Zeroing the Gauge
Changing the Unit
of Measure
Max (peak) Readings
“Max” Mode
During the operation of the gauge it is often necessary
to zero the display – e.g. when you wish to tare out
the weight of a grip, so it does not become part of the
measured reading. Press and release the
ZERO key.
The display will blink momentarily as the zero opera-
tion is carried out.
You can choose from the following units of measure
depending on the capacity of your gauge:
milliNewtons, kiloNewtons, Newtons, gram-force,
kilogram-force, ounce-force or pound-force.
To change the display units press and release the
UNITS key. Each successive key press will select the
next available units until the gauge returns to its
original setting. The AFG automatically converts
readings as new units of measure are selected.
The gauge detects and stores maximum (peak) force
in both compressive and tensile directions.
Press the MAX key. The display will show the word
MAX together with the highest tensile force and the
highest compressive force detected during the test.
The current load being applied to the load sensor is
also displayed. See Figure 3a.
Press the MAX key again and the display will show
the maximum tensile force identified by the symbol
. See Figure 3b. Press the MAX key again and the
display will show the maximum compressive force
identified by the
symbol. See Figure 3c.
