The new FG-3000 Series digital force gauges are thechoice for simple, cost-effective tension and compres -sion testing.Combining one of the most compact hous -ings, yet maintaining a large back-lit LCD, these unitswere designed to fit perfectly in the hand for ease ofuse. The multi-language FG-3000’s provide menu pro-gramming for intuitive set-up of the instrument to yourdesired requirements. Three modes of operation areselectable: Track mode displays live readings, Peakmode records the maximum reading sensed during thetest, and Pre-set mode which activates user definedhigh and low limit set points. The programmable lim-its provide a quick visual and audible indication if atest passes or fails. In addition, a comparator outputenables integration of the instrument into your qual-ity system for repetitive testing such as on productionlines.The display graphics facilitate user comprehensionand operation. An analog bar graph provides perspec -tive of current reading in comparison to the full scalerange. Pass/Fail icons provide an instant response ofthe testing outcome while a storage symbol acknowl-edges when a reading is logged. A menu-selectabledisplay orientation streamlines switching from push topull testing for portable or test stand applications.FG-3000 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 thegauge. NEVER exceed 150% of the rated capacity, or the load cell willbe damaged. At 110% of the rated capacity, the display will flash awarning.When mounting FG-3000 Series Digital Force Gauges, use M6 mount-ing screws with a maximum insertion depth of 7 mm into the gauge.Hand tighten 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 measuring shaft – damage to loadcell and/or shaft may result.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.When using adapter measuring heads, do not use tools. Hand tightenonly.SPECIFICATIONSAccuracy: ± 0.3% F.S.Selectable Units: N, kgf, ozf, and lbf. (Depending on Range)Overload Capacity: 150% of F.S.
