Notes
1. General notes and information
1.1. Description
The electronic force gauge is for measuring forces and weights. It consists of a transducer and the hand-held terminal connected
by a cable. This displays the measured values with seven digits, prefix and the specified unit. Factory calibration is performed
according to your specifications and the units N, kN,g, kg, t or lb. The transducer works bidirectionally, i.e. it measures in tensile
as well as compression direction. You can specify which direction of force is displayed with positive prefix and which is displayed
with negative prefix.
The force gauge can be tared and displays the current measured values or the top values in positive or negative load direction.
Some important data about your force gauge can be requested or changed via a user-friendly menu. Calibration of the force gauge,
which is also performed via the menu, is password-protected and may only be done by the factory.
1.2. Scope of delivery
The force gauge is supplied completely assembled including batteries.
It consists of a transducer and a hand-held terminal.
It is optionally supplied with a calibration certificate.
1.3. Intended use
The force gauge is for measuring tensile and compression loads. The transducer may only be loaded up to its nominal load. The
nominal load can be found on the type plate of the transducer. You can also find this information in the declaration of conformity on
page 11 or read it on the force gauge's display when switching it on. There must be no transverse forces affecting the transducer.
The hand-held terminal must not be subject to any forces.
This force gauge is only intended for exclusive use in areas that are not subject to calibration regulations.
The force gauge is a highly sensitive measuring instrument. It must be treated accordingly.
1.4. Safety instructions
There is risk to life and limb of the operator and other persons involved in case of
incorrect operation or misuse of the force gauge or non-observance of the safety
regulations. The measuring instrument or other material assets may be damaged.
All persons involved in commissioning, operation and maintenance of the force gauge
must
- be qualified respectively,
- read, understand and adhere to these operating instructions carefully,
- ensure that the safety regulations are also observed by other persons involved.
Getting under a suspended load or entering the direct risk area is prohibited!
Apart from that, the general accident prevention regulations, in particular the UVV 18
VBG 9a as well as the trade association regulations for safety and health at work BGV
A1 (previously UVV 1 VBG 1), are to be observed.
