Recommendation before first use
a.
Battery
The battery reaches its maximum capacity after several charges. This is very important! A new force
gauge has a battery that does not have its full capacity at the first power on. The force gauge will
shut down automatically if the battery is too low.
The battery life is 8 hours under a normal use. The gauge should be charged after normal use. You
should charge it every 3 weeks, to ensure a maximum life time of the batteries.
It is recommended to use the original power adaptor supplied by ANDILOG Technologies. The power
adaptor has the following specifications: 12V, 1.5A
b.
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.
c.
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.
