CONTACT ClOSURE OPERATION
The contact closure feature must be specified in
the gauge setup and the gauge must be placed in
Contact Closure Mode. When in Contact Closure
mode, the DFS II Series gauge will “freeze” the
display at the load that caused a switch “make” or
“break”.
The DFS II Series gauge must have a cable that
jumpers Pins 8 and 10 and that connects the
switch to the force gauge.
CONTACT ClOSURE MODE
The DFS II Series will indicate that the gauge is in
the Contact Closure mode. The mode indicator will
display as “OFRZ” for a “break” setup or as “CFRZ”
for a “make” setup. The load measurement will
represent the actual load that was sensed by the
gauge when the switch was “opened” of “closed”.
Units may be changed and results may be saved in
the gauge memory for statistical calculations.
CONTACT ClOSURE PASS-FAIl
The DFS II Series gauge’s Pass-Fail feature can
be used with the Contact Closure Mode. Pass
or Fail limits may be configured by the user in the
gauge setup. When this feature is enabled, the
DFS II Series gauge will display a green “PASS” or
a red “FAIL” based on the limits that were config-
ured and the load that is displayed by the gauge.
The Pass or Fail limits may be based on a RANGE
or on a NOMINAL VALUE with BANDWIDTH. See
“Using Pass-Fail Limits” for more information.
