It is possible to activate a backlight on the BFG-HS display.
Press and hold RESET whilst powering up the BFG-HS with
the key. The backlight is now operating.
Please note that battery consumption is doubled when using
the backlight.
To conserve battery power, it is possible to activate an Auto-
off function so that the gauge powers down after 2 minutes
since the last key press.
Press and hold ZERO whilst powering up the BFG-HS with the
key. The symbol Ao will appear in the display to indicate
Auto-off is active.
For tension applications it is often desirable to reverse the
display, so that the operator can read it more comfortably.
By pressing and holding MAX whilst powering up the BFG-
HS with the
key, the display is inverted.
If you suspect that your loadcell transducer has sustained an
overload it is possible to check the status of the loadcell
immediately.
Symptoms of overload may be
(a)
OL in display
(b)
buzzer
sound
(c)
probe not aligned perpendicularly to gauge
(d)
load indicator bar present even under zero load.
Place the gauge horizontally on a flat level surface. Press and
hold UNITS until the password menu appears with 0000 in
the display. Press ZERO four times and you will now see 2
values shown as %.
The upper value shows the % offset when the gauge was last
successfully calibrated. The lower value shows the % offset
currently present on the gauge.
