The FG-7000L Series digital force gauges provide additional ten-sion and compression testing flexibility with their external load cellinput. External load cells are immediately recognized when con-nected to the display base. Three styles of load cells are availablefor your specific testing needs. The first is the ‘S’ Beam style loadcell for both tension and compression tests with capacities rang-ing from 220 lbf (100 kgf) up to 4500 lbf (2000 kgf). The secondstyle available is the ‘Ring’ type load cell for compression applica-tions with capacities ranging from 2250 lbf (1000 kgf) all the wayup to a hefty 44,000 lbf (200 kN). The third style is the “Mini Ring”type load cell for compression applications with capacities from220 lbg (100 kgf) to22 klbf (10,000 kgf).The multiple-language FG-7000L’s provide menu programmingfor easy selection and set-up of the instrument to your desiredrequirements. Four selectable modes of operation include: Trackmode for live readings, Peak mode for displaying the maximumreading, Auto Peak where the peak resets after a programmed pe-riod of time and First Peak where only the initial peak is recordedonce a decrease is sensed. The display has two selectable oper-ations, numerical view with bar graph or graphical view with bargraph that if alarm tolerances are set, provides the user a quickview where their process is in relation to their upper and lowerlimit graph lines as well as pass/fail status.These high-tech instruments can easily data log a reading at thepush of a button for simple data acquisition, or be set to continu-ous data storage. Data can be viewed on the screen, sent to theoptional printer, or loaded to be analyzed and graphed on the freesoftware program. The 1,000 point memory with definable groupsallows for multiple tests to be recorded and easily separated uponloading. In addition, the comparator output can be set up for inte-gration of the instrument into a quality system for repetitive testingsuch as on a production line.The FG-7000L’s robust housings are designed to fit perfectly inthe operator’s hand for portable testing. The large back-lit, 180°auto-reversible display, compression/tension icons, combinedwith the dual labeled key pad allows for usage of the gauge invarious positions while still being able to easily view and operate.These many features make the FG-7000L the ideal force instru-ment for various applications such as, incoming quality inspec-tion, finished goods testing, R&D or almost any force testing re-quirement.FG-7000L Digital Force GaugeOperation ManualOperators should wear protection such as a mask and gloves in casepieces or components break away from the unit under test.Whether the unit is ON or OFF, DO NOT exceed the capacity of thesensor. NEVER exceed 150% of the rated capacity for S beam, or 120%for ring type, or the load cell will be damaged. At 110% of the ratedcapacity the display will flash a warning.When mounting FG-7000L Series Digital Force Gauges, use M4 mount-ing screws with a maximum insertion depth of 7 mm into the gauge.Hand tightens mounting screws, DO NOT use tools. Do not use dam-aged clamp.Measure in line tension and compression forces only. DO NOT attemptto measure forces at an angle to the sensor – damage to load cell mayresult.Do not attempt to repair or alter this instrument. Warranty will be voidedand damage to the unit may result.Use and store within the stated temperature and humidity ranges, ordamage and failure may result.If not using this instrument for extended periods of time, remove thebatteries to prevent potential battery leakage from causing productdamage.DO NOT use tools to over torque the connection adapter. Hand-tightenonly so damage does not occur.SPECIFICATIONSAccuracy: ± 0.2% F.S.Selectable Units: kN, N, kgf, tf, lbf and klbf.
