– FB and FC Series Force Gauges
Auto-Save / Automatic Data Storing [Menu>Data Manager>Auto-Save]
Auto-save automatically saves results and statistical analysis of the measurements to the MicroSD card. When enabled
the force gauge will save results at the end of each measurements. Each result set is assigned with unique file name.
Record & Speed / Configurable Sampling Speed [Menu>Measur. Settings>Record & Speed]
The gauge can be set to measure force at a desired speed. A slower rate makes it easier for the force measurements to
be seen on the display in real-time. A faster measuring speed allows for a more accurate test as the force gauge can
capture more results in a shorter time sequence, and samples are taken more frequently.
Printout / Configurable Receipt Printing [Menu>Configuration>Printout]
The force gauge can send results directly to a printer as well as third party software such as MS excel or notepad. The
printed information can be configured to include the date, time, measurement name, user ID, signature line, and a
series of customizable notes.
External Input / Output and Input Modes (FC Models only) [Menu>Configuration>External Input]
The threshold output mode enables the Output port by sending voltage level signals which can be used for signaling or
controlling external peripherals that can connect with the force gauge. The output mode can be used in combination
with Programmable Thresholds Monitoring. Input mode allows an external button or a pedal to be used as trigger for
starting force measurements and taking samples. OUTPUT Ampacity: I max=25mA / U nom=24V (open collector type,
emitters connected
– GND) | INPUT Voltage Range IN (+)/IN (-): U in=12-18V / I in max=50Ma

Gauge Change / Interchangeable load-cell (1Kn to 50KN | FC Models Only) [Menu>Configuration>Gauge Change]
Gauge Change allows to use multiple external loadcells with one force gauge indicator. Switching between load-cells is
easily done through the force gauge menu with minimum configuration or setup. The Gauge Type feature allows to
store up to 16 external load cells. The feature is ideal for applications that require multiple result resolutions and
capacities.
