7. Operating the digital gauge
The maximum load capacity of the MAN-SD1S-C transducer at the base of the gauge is
0–145kN and the gauge should not be loaded above this figure as permanent damage will
occur. Eventually the battery will require replacement (when warning indicator comes on)
and the battery fitted under the removable cover on the back of the gauge. Replace with
type PP3 9 volt unit.
Operate Gauge in ‘Normal rise and fall’ mode
Press button
to switch gauge on to ‘Normal rise and fall mode’.
This will give a load reading in kN rising as the operating handle on the
tester is turned clockwise. By turning the handle anti-clockwise the load
will decrease and show the reading decreasing.
Press
to switch off gauge when finished.
Operate Gauge in ‘Peak Hold’ mode
1. Press button
to switch gauge on

6. To zero reading press
and wait 2 seconds.
Gauge is now in peak hold mode and will display the maximum
load achieved and retain this even when the load has decreased.
Return to ‘Normal rise and fall’ mode
1. Press then
and display shows MAX.
2. Press
and display reads OFF.
3. Press twice and display reads 0.
4. Press and together twice until display reads - 0.0
(The last digit may not read 0 due to ambient temperature.)

To Zero the gauge
If the gauge is reading a small
amount (0.32 for example) when
no load is applied - use the
following instructions to re-set the
display to zero.
First release any pressure held in
the Hydraulic Coupler by pushing
in the pin at the base of the
coupler.
Press
to turn on then

8. Operating instructions for optional Bluetooth
Digital Gauge
Hydrajaws revolutionary digital technology
captures test results using an Android OS
mobile device and dedicated software ap
-
plication, allowing for instant visual graphs
onsite for anchors & eyebolts. The digital
system using Bluetooth produces real time
visual graphs for each test.
A button and active LED on the top of
the Model 2008 tester housing indicates
that the tester is equipped with this feature
(fig 18)
.
To switch on the Bluetooth element simply
press the button and the LED light will
eliminate and begin to flesh. Open the
software application on the mobile device
and select the tester gauge to establish a
connection. When a Bluetooth connection
has been established the LED will become
constant.
Turn on the digital gauge as normal
via the P button and operate as normal.
Loadings will be visible on the tester
gauge and results will be recorded on the
mobile device*.
