I was wondering what perameters to use for our belts. It needs: weight in gf/Cm, width in mm, and span length. Also what it the Hz? Standard(10-600), low(10-50) and high(300-600).

I bought a belt tension gauge at NAPA for 18 bucks - set my belt to 220 lbs. get the flat belt gauge not the v belt.

Also a good basic test - your belt should move around an inch up and down total at the center with about 10 lbs of pressure

I have that as well but to me it looks like a broad range I want something more precise.

It is not necessary to be all that precise with our drive belt. The Gates gauge is more than accurate enough if used properly.
