Instruction Manual – FA Series Force Gauge
1. Carefully take the force gauge out of the case.
2. Force Gauges with an external sensor require the bearings to be screwed into the load cell for support.
Note: If using the unit on a test stand refer to the chapter: Mounting the Force Gauge on a Test Stand.
3. Select a suitable tip in order to effectively conduct a measurement. (Choose the tip that will best
measure the force of the object being tested).
4. Slowly screw the tip onto the measuring rod at the top of the force gauge.
5. If necessary, connect the force gauge to a power outlet by plugging the AC Adapter into the 12V socket
at the bottom of the unit. Once the AC adapter is connected to the force gauge, plug the other end into a
wall socket.
Turning on the Gauge
1. Press the ON/OFF key to turn the device on.
As the device powers on it initializes itself. Do not move
or attempt to use the device during this process.
Note: To accelerate the initialization process, press the
MENU key. The results from the prior initialization will
be used.
2. Once the force gauge is turned on and has a suitable
tip attached for your measurement, align the device so
that it is parallel to the object measured.
Note: Before beginning the measurement, tare the force
gauge by pressing the →0← key.
