Operating Instructions
When measuring Compression, the meter will show a “-” symbol. While
measuring, be sure to have the Sensor aligned with the object being measured. Do not measure on an angle, as the Sensor may be damaged and
the readings will not be accurate.
1. Turn on the meter by pressing the Power Button. To turn the meter
off, hold the Power Button for 2 seconds.
2. Select the measuring unit. For instructions on this, please see the
Advanced Settings section.
3. Connect an Adapter and the measuring object to the Sensor. The
measuring object should be in a straight line. Do not apply any
force while in Standby Mode.
4. Zero Adjust the meter by pushing Zero Button before every measurement.
5. Start measuring by giving force (push or pull) to the Sensor. The
screen will display the Average reading value. To change the display direction, push the Reverse Button.
6. There are two kind sampling time of display, Fast and Slow. The
Display will indicate “FAST” if measuring in Fast Sampling Time,
and “SLOW” if measuring under Slow Sampling Time. Push the
Fast/Slow Button to switch between Fast and Slow Sampling.
Note: Over range of tension will display as “
compression will display as “
----
Peak Hold Measurement
The meter can measure the peak value of force both of tension & compression operation. While taking a measurement, as described above,
press the Peak Button to switch to Peak Hold Mode. The Display will
show the “PEAK” indicator, and during measurement the Display will
freeze on the Peak hold value.
Alarm beeper
If the measuring value is over 100.00 Kg, an internal buzzer will sound.

Datalogger
Preparation Before Executing the Datalogger Function:
1. Insert the optional SD card into the SD card socket.
2. Before you use an SD card with this meter for the rst time, it is
recommend to format the SD card. See Advanced Settings section of this manual for instructions.
3. If this is the rst time the meter is used you need to adjust the
clock. See Advanced Settings section of this manual for instructions.
4. Now you need to set the decimal format. The numerical data
structure downloaded to the SD card is defaulted used the “.”
as the decimal, for example “20.6” “1000.53”. But in certain
countries the “,” is used as the decimal point, for example “20,
6” “1000,53”. See Advanced Settings section of this manual for
instructions on how to change the Decimal Character.
Auto Datalogger (Set sampling time ≥1 second)
1. Start Datalogging; press the REC Button, and the “REC” symbol
will appear on the LCD screen, then press the Logger Button, the
“REC” symbol will ash while the measuring data and time information is being saved in memory. To set the sampling time, and to
toggle the beeper sound on or off, refer to the Advanced Settings
section of this manual.
2. Pause the Datalogging; while Datalogging, if press the Logger
Button once. While paused, the “REC” symbol will stop ashing.
Press the Logger Button again to resume Datalogging, and the
“REC” symbol will begin to ash again.

3. Stop Datalogging; while the Datalogger function is paused, press
the REC Button for 2 seconds. The “REC” symbol will disappear
indicating the Datalogging function has stopped.
Manual Datalogger (Set sampling time = 0 seconds)
1. Set sampling time is to 0 second; Press the REC Button, and the
“REC” symbol will appear on the LCD screen. Press the Logger
Button, and the “REC” symbol will ash once and one Beep will
sound, at the same time the measuring data along the time information will be saved in memory. The lower Display will show the
Position (record) number, which is saved as well.
2. To Change the Position Number; press the Down Button and the
lower position number will ash on the display. Press the Up or
Down Buttons to set the Position Number (1 to 99) to help identify
the measurement location. The lower Display will show P x (x = 1
to 99). After the position number is selected, press the Enter Button to conrm.
3. Stop Datalogging; press the REC Button for 2 seconds, and the
“REC” symbol will disappear indicating the Datalogging function
has stopped.
Peak Hold Datalogger
1. Install the meter on to the optional test stand and turn on the
meter
2. Press the Peak Button and the Display will show “PEAK” & “FAST”
3. Press the Zero Button to set the Zero Value
4. Press the Logger Button and the screen will display “DATA
RECORD” while the sampling time value in ms will appear on
the bottom of the screen. The meter is now ready for Peak Hold
Datalogging.
5. If the applied force value is > 0.2 Kg (1% full capacity), the
measurement value and sampling period will save to the internal
memory circuit in sequence. To change the Sampling Time, please
see the Advanced Settings section of this manual.

6. When the peak value is obtained, the indicator “DATA RECORD”
will disappear, while the “PEAK” indicator and the Peak Value will
remain. The bottom of the Display will show the data record number and count down to zero, while saving the data to the SD card.
Checking the Time
During normal functions (not Datalogging), press the Time Check Button
and the lower LCD display will show the Year, Month/Date, Hour/Minute.
Check Sampling Time Information
During normal functions (not Datalogging), press the Sampling Button and
the lower LCD display will show the Sampling Time Information.
SD Card Data Structure
1. The rst time the SD card is used in the meter, the SD card will
generate a folder: FGC01
2. The rst time you use the Datalogger, in the folder FGC01, a new
le name FGC01001.XLS will be created. The Datalogger will use
this le until the Data has reached to 30,000 rows. The meter
will then will generate a new le with a subsequent number, for
example FGC01002.XLS.
3. The folder FGC01 can hold 99.XLS les. When that number has
been reached, the meter will then will generate a new folder with
a subsequent number, for example FGC02. Max number of FGC-folders is 10.
Data Transfer from SD card to Computer (EXCEL Software)
1. After Datalogging, remove the SD card from the SD card slot.
2. Plug in the SD card into the Computer’s SD card slot or insert the
SD card into the optional SD card adapter and connect to your
Computer. Turn your computer on and a folder will appear on your
desktop representing you SD card.
