GENERAL OPERATION

1 Press . The capacity of the gauge is displayed and the gauge will automatically enter into the

measuring mode. Press and hold for at least four (4) seconds each time you wish to select
between pounds (ounces), kilograms (grams) and Newtons.

4 If necessary,press to tare the weight of the attachment and shaft orientation. Pressing will

also clear the peak reading.

5 Make sure to apply tension and compression (-) forces to the gauge in line

with the measuring shaft. DO NOT attempt to measure forces at an angle to
the measuring shaft - damage to load cell and/or shaft may result.

PRECAUTIONS

1 WARNING!! REGARDLESS of whether the unit is ON or OFF, do not exceed the capacity of the

gauge.At 105% of the rated capacity, the display will flash. Never exceed 200% of the rated capacity,
or the load cell will be damaged.

2 When mounting, use M4 mounting screws with a maximum insertion depth of 5 mm into the gauge.
3 Measure in line tension and compression forces only. Do not attempt to measure forces at an angle

to the measuring shaft - damage to load cell and/or shaft may result.

4 Hand tighten attachments only. Do not use tools.
5 Make sure this gauge and all peripherals are powered down before attaching any cables.
6 Do not remove the warranty seal or disassemble the gauge.Disassembly voids warranty.

RECHARGING NI-CAD BATTERY

1 To maximize the life of the battery, power will automatically shut off after 10 minutes of non-use.

This automatic shut off feature can be bypassed and the gauge may be used continuously when the
AC adapter/charger is used.

2 “BATT”icon will flash when gauge needs to be recharged.To maximize battery

life, do not recharge until “BATT” icon flashes.With proper recharging, battery can
be recharged 500 times.

3 Push to turn off power.

IMPORTANT! Use the provided adapter/charger exclusively and plug into the correct AC output. It

takes 8 hours to charge fully.

4 When the gauge is turned off, make sure the AC adapter/charger is disconnected to avoid overcharging.
