en 6 DESCRIPTION OF DUCATI BELT ANALYZER Ducati Belt Analyzer (DBA) is a precision tool for the measurement of the oscillation frequency of the engine belts. By means of special tables it is possible to derive the belt tension starting from the measured oscillation frequency. The small dimensions and the ease in the use make DBA a practical and reliable tool, suitable for the needs of every body shop.

en 6.1.1 Display 1. 2. 3. Action: shows the operation and the present status of the device Battery: shows the battery status (see chapter Power Supply) Frequency: shows the measured oscillation frequency. 6.2 Technical Features Micro controller: ARM 32 bit Display: Backlit LCD Internal battery: 3.
7 TOOL OPERATION DBA must be used by qualified personnel. 7.1 Power Supply The tool is powered with an internal battery. The battery charge status is shown by a special icon. ICON WHEN IT APPEARS MEANING During use Battery charge lower than 26%. Recharge as soon as possible. During use Charge level between 26% and 50%. During use Charge level between 50% and 75%. During use Charge level between 75% and 100%. With tool switched on or off, Battery in charge.
en 7.2 Power on To turn on the tool proceed as follows: Hold down the power button for about 2 seconds until the tool beeps and the LED flashes. When you switch on the initial screen with the logo appears. The flashing message "Press to start ..." shows that the tool is ready for use.
7.3 Measurement The measurement can be equally done either from the internal side or the external side of the belt (see picture and figure). 1. 2.
en The microphone must be placed at a distance from the belt not higher than 2.5 cm. The point where to place the tool and the conversion tables for oscillation frequency - tension are supplied by Ducati Service. Minimize the background noise of the environment, to optimize the tool performances. Do not place the microphone on the belt. Do not cover the microphone. Proceed as follows: 1. Turn on the tool. 2. Place the tool with microphone pointing to the belt. 3. Hold down and release the power button.
5. Stress the belt with a finger to cause its vibration. The tool registers the oscillation frequency of the belt and processes data. The process status is highlighted by the flashing message "Processing... ".
en At the end of each processing the tool beeps, the LED flashes and the resonance frequency of the belt is shown. 6. Repeat the measurement 3 times and calculate the average of the read values. The values to be used for the calculation of the average must have a difference not higher than 3 Hz. 7. Use the calculated value to derive with the special tables the tension of the belt. At the end of the 10 seconds the tool comes back to the status "Press to start ...". 7.3.
7.4 Power off The tool switching-off can happen in two ways: • • automatic manual AUTOMATIC OFF The tool has a function of automatic switching-off which activates after 3 minutes of inactivity. The tool emits a long beep and the LED flashes. The screen showing automatic switching-off appears. The tool switches off. MANUAL OFF It is possible to switch off the tool at any time. Proceed as follows: Hold down the power button until the tool beeps. The tool switches off.
en 8 MAINTENANCE The tool does not require special maintenance. For a longer life of the tool, keep it clean and follow the instructions provided in the following manual carefully. If necessary, contact your Dealer or the Technical Assistance Service.
