Model DFG-RS5 Digital Force / Torque Indicator

7 OPERATING MODES
Caution!
In any operating mode, if the capacity of the instrument has been exceeded by more than 110%,
the display will show “OVER” to indicate an overload. A continuous audible tone will be sounded
until the MENU key has been pressed or the load has been reduced to a safe level.
Five operating modes are possible with the DFG-RS5 indicator. To cycle between the modes, press
MODE
while in the home screen.
7.1 Real time (RT)
The primary reading corresponds to the live measured reading.
7.2 Peak Compression (PC) / Peak Clockwise (PCW)
- for force / torque sensors, respectively
The primary reading corresponds to the peak compression or clockwise reading observed. If the actual
load decreases from the peak value, the peak will still be retained in the primary reading area of the
display. Pressing
ZERO
will reset the value.
7.3 Peak Tension (PT) / Peak Counter-clockwise (PCCW)
– for force / torque sensors, respectively
Same as above, but for tension / counter-clockwise readings.
7.4 Average Mode (AVG)
Average mode is used to obtain an average load reading over a specified period of time. Applications
include measurement of peel force, bearing torque, muscle strength, frictional force, and other tests
requiring time-averaged readings.
Before the parameters of Average Mode can be configured, it must be enabled. To do so, select
Average
Mode
from the menu, scroll to
Enable
and press
ENTER
. The display appears as follows:
Then, scroll to
Settings
, and press
ENTER
to configure the parameters. The parameters are as follows:
Parameter Description
Initial Delay
The time delay, in seconds, before the averaging sequence commences.
Averaging Time
The time duration, in seconds, of the averaging sequence.
Trigger Load
The minimum load required to start the averaging sequence. Toggle between
compression and tension (or clockwise and counter-clockwise) directions by pressing
the
DIRECTION
key. Initial delay follows the trigger load.
