KEYPAD AND NAVIGATION

The DFC keypad is multi-functional. There are four keys. 

ON/OFF/MENU KEY

This key is used to power the gage on/off. Press to 
power the gage on. Press and hold for 3 seconds to 
power the gage off.
This key is also used to access the Setup Menu. When 
the gage is powered ON, press to access the Setup Menu.
This key is also used to navigate UP when in the 
Setup Menu.

ZERO KEY

This key is used to zero the displayed values. Press 
to zero load and if connected to the FMM digital force 
tester, zero distance.
This key is also used to navigate DOWN when in the 
Setup Menu.

SOFTKEY 1

This is the left arrow key. It is used to move out of a 
setup when in the Setup Menu.

This key may also be mapped to a specific function. 
The Setup Menu has a Key setup function where you 
may assign how Softkey 1 performs. For example, you 
can assign a SAVE function to the key. When pressed, 
the measured values are "saved" to memory.

SOFTKEY 2

This is the right arrow key. It is used to move in to a 
setup when in the Setup Menu.

function. For example, you can assign a MODE 
function to the key. Pressing the key can change the 
operating modes of the gage. You can switch from 
Real Time to Peak Tension by pressing Softkey 2.

DISPLAY LAYOUT

The force gage features a high-resolution OLED color 
display with adjustable backlight. The backlight may 
be adjusted from a setting in the Main Menu.
