kraftwerks automatic belt tensioner info?

Looking for more knowledge about the belt tensioner if any one would share.

I have read a thread about the belt is not to touch the high speed control bearings except only in boost, so dose that means the damper is to move sometimes or is rock solid all the time?

Been having some what of a squeak when first starting the car, i have re tensioned the altornator a few times, now is there a tension that can also be set on the actual auto belt tensioner to lower down more pressure on the belt to keep off control bearings looks like theres a 3/8 drive on it to leverage down but i never had an actual tool with the kit to know any help would be awesome thanks...

answering my own question do to taking tensioner off, there can be slight movement on tensionoer, tension spring still very tight so no looseness. high speed bearings i think is causing squeak do to dirt and one bear had slight casing indention making it have rough spin putting new bearings in tomorrow see if it fixes it not then new belt ..

I shell talk to myself about my own questions hahah

More informative, for any one with the same issues

Put on new belt tonight 1hr later no chirp start up, old belt warm out a lot more that expected, was lest say it was much more flimsy, and glazed on top with no gates micro v pulley print left.

i notice also after starting the car with new belt the tentioner did not bob up and down like before slightly.

belt lasted 9 months but with 58 data logs for tuning and having fun
