Forces greater than 150% of full-scale will produce an
audible beep until load is released and an OL symbol
will appear
permanently
on the display. If this should
occur consult your supplier to arrange inspection and
repair, if necessary.
To power down the gauge press the key.
Tensile forces are displayed on the AFG and recognised
by the symbol (See Fig. 3a)
Compressive forces are displayed on the AFG and
recognised by the symbol (see Fig. 3b)
When connected with an external ‘Smart’ torque
sensor clockwise torque and anticlockwise torque are
represented by
A load indicator bar alerts the operator to how much
load has been applied to the loadcell. As the load
approaches the maximum rating of the loadcell,
the indicator bar changes appearance when above
approximately 80% of the rated capacity. This warns
the operator that steps should be taken to prevent
excessive load being applied.
When applying tensile force, the indicator bar begins
solid in appearance, then becomes striped when the
capacity is approached. When applying compressive
force, the indicator bar begins striped and then
becomes solid
(see Fig 3a & 3b).

Basic Functions
Display of Tension/
Compression
If the AFG has suffered a
serious overload condition,
the load indicator bar will be
partially displayed even when
no load is present. This is a
warning that the load cell
is damaged and you should
immediately contact your
supplier to arrange repair.
