4 Function and introduction into details
1) Turn on power by pressing button. The instrument will start a self checking
program. After “SAUTER and model name” is displayed on the screen, it gets into
working state (see picture 7). If the screen shows , this means a lack of
electricity. You have to charge the gauge as follows: insert the adaptor to 220V/50Hz
at one end and on the other connect it with the charging hole in the gauge.
“ ”flickering means “charging”, if it stops flickering, charging is finished. The
gauge can be charged under ON/OFF state and it can also be used while charging.
If a grip is installed with the sensor and the grip weight does not exceed 5% of the
load capacity, the gauge cleans zero automatically. If the grip weight exceeds 5%
over the load capacity, this may lead to a wrong measuring result displayed and you
should change to choose a light grip.
Turn off: While power is turned on, you have to press ON/OFF to turn power off, or
wait for an Auto-turn-off according to the pre-set power-off time before testing.
2) Equipe connector: choose the correct connector accessories or clamps and fix
them by screwing. Attention: don’t use too much force to screw - this could damage
the sensor. See the connector size down below, Pic. 5
3) Parameter setting interface
Press to enter into parameter setting in the initial interface, see below, Pic. 6:
