tion of the device when the instrument is switched on.

value, either tensile or compression force indicated if the Peak
symbol flashes or this symbol is not shown
(see p. 10 chapter
3.3 Selecting the operation mode) .
Force values are shown with negative prefix! Depending on your usage you may set a negative prefix either for
tensile forces (default) or for compressive forces
(see p. 17 chap-
ter 4.2.2 Ch/- prefix for push or pull operations (P12)) .
The depicted peak-value is higher than the maximum value!
T
he maximum value equals the average value of the last taken sing-
le values, whereas the amount of single values depends on the set
display update time. The peak value, in contrast, is the absolute
highest value measured.
Does the instrument work also after a being stored in the dark for a
longer period? Yes. Even after a self discharging of the internal energy storage the
instrument can be used immediately. A back-up battery guarantees
the basic function of the device

turned on only after connecting via USB, else they can not be de-
tected. Alternativly, press any button on the device.

loading the device the calibration certificate becomes invalid.
The display shows “bat.1” or “bat.0“ and the device does not res-
pond! Press the O-button and charge the battery (see p. 5 chapter 2.4
