Overview
The display is designed for use in conjunction with
chuck and drawbar force sensors. Two versions are
available: wired and wireless (depending on the type
of sensor used).
Getting Started
Wireless: turn on the sensor.
Wired: connect the sensor to the display using the
supplied cable.
Press display’s On/Off button. The unit will briefly
display the calibration due date for the sensor.
From this point, follow instructions for the particular
sensor in use.
When finished, Press On/Off to power down the
display. For wireless sensors, the sensor must be
powered down separately.
Wireless: The display can only communicate with
one sensor at a time. The display will connect to
the first sensor detected. To switch sensors, simply
turn off the first sensor and turn on the second. The
display will automatically connect to the second
sensor.
Zeroing the Display
The display will automatically zero on powerup. If
needed, the display can be re-zeroed at any time by
pressing the Zero button.
When peak force display is enabled, pressing the
Zero button will also reset the stored peak value.
Battery Replacement
The display uses a standard 9V battery. To replace
the battery, open the compartment on the back side.
A rechargeable battery can be used.
Calibration
Unlike our force sensors, the display does not
require calibration. However, firmware updates will
be available from time to time.
