Auto-off
If the gauge is being used for a long test the user may wish to disable the auto-off function. The auto-off function
can be disabled when powering up the gauge by holding down the

the loadcell, as this can cause irreparable damage.
Forces greater than 120% of full-scale will show an ‘-OL-‘ symbol and the corresponding tension or compression
symbols on the display. If the display shows ‘OL’ (without dashes) in either of the two max modes, the loadcell is
not currently in overloaded state but has been overloaded at least once since the last

Removing recorded overloads can only be undertaken by Mecmesin or an approved distributor.
Should the instrument have sustained a catastrophic overload the symbol ‘OL’ will be permanently displayed and
the instrument must be returned to Mecmesin or an approved Mecmesin distributor for repair.
Display messages
