2.2. Applying force by hand
Hand held force gauges series FMI-B and FMI-S can be utilized for on-
site measurement. In order to apply force manually, the housing com-
prises three M10 tapped holes to attach handles, two on each side
and one opposite the measuring axis (Part no.: Handles FMI-941M10
and T-Handle FMI-942M10).
2.3. Energy Harvesting (FMI-S)
The instrument utilizes, also when turned off, the ambient light at the
work place as energy source and charges an internal storage unit, to
ensure that tests can be made even if the solar cell is covered for a
short while. After storing the instrument for more than 2 month in the
dark, you should expose it to light for at least 8 hours in the regu-
lar working environment (> 250 Lux) before use. Or you may use the
USB-cable to charge the instrument quickly. A buffer battery main-
tains in any case the basic functions of the instrument.
2.4. Charging the battery (FMI-B)
Force gauges of the FMI-B series have a LiPo-battery with a capacity
up to 150 hours of operation. Upon each start the remaining capacity
is measured. If it is less than about 4 hours „bat.2“ is displayed on
the screen. Then charge the battery by connecting the instrument via
USB cable to the supplied AC charger or to a PC.
From the state of charge „bat.1“ or lower the indication will remain on
the display until you confirm by pressing the O key.
