2. Introduction
The KMG-2000-G force-measuring device is used for the determination of dynamic and
static forces as well as the duration of these at the closing edges of doors and gates.
According to the standard, three single measurements must be made at each test point for
a normal measurement, the mean value of which then represents the measured value that
is relevant for standard purposes. The following four measured values are determined per
measuring operation in order to properly assess the closing force in accordance with the
standard:
1. Static force:
Fs
2. Maximum dynamic force:
Fd
3. Time in relation to dynamic force range
td
4. End force on expiry of the measuring period Fe
of 5 seconds
Permitted Peak Forces in accordance with DIN EN 12453 (Extract)
The static force is the mean value of all the force values within the static time range.
