Wire tension?

Hello!
I want to know how you set the wire tension? Do you set with the feel, or always with TENSION METER? How can I set it without TENSIONMETER? Thanks

When the cable is loose you'll get a back lash on the spindle during rewind. I don't have the Roland tension tool so I adjusted the cable so slightly, until the back lash was taken out of the cable. The wire should be smooth during operation. If you're getting a bit of slack on the wire (at the spindle) during carriage movement it's time to turn the screw.

I adjust it about once a year.
