Precautions
Operation
When the carrying case is opened make sure you have all
the accessories that came with the instrument; namely
adapter/charger, hook, flat head, and hanger.
1. Charge the batteries for approx. 12 hrs. before using the
gauge. (Batteries come discharged from the factory)
When batteries are charging the BAT indicator is ON.
When the batteries are fully charged the indicator goes
OFF.
2. Hand tighten appropriate attachment to unit's measuring
shaft (Do not use a wrench or any other device to
tighten the attachment).
3. Press the POWER switch and release. On the release of
the switch the display will momentarily show all 8's
(Digit segment self-check) and then will show some
zeros with the last one or two digits changing to some
random numbers. Also the unit of measurement (lbs,
kgs or N) will appear above the digits and stay as long
as the instrument is on.
You have just received the world's most rugged and
economical force gauge. For the price of a mechanical
gauge you have all the advantages of a small digital
instrument ergonomically designed to fit perfectly in the
palm of your hand. With the touch of a button you can
measure force in any engineering units desired (lbs, kgs
and N).
The unit's microprocessor enables it to measure forces very
accurately in the "average" or "peak" mode. Its LCD
display is smartly designed to inform the operator at all
times of exactly what's going on.
If the hanger is used or a test stand, reversing the display
so that it can be read right-side-up is a cinch. Just press
two buttons and the digits and units indicators reverse
themselves instantly.
