Description 

1 Measurement 

direction 
indicator 

 

– indicates compression direction (for force sensors) 

 

– indicates tension direction (for force sensors) 

 

– indicates clockwise direction (for torque sensors) 

 

– indicates counter-clockwise direction (for torque sensors) 

These indicators are used throughout the display and menu.   

2 Peaks 

The maximum measured compression/tension or clockwise/counter-clockwise 
readings. These readings are reset by pressing 

ZERO

 or by powering the 

indicator off and on. 

3 Primary 

reading 

The current displayed load reading. See 

Operating Modes

 section for 

details. If a sensor is not plugged in, this value will be replaced by a message, 
as follows: SENSOR NOT CONNECTED 

4 Load 

bar 

Analog indicator to help identify when an overload condition is imminent. The 
bar increases either to the right or to the left from the midpoint of the graph. 
Increasing to the right indicates compression or clockwise load, increasing to 
the left indicates tension or counter-clockwise load. If set points are enabled, 
triangular markers are displayed for visual convenience. This indicator reflects 
the actual load, which may not correspond to the primary reading (depends 
on operating mode). The 

ZERO

 key does not reset the load bar. See 

Operating Modes

 section for details. 

5 Units 

The current measurement unit. Abbreviations are as follows: 

Force units: 

       lbF – Pound-force 
       ozF – Ounce-force  
       kgF – Kilogram-force 
       gF – Gram-force 
       N – Newton 
       kN – Kilonewton  
       mN – Millinewton
