Introduction
Thank you for selecting the Extech Digital Force Gauge. This professional meter, with proper care, will
provide years of safe reliable service. This device measures Tension or Compression (Push or Pull) to
5kg (475040) or 20kg (475044). The reversible display indicates readings in grams, ounces, or
Newtons. This meter offers Peak Hold and a Zero function. Please visit the Extech Instruments
website to check for the latest version of this User Guide.

(ISO) M5 x 0.8. The spacing between screws is 60.0 mm
(2.36”)
2. Battery compartment access screws
3. Battery compartment
Operation
Preparation for Measurement
1. The 475044 or 474040 automatically determine TENSION or COMPRESSION (Push or
Pull) force during use. Compression displays as a negative value and Tension displays as a
positive value.
2. Select units of measure (grams/kilograms, ounces/pounds, or Newtons) via the units select
button.
3. Attach the desired adapter (tension – hook; compression.- flat, cone or chisel head) to the
Universal Sensing Head.
4. Select FAST or SLOW response. The FAST setting permits the capture of fast
measurement changes and the SLOW setting provides an averaged reading display.
5. Zero the display before each measurement via the Zero button.
Note: The sensing head with adapter must be in line with the object being measured. Avoid
rotating the sensing head. Refer to the figure below.

Normal Measurement Mode
1. Slide the POWER switch to the ON position.
2. Zero the meter before each measurement.
3. Touch the adapter to the object being measured in a straight line. Refer to Fig.1.
4. Begin measurement by applying force (Push or Pull). Read the LCD display.
5. After completing the measurement, the display will indicate "0.00" if the position and angle of
the Force Gauge have not changed.
6. If the position or angle of the Force Gauge changes during a measurement, the display may
show one of the following:
a) The display over-ranges because the initial force of the transducer decreases due to a
change in the position or angle of the Gauge after measurement.
b) The display indicates any value such as "12", "25", etc. This occurs because the initial
force of the transducer increases due to a change in the position or angle of the Gauge
after measurement.
Note: Be sure to press "ZERO" before taking any new measurements.
Mounting
For best results, mount the Digital Force Gauge to a test stand. Mounting holes are provided on the
rear of the meter.
