The installation of a power management device, for example, a wedged clamping device on the power
line thread leads to a preloading and thus to a deviant voltage signal at the analog output.
Option: output cable or mating connector for a socket
1) Out 1 – upper limit value
2) Out 2 – lower limit value
3) GND Out
4) Analog ± 2 V
5) GND analog
6) Encoder A (optional)
7) Encoder B (optional)
10.3 USB charger
The USB charger is also included in the delivery.
11 Incremental encoder (optional)
When using PCE-MIT I in one of our test stands, the machine can be read via an optionally available
incremental encoder input on the 12-pin cable and displayed together with the force.
12 Error messages
In case of incorrect operation, which leads to an overload of the built-in load cell, 2 error messages will be
activated:
- In case of an overload of about 15% a header line
"Overload"
appears instead of the force display.
A mechanical overload protection happens at about 125% of rated load. If the overload is withdrawn in
time, this indication disappears and the handheld instrument can still be used normally.
- Because of excessive force, for example, when the meter is dropped on the force introduction axis, the
mechanical overload protection can be overcome and the sensor is mechanically deformed. Thus, the
zero point of the sensor is permanently shifted. If this offset is permanently more than 20% of the rated
load, the header line
"Overloaded"
appears at the bottom of the display in addition.
This line can be reset to default only after carried out repair, possibly sensor exchange.
13 Reset function
In the unlikely case that the device can no longer be operated because of some trouble, the system
software can be reset by pressing the reset button (on the upper right side) with the help of a small round
object (such as a paperclip). All the made settings are retained.
