INTRODUCTION

The DFG70 is a highly sophisticated, laboratory grade digital force gauges which offer programmable
high/low setpoints for go/no go testing.Store up to 256 values into memory,which can be displayed or
transmitted using digimatic or serial output ports. Use the real mode to display load transients, or the
peak mode to capture the peak force achieved during a test. Select measuring units between Pounds
(ounces), Kilograms (grams) and Newtons.

GENERAL OPERATION

1 Press . After a beep, 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.
2 HAND TIGHTEN (no tool!) selected attachment to the measuring shaft.
3 When the gauge is turned on, it will go directly to its real time measuring mode. Press to mea-

sure peak forces.“Peak icon” on the display indicates peak measuring mode, whereas the peak read-

ing will not change until a higher value is measured.To delete the last peak reading,press .To end

peak reading mode and go to real time measuring mode, press again.

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 mea-

sure forces perpendicular 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 110%

of the rated capacity,the gauge beeps to warn.NEVER exceed 200% of the rated capacity, or the load

cell will be damaged.
2 When mounting DFG70, 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 perpen-

dicular 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 disassemble the gauge.Disassembly voids warranty.
