Recommendation before first use
1.
Sensor
Never connect accessories (hook, plate . . .) directly to the sensor rod. Use the
extension rod delivered with your instrument.
In spite of its mechanical protection, sensor overload can damage the instrument. The
instrument stops if the capacity has been exceeded 10 times. You have to return it to
ANDILOG TECHNOLOGIES for checking.
It is important that measured values are under 90% of the sensor capacity.
2.
Test Stand
The gauge can be affixed to a test stand via two M5 screws, which should not extend through the
back cover more than 3 mm. Please contact ANDILOG Technologies if you need more information or
if you need a fixture to mount your force gauge to a test stand.
