Cause
Presumable reason
Procedure
When turning on power, “OVR” is
displayed even if not applying load
and cannot be cleared by pushing
ZERO key.
There is possibility which
internal loadsell is broken.
Due to dropment or
overloading
Please send it for repair.
“Low bat” is displayed at LCD even
if charging up for more than one day.
Voltage of battery is low.
・ End of battery life
Please send it fot repair.
・ Breakdown of battery
・ Breakdown of charging
It doesn't display even if pressing
POWER Key.
Battery is weak.
Voltage of battery is lower.
Please charge a battery.
“BAT” isn't displayed on
LCD even if charging up.
・ Breakdown of battery
Please send it for repair.
・ Breakdown of internal
circuit
・ Breakdown of AC adapter
The value becomes “0”automatically
when measuring small value near 0.
You can use tracking to
prevent the fluctuation of the
measuring value near “0” .
Tracking is on.
Please set tracking off.
(Refer to “4.4.Tracking”）
Value changes if you change the
direction of force gauge.
This is not breakdown.
This equipment is measuring
the empty weight of sensor
on his own.
Sensor or tools also have
weight empty operating.
Push ZERO key after setting
the direction to measure and
clear the measuring value.
Although I downloaded “Toriemon” ,
it doesn't work even if connecting
force gauge.
-
Since “Toriemon” is soft
forRS-232C transmission,
it doesn't respond to USB
transmission.
Please download
“ToriemonUSB” and use it.
Questions
Explanation
Reference
How long does rechargeable battery
（Nickel hydride battery） last?
Enable to use 500 times or more by
complete electric discharge. It depends on
the status of use.
Please charge battery after discharging
electricity until “LO BAT” is displayed at
LCD.
Why are there various rating
capacity?
The value is more accurate when measuring
near rating as much as possible.
It is ideal to use this equipment with 50%
rating or more.
Why does measuring data show
variations?
Although there are many reasons, the
measuring value is affected by vibration if
you hold by hands.
Fluctuation will be reduced when using
stand.
How does biased loading affect
accurancy?
Although it depends on the angle, you
cannot measure accurate value with biased
loading.
How do you proceed ISO cariblation
?
It measures the value by pushing or pulling
load by certificated weight.
Weight with traceability is necessary.
Please tell easy test methods which
user can.
Please hang the weihgt which weight is
clear.
Can user exchange battery?
User cannot exchange battery.
Please let our dealers know since exchange
of battery is as repairment.
Do you have CAD data ？
Yes.
Please let our dealers know.
Is it possible to use in water ？
No. It is not waterproof structure.
Please pay attention not to pour water.

It’ s avairable to measure the compression and tension force. Measuring value is appeared at all times.
１） Press POWER key and release ( Turn POWER on after release)
２） Press ZERO key to tare.
Displayed measuring value is averaged out the sampling value (every 1 msec ＊ ) per display update time.
Display update time of default factory setting is 3 times/second. In order to increase the display response against the change of measuring
value, you may change the set value of display update time.
You can increase this time up to 20 times/second (regarding the change of display update time, please refer “4.5.2. Display update time” .)
To change the display units, just press UNIT and the units will change every time the button is pressed.
Ｎ→ kg （g） → lb (oz) → Ｎ
”OVR” shows on the LCD when the load exceed 120％ of the capacity (tare value is not included ).
Please reduce the load immediately.
Press ZERO key to reset the measuring value. Please press the ZERO key before starting the measurement in order not to change the starting
display value because of the own weight or measuring direction or weight of measuring fixture.
Measuring range is from maximum pulling load to maximum compression load. When measuring range is over, “OVR” is displayed.
Press the ZERO key under the plus peak hold mode or minus peak hold mode, plus peak value or minus peak value is cleared. At the plus peak
hold mode and minus peak hold mode, tare does not performed even if press and release ZERO key.
When turning POWER on, tare is automatically performed (if you turn POWER on during the getting load, display becomes “0” and you cannot
measure accurate value).
