Selecting Units

The DFX II Series has a dedicated Units key.  Select 
to display results in different units of measure.

DFX II-010, DFX II-050 and DFX II-100 models may 
display units as ozf, gf, lbf, kgf or N.

The DFX II -200 will display lbf, kgf or N only.

The Units key may be disabled so that the Units 
cannot be changed by the operator.  See Units Lock 
Feature.

Auto Shutdown Feature

The DFX II Series has an option to automatically 
shut off power when the gauge is not being used 
during a 30 minute period, e.g. no key presses.
To enable the Auto Shutdown feature, follow this 
setup procedure and depress the following keys:

 

1. INFO <Capacity>

 

2. INFO <Firmware>

 

3. INFO <Overload>

 

4. INFO <Battery>

 

5. INFO <Auto Shutdown>

When the Auto Shutdown is ON, the gauge power 
will automatically be turned OFF after 30 minutes 
of inactivity, e.g. no key presses.  This helps save 
battery life.
