GENERAL
Section 1
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 (if equipped with
the communication option)
MODE (ADVANCE) Switches the display between normal and peak modes
of operation
CLEAR (ESCAPE) Clears peak readings from memory
Orientation
In order to accomodate a variety of testing requirements, the orientation of the loading
shaft may be set up in either of the two positions shown below. In order to change the
loading shaft orientation, simply unscrew two screws on the back side of the housing,
separate the two housing halves, rotate one half 180° and reassemble.

Recommended use of a dowel pin
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.
CONFIGURATION
Section 3
The Series BG 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
