Using the Gauge
Fitting accessories
Mounting to a test stand
Powering up
Affix either the short extension rod (30mm long) or the long
extension rod (130mm long) to the loadcell probe in the hole
at the bottom of the gauge by tightening it gently with the
fingers.
Your chosen grip or accessory may now be connected to the
extension rod.
Note:
When fitting a grip ensure that it is screwed finger-tight
only. Excessive torque can damage the loadcell.
On the rear of the gauge there are two M5 threaded holes,
which can be used for mounting the gauge to a Mecmesin
test stand.
Each Mecmesin test stand is supplied with a dedicated
‘dovetailed mounting bracket’ and screws for this purpose.
If you wish to mount the gauge to another type of stand,
ensure that the screws used are threaded into the gauge to a
maximum depth of 5.5mm. The final thread is peaned but if
screws are fitted beyond this depth, damage to the loadcell
will occur.
As shown in Figure 1 the control panel has 6 keys:-
To power up the gauge press
