Care and Cleaning
Your ergoFET is built to provide long lasting, reliable service. As with any precision instrument, it should
be used with care. It should not be dropped, banged against hard surfaces, or used as scale.
The exterior surface of the ergoFET surface can be cleaned with damp soft cloth. Small amount of
household spray cleaner can be used. Any cleaner residue should be removed with soft cloth dampened with
clean water. We recommend that you periodically inspect your unit for wear, and proper functioning.
Calibration
The ergoFET comes with calibration certificate, ensuring that the unit was properly calibrated at the
time of shipment. To ensure continued accuracy and reliability your ergoFET unit should be recalibrated
annually, by properly Hoggan Scientific, LLC.
Transporting ergoFET
Hoggan Scientific strongly recommends that you store and transport the ergoFET in the hard sided protective
carrying case provided.
Operating Features
On/Off Switch
The On/Off switch slides left and right to turn the unit on and off. Even though the ergoFET is equipped with
Sleep Mode battery saver feature, we recommend that the unit be turned off when not in use. Refer to Image A
for Power On/Off Switch.
Sleep Mode
If your unit is left on for approximately 3 minutes or more, your unit will go into Sleep Mode to preserve
battery life. To take the unit out of Sleep Mode, it can be awakened by turning the power off for at least five
minutes, or by pressing the Reset button.
Reset Button
The reset button activates the ergoFET. It can also be used to clear the displays and to reinitialize the unit.
Reset may be necessary to wake up the gauge from sleep mode, or to clear occasional stray readings caused by
static discharge. Refer to Image A for location of Reset Button.
It is not necessary to press reset after each test. The ergoFET automatically begins recording new data
when the force threshold is crossed.
