Peak Mode Configuration Features
Feature Options Description and Functionality
Status <Enable, Disable> Enables and Disables the Peak mode from the function menu. When
disabled feature is not available for selection while pressing the
function key.
Mode <Auto, Manual> Manual: Peak force is automatically detected and displayed on the
Force Gauge. START key must be pressed to store the display peak
value. The force gauge must be manually zeroed before next
measurement by pressing the

0

ENTER key. Measurement
sequence is based on the quantity parameter set in the Quantity
field. Trigger value must be reached before peak force is detected.
Peak forces below the trigger value are disregarded.
Auto: The peak force is automatically detected and displayed on the
Force Gauge. The result is automatically stored. The Force Gauge is
automatically zeroed before the next measurement. Auto utilizes
peak detection and auto reset parameters.
Quantity: custom value Number of measurements that must be captured to end the
measurement cycle.
Trigger custom value The amount of Force that needs to be reached before the
measurement sequence begins.
Peak Detec. custom value Allows to disregard unwanted peaks and sets peak sensitivity
detection. Peak values are stored only if the detected peak is
followed by a set percentage drop defined by the Peak Detection
parameter.
Auto Reset <1s, 3s, 5s, 10s, 30s> The time the peak value is displayed on the screen before
automatically zeroing.
Threshold <On, Off> Enables and disables measurement threshold monitoring.
Min custom value Minimum threshold value. When reached, MIN is displayed.
Target custom value Target threshold value when reached OK is displayed.
Max custom value Maximum threshold value. When reached, and exceeded MAX is
displayed.
Exit Exits the Applications settings folder.

To capture a Peak force, align the force gauge shaft to the object measured. If measuring by hand grasp the
device firmly. For compression push the force gauge forward with the attached tip pressing into the object. For
tension, wrap the hook tip around the object and pull the force gauge away from the object.
