LTL Quick User Guide
Introduction
The LTL electronic dynamometer is a force measurement load sensor and digital readout in one instrument. The LTL can be
used to measure tension or weight. A Communicator can remotely view the display and control the instrument. Check your
user manual CD for complete setup and operating instructions.
Installing Batteries
Unscrew and remove the battery compartment cover. Place two ‘C’ size batteries into the battery compartment as shown
below and screw the cover back on tightly.
Communicator
The Communicator has 4 AA batteries. To replace, remove rear battery cover and replace with fresh batteries in the proper
arrangement.
Battery LIfe
The time required between battery changes can vary with usage, functions enabled, temperature, duration of use and
recovery time, display update rate, battery grade and more.
To maximize battery life:
• Disable radio if not being used. Even if an optional radio board is not installed, the software will run, if
enabled.
• Disable other functions such as RS-232 and backlight.
• Warm environments result in longer battery life over cool environments.
• Use high quality alkaline batteries.
• Turn off instrument when not in use. Alkaline batteries partially recover when the instrument is off.
Î Please note... Remove batteries from the instrument when using the external AC power supply
Care
The LTL is built to be rugged and endure typical industrial and commercial use. It is still, however, a precision instrument that
should be treated with care. Store the instrument in its carry case with power off. Remove batteries if not being used.
Accuracy
Cooper -supplied shackle pins and centering spacers provided by are required to achieve highest accuracy. The force being
measured must be in line with the unit. Apply load in the center of the shackle bows & insure the instrument is centered on
the shackle pin. Torque and bending loads should be relieved.
