OPERATION MANUAL31. IntroductionThe FG series force gauges are designed for measuring pressure or pulling force inlaboratory, manufacturing and quality control applications.The gauge can be held in hand or mounted on a stand (using the four threadedholes at the bottom of the enclosure).The RS232C serial connector allows the measurement results to be transmitted to acomputer or a printer for further analysis or recording.2. SetThe basic set includes the following elements:1. Force gauge,2. Push tips – 4 pcs, 1 hook tip, 1 extension piece3. Power supply unit 230 V 50 Hz / 12 V; 1.25 A,5. SK-1 cord (dynamometer – computer),6. SK-1 cable,7. CD containing an operation manual and software,8. Warranty.
OPERATION MANUAL43. Safety instructionsRead carefully the safety instructions included below.Observe these instructions to avoid electrocution ordamage to the force gauge itself or other devicesconnected to the force gauge. Repairs and any necessary adjustments may only be conducted byqualified personnel. Do not use the force gauge when any part of the enclosure has beenremoved. Do not use the force gauge in potentially explosive atmospheres. Do not use the force gauge in areas with a high humidity. In the case of suspected damage to the force gauge, turn off the gauge anddo not use it until it is examined by a specialised servicing facility.4. Rules for handling a worn force gaugeAccording to the applicable regulations on theprotection of the environment, do not put wornelectronic devices in containers for common waste. When put out of operation, a worn force gauge can be delivered to bodiesauthorised to collect old electronic equipment or to the point of purchase.

OPERATION MANUAL77. Preparing the force gauge for operationIf the force gauge has been transported from an area with lowtemperature to an area with a higher temperature, e.g. duringwinter, water may condensate on the gauge’s enclosure. In such acase, do not turn on the gauge’s power supply, as it may lead todamage to the gauge or improper operation. Before turning on thegauge, leave it for 1 hour to acclimatise.1. Take the gauge out of the case.2. Fit a measurement tip suitable for the measurements to be conducted on thegauge plunger.Tip ATip E(hook)Tip BTip CExtensionpiece FTip DIntended use of the individual tips:- tip A – measurement of surface pressure force,- tip B – measurement of point pressure force,- tip C – measurement of pressure on an axis or an edge,- tip D – measurement of edge pressure force,- tip E – hook for measuring pull force or suspending and weighing an object,- tip F – extension piece suitable for all types of above-mentioned tips.
OPERATION MANUAL88. General rules for useWhen transporting the force gauge, unscrew the measurement tip andput the gauge in the case to protect it against accidental pressure onthe gauge plunger.1. When conducting measurements by hand, make sure that the direction of themeasured force is identical with the gauge’s axis (axis of the gauge plunger).Otherwise, only a component force along the gauge’s axis will be measured.2. The gauge allows for resetting in the entire measurement range (this operation iscalled taring in the case of measuring the mass) by pressing the T(0) key.Resetting/taring does not extend the measurement range but only subtracts theentered reference value from the measured value.3. The measurement mechanism is a precision device and is sensitive to shocks andvibrations. It is not allowed to hit the measurement tip against any objects.4. Do not overload the gauge above the maximum overload value (20%).
OPERATION MANUAL99. Turning on the gaugePCE Groupwww-pce-group-europ.comPlace the gauge in the operatingposition, e.g. horizontal position (bylaying it on a table). Turn on thegauge by pressing the ON/OFF key.When necessary, plug the gauge’spower supply unit to a 230 V/50 Hzsocket and connect the power supplyunit’s plug to the gauge’s 12 Vsocket.RESETTINGThe gauge automatically tests theelectronic subassemblies and thenresets. During this operation, thegauge should remain stationary andits sensor should not be affected byany forces.CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT0.00NAfter the resetting has beensuccessfully completed, the gaugeindicates zero.Unsuccessful resetting is signalled byan appropriate message. -- Note:It is possible to accelerate the resetting process by pressing the MENU key, whichwill recall the results from the previous resetting.If the batteries are low, leave the gauge’s external power supply unit ON until theyare fully recharged. The batteries’ charge level is signalled by an indicator in theupper section of the display.
OPERATION MANUAL1010. Description of measurement methodsThe gauge can be used to measure pressure and pull forces. In addition, whenmounted properly, it can be used as suspension scales to measure the mass.10.1 Measuring actual and peak value of a pressure/pull forceMeasuring pressure forceMeasuring pull forceBefore starting the measurement,choose a suitable measurement tip,screw it to the gauge plunger andreset the gauge in the operatingposition, e.g. horizontal position(laying the gauge on a table). Theresetting process starts automaticallyafter turning on the gauge or bypressing the T(0) key.RESETTINGCONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT0.00N -- PEAK MEASUREMENT0.10N -- To perform the measurement,indicate the force direction using anarrow in the display’s lower barsection and “ ” (pressure) or “-” (pullforce) symbol.To change the measurement from theactualvalue(continuousmeasurement) to the maximum value(peak measurement), use the PEAKkey.When measuring a force whosedirectionchanges,thegaugeindicates the value of the forceexerted in the direction in which themaximum value was last exceeded.
OPERATION MANUAL1110.2 Measurement of the mass – using the gauge as scalesWhen using an additional element (bowl, basket, etc.) for suspending an object tobe weighed, the gauge can be used to measure the mass. In the case ofmeasurements which do not require a high level of precision, the gauge can behand-held. To ensure maximum precision of the measurement, the gauge should bemounted on a stand using the four threaded holes at the bottom of the enclosure orit can be suspended using a special suspension element (option available onrequest).Since the value of the gravity force used to calculate the mass depends on thegravitational acceleration in the location where the gauge is used, the device iscalibrated for a specific value of the gravitational acceleration. The factory presetvalue is the gravitational acceleration in Gdańsk (gR 9.81415 m/s2). In the case ofsignificant differences, see the value applicable for the gauge’s shipment address.When transporting the gauge to a location where the gravitational accelerationdiffers significantly, recalibrate the gauge.The values of the gravitational acceleration for some of the Polish cities arepresented in the table below.Gravitational acceleration for selected EłkGliwiceGorzów ona 3709.810059.813139.812409.812889.811319.81190
