DF II Series User Manual
lOAD bAR GRAPh
The DF II Series gauge features a dynamic bar graph
that shows the force or torque being applied to the
gauge.
The purpose of the bar graph is to provide a visual
indicator to the user when they are approaching the
sensor’s capacity.
The bar graph has a “T” for tension and a “C” for
compression to indicate direction of force. The bar
graph fills from the centerline and changes from
green to yellow to red indicating proximity to the
sensor’s capacity. If the DFS II-R-ND uses the STS
torque sensor, the bar graph will change to show
“CW” for clockwise and “CCW” for counter-clockwise.
SENSOR OvERlOAD PROTECTION
The DF II Series gauge features mechanical overload
protection up to 150% of the sensor’s capacity.
Mechanical overload protection is provided in the
tension and compression direction for sensors with a
capacity of 110 lbf (500N) and below.
SENSOR OvERlOAD DISPlAY
When the DF II Series gauge senses that the force
applied is approximately 116% of the sensor
capacity, the bar graph will fill and the lower
message line will display “OVERLOAD”.
PASSWORD PROTECTION
The DF II Series offers Password Protection for the unit
set-up. The Password feature may be accessed by:
-Pressing F3 (More) four times, scrolling down to
select Password Enable, then pressing Enter. The
Status will show if the function is On or Off.
-If Off, Press the F1 key (On) to enable the Password
protection. Once enabled, the user will need to know
the password to change the Mode, Peak Values, etc.
on the unit.
- If the user attempts to change a protected param-
eter, the unit will prompt for a password to be entered.
The password is entered using the Navigation Pod
(Up/Down Arrows to increment or decrement value
and Left/Right arrows to select the digit). The Factory
Default value is “0000”.
- Once the digits are entered, The Enter key is
pressed to allow for changes to the unit.
-The user also is prompted to use the Home key to
exit if the Password is not known.
- To change the Password, from the Password screen,
hold the Zero key for 5 seconds and a message will
show to enter the new password.
NoTE: Green load bar graph to 75% of
capacity. Yellow load bar graph from 75%
to 90% of capacity. Red load bar graph
greater than 90% of capacity.
CAUTIoN:
If OVERLOAD is displayed,
you may have damaged the sensor.
CAUTIoN: The bargraph provides you
with visual indication on the amount of force or
torque being applied to the load cell sensor or
torque sensor. Use caution when applying loads
and torque. If the bargraph is nearly filled and is
red, stop applying load or torque to prevent dam-
age to your sensor.
