Handling
The usual functions (displaying force, displaying maximum, zeroing and changing units) are accessible
by simply using the keys on the keyboard.
2.1.
Battery Charging
Connect the AC adapter to the micro-USB connector on the left side of your force gauge. The green
LED on the front panel lights up when the battery is charging. At the end of the charge, the LED goes
out.
2.2.
Accessories assembly
Attach the extension cable provided in the case to the load cell rod at the bottom of the force gauge.
Tightening should be done by hand without applying much torque. Excessive torque or the use of pliers
can damage the load cell. We recommend that you mount the accessories with the force gauge turned
on to ensure that you are not applying a heavy load on the sensor when mounting the accessories.
2.3.
Mounting on a frame
On the back of the force gauge are 2 M5 threaded holes that can be used to mount the force gauge on
an ANDILOG frame. Each ANDILOG frame is delivered with a special spacer and the fixing screws for
this use.
If you wish to use another type of frame, make sure that the screws used are no longer than 3mm.
Although the threaded holes are blind, the use of longer screws may destroy the components on the
electronic board inside the instrument.
