SECTION 1- GENERAL
Controls
Six keys on the front panel are used for all functions and control of the instrument. Some have more than one
function, depending on the mode of operation. The main functions are labeled above the keys and the
secondary functions are below the keys in smaller type. In the list below the secondary functions are in
parenthesis. For a detailed description of the secondary functions see Section 3.
POWER (ENTER) Turns power on and off
UNITS (▲) Selects units of measurement
ZERO (▼) Zeroes any tare value (up to the full capacity of the instrument) and
clears the peak readings
DATA Initiates a data transmission sequence
MODE (ADVANCE) Switches the display between normal and peak modes of operation
CLEAR (ESCAPE) Clears peak readings from memory
Orientation
In order to accommodate a variety of testing requirements, the
orientation of the loading surface may be set up in either of the two
positions shown below. Follow the instructions below to change the
loading surface orientation:
1. Remove the four screws in the rear housing
2. Separate the front and rear housings
3. Remove the two inside screws, separating the front housing and front
panel assembly, as depicted below
4. Rotate the front panel assembly 180º
5. Reassemble the front housing and front panel assembly
6. Attach to rear housing, and retighten the four screws
Upright orientation Alternate orientation
(as supplied) (for test stand mounting, etc.)
Mounting
To mount the gauge to a test stand, line up the ¼” hole in the gauge’s housing with the protruding dowel pin in
the gauge plate. Then, fasten four thumb screws through the gauge plate into the gauge housing.

Gauge shown mounted on a Model TSF test stand
SECTION 2- POWER
The gauge is powered by a 7.2-volt NiCd rechargeable battery. Since batteries are subject to self-discharge, it
may be necessary to recharge the unit after a prolonged period of storage. Plug the accompanying charger into
the AC outlet and insert the charger plug into the receptacle on the gauge. The gauge may be operated for 8-10
hours after approximately 16-18 hours of charging. Do not use chargers other than supplied or instrument
damage may occur.
There are three levels of low battery voltage indication. At the first level, the display shows a steady “LO BAT”
indicating approximately one hour of charge remaining. The second level is indicated by a flashing “LO BAT”. At
the third level, the whole display except the “LO BAT” indicator will flash for three seconds after which time the
gauge will turn itself off. This prevents the instrument from working at voltages too low for reliable operation.
SECTION 3 - CONFIGURATION
Series CG gauges have several features with programmable options allowing many user-specified choices. In
order to access the configuration menu, perform the following:
1. Turn off the gauge
2. Press and hold MODE
3. Turn on the gauge
4. Release MODE
The software version number will be displayed for a short time followed by “FltA”. The following secondary
functions of keys are used during the configuration process.
ADVANCE Step through menu choices
ENTER Select a menu choice
ESCAPE Quit any function (no change)
▲ & ▼ Increment or decrement displayed values
The following list shows all configuration options. Italics indicate factory settings.
FltA – Analog filter
FA 0 2.5 Hz RC filter disabled
