Safety/Proper Usage
Caution:
Please read this manual carefully before measurement, keep it properly after reading, in
preparation to read again.
•
It is possible to damage the gauge or cause serious accident if the device is operated incorrectly. Proper usage
of the device is described in the manual.
•
If the device is being used to test impact load, select a model with a safe load range of at least double the
impact load.
•
In destructive testing, protective masks and gloves should be worn to prevent the occurrence of the damage
to the human body because of material splashing during testing.
•
Do not use fixtures which have been damaged or severely bent. For users, please refer to the relevant
specifications in this manual when using a self-made fixture (various types of fixtures are provided for
customers to select according to need).
•
Do not test force exceeding the maximum range of the gauge. Otherwise, it may cause damage to the sensor,
or even an accident.
•
When the tested force exceeds 110% of the range, a continuous buzzer alarm will activate. In this case, please
remove the load quickly, or reduce the load.
•
When using the power adapter, the voltage of power supply should be the same as the rated voltage, or it
may cause electric shock or fire
•
Do not pull out or insert the plug with wet hands, or it may lead to electric shock.
•
Don't pull the cable of the power adapter to pull the plug, to avoid wire broken and electric shocks.
•
Please use a soft cloth to clean the gauge. Soak the cloth in the water with cleaning agent, wring it out, and
then use it to remove the dust and dirt.
Note:
Do not use volatile chemicals to clean the gauge (such as volatile agents, thinner, alcohol, etc.).
