FGV-HXY Digital Force GaugeOperation ManualHigh Capacity Digital Force Gauges with 180° reversible dis-play & dual labeled keypad for both push, pull applications.The Series FGV-HXY Digital Force Gauges offer an enhancedheavy-duty housing allowing them to be utilized in high capac-ity tension and compression applications. These instrumentsare utilized in a variety of applications such as, incoming qualityinspection, finished goods testing, R&D or almost any portableor force stand testing requirement.Models are available in 500 lb or 1000 lb ranges providing nec-essary performance for high capacity testing.The 180° reversible display combined with the adjustable forcedirection and dual labeled keypad enable these units to excelin both compression and tension applications in any direction.FGV models possess onboard statistical calculations and pro-vide fast access to maximum, minimum, average and standarddeviation data. Models include the free Toriemon software andUSB cable allowing further data analyis on a PC. The FGV-HXY’s 1,000 point memory allows for data exporting in real timeor after testing is complete. In addition, the RS-232C, USB andanalog outputs provide maximum communication flexibility.Do not operate or store instrument in the followinglocations:Explosive areas, near water, oil, dust or chemicals; ar-eas where the temperatures can exceed 104°F(40° C)Take precaution to not drop the force gauge. Damageto the sensor may occur.Do not modify, disassemble or attempt to repair theunit. Send to the factory for proper repair.If upon delivery damage to the unit is detected, do notoperate the unit. Notify the shipping carrier immedi-ately to obtain damage claim instructions.Only measure forces that are in line with the measur-ing shaft. Do not attempt to take any measurements(tension or compression) at any angle. Failure to keepmeasurements in line will damage the instrument.Capacity: -500HXY: 500 lb, 250 kg, 2500 N; -1000HXY: 1000lb, 500 kg, 4448 NResolution: 0.1 lb/0.1 kg/1 NAccuracy: ±0.2% F.S.Display: Four digit LCD, .47” high (12 mm) with various indi-cators including tension and low battery indication(reversible) Minus sign for tensionAverage/Peak Mode: SelectableDisplay Update: 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 1 secSampling Rate: 1000 HzOverload Capacity: 150% of F.S.Power: Rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries (included) or ACadapter/charger (included)Auto Power Shut-Off: Yes (not active if adapter/charge isin use)Battery Charge: 17 hours (when fully charged)Recharge Time: Approximately 18 hours (when fully dis-charged)Temperature Range: 32 - 104°F (0 - 40°C)Dimensions: 8.43” x 3.23” x 2.25” (214 x 82 x 57 mm)Product Weight: Approx. 2 lb (900 g) for 500 lb range; 2.65lb (1.20 kg) for 1000 lb rangePackage Weight: Approx. 7.45 lb (3.38 kg) for 500 lb range;8.25 lb (3.74 kg) for 1000 lb rangeCertification: CE, RoHSWarranty: 2-YearIncluded Accessories: AC adapter/charger, carrying case,2 handles, metric thread to inch adapter and attachments (flathead, hook, chisel, notched head, cone head, extension rod),USB cable.
