Force gauge Hand Terminal HT 6.0
9
Operation
Procedure
:
- Select suitable adapters to install the transducer.
- Make sure that the applied force is always vertical to the measuring axis of the transducer, for tensile as well as compression
forces. The measuring result is falsified as soon as the force axis is not vertically oriented.
4.3.1. Zero positioning and taring:
By pressing the
button the force gauge is set to zero before a measurement and without a pre-load. Only perform zero
positioning once the transducer and the hand-held terminal were moved to the correct starting position for measuring. This way
the self-weight of the transducer and the respective adapter are set to zero.
With this function, it is also possible to tare pre-loads. These pre-loads are to be positioned properly before measuring and tared
by pressing the button.
By pressing the
button, apart from the display the saved peak values are also set to zero.
4.3.2. Switching the measured value display: PEAK
When switching on the force gauge and exiting the menu, the current measured value is always shown in the display.
You can also select display of the peak values with the PEAK button. In this setting, the measured value display corresponds to a
drag indicator which is further advanced in case of increasing/decreasing values.
- If you press the PEAK button once the maximum value is displayed in positive load direction. “Peak Max” is displayed below the
measured value.
- Press the PEAK button once more to display the minimum value, i.e. the largest absolute value in negative direction of force.
“Peak Min” is displayed below the measured value.
- If you press PEAK for a third time the current measured value is displayed again.
By pressing the escape button you can return to the display of the current measured value from each peak value display.
The peak values are always recorded during measurement with the set measuring rate, independently of the selected measured
value display. They are saved until the force gauge is reset by zero positioning/taring.
4.3.3. Performing the measurement
- Load the transducer and read the measured value in the display.
- If required, change the measured value display with the PEAK button during measuring (see 4.3.2).
Note
If no button is pressed, the force gauge switches off automatically after the set auto-off
time. However, the saved peak values, the taring and the individual menu settings are
kept.
