Functions 

8.1 

Limit value display Good / Bad 

LED display for good / bad tests  

Colour 

Function 

Red 

Exceeding the upper limit value 

Green 

Indicates that the pass-fail criterion has been 

reached 

Yellow 

Falling below the lower limit value 

 
An upper and a lower limit value can be programmed. The measuring instrument 
compares the measurement result with the limit values and outputs the result as a 
signal in red or green light diodes.  
 
Setting of the limit values see MENU 

PASS-FAIL 

With the left arrow key the cursor is moved to the desired value. With the UP or 
DOWN key the value can be changed. By pressing and holding one of these keys, 
scrolling is possible. With the right arrow key the unit can be changed. With the 
ENTER-key the settings are saved and you return to the main menu. 
The display now shows a "PF". 
The PASS-FAIL option is automatically disabled if the upper and lower limits are set 
to 0 Newton. The lower value must also always be smaller than the upper one. 

 

8.2 

Invert display 

The display can be rotated by 180°. To do this, do the following: 
When the power is off, press and hold the "MENU/ESC" key. In addition, the "On/Off" 
key is pressed and the unit switches on, thus rotating the display. 

 

8.3 

Store measured value in memory 

Any measured value can be stored in the memory at any time by pressing the 
ENTER key. A maximum of 500 readings can be stored.
