opening/closing forces.
Model: CM-PG2
• 0-35 lbs. force range
• This unit is larger and more robust. It is suitable for
measuring the force of full-size, normal speed door
operators as well as measuring the closing force of
”overhead doors” and ”elevator doors”
Model: CM-PG3
• 10-50 lbs. force range
• This robust unit is used to measure ”door opening” and
”sliding-door” breakout panel force.
Model: CM-PG4
• 10-66 lbs. force range
• This robust unit is used to measure ”door opening” and
