Battery Saver/Sleep Mode
The ergoFET’s self activating 'sleep' mode is designed to extend battery life. The ergoFET goes to sleep
when the unit has not received any input for three minutes. The unit can be 'awakened' from sleep mode by:
Pressing the Reset button, or Turning the unit off for five minutes or more.
NOTE: When using ergoFET RF with Bluetooth / FET Stick and software: if the ergoFET has not received any
input for three minutes or crossed the threshold setting, “sleep” mode will activate and signal transmission will
stop. Simply press the reset button and the signal will start transmitting again.
The ergoFET
batteries are designed to provide constant power throughout the battery life. As result,
performance declines rapidly in the last few percent of battery life. To avoid any interruption of testing
capability, due to low battery power, Hoggan Scientific recommends you change batteries when the power
check reading reaches approximately 15%.
ergoFET Testing
The ergoFET was developed to eliminate the subjective nature of testing by giving clear, accurate, objective,
quantified force measurements. ergoFET increases testing reliability and accuracy.
For best results, be sure to install the proper attachment for the area being tested, and check to ensure that
attachments are securely affixed to the unit, and that the unit is properly positioned for maximum surface area
contact and direct force application.
The ergoFET is ambidextrous. It can be held in either the left or right hand for compression testing, or you
may switch hands from test to test, depending on stabilization requirements. To secure the ergoFET in your
hand, place the strap over your hand, and perform one hand direct push test. See Image H below.
