3 Important information before use

•Before the impact test, wear mask and gloves; avoiding personal injury in case of object

splash.

•Do not use damaged or bent fixture; avoiding personal injury in case of fixture fall or break.

•If “Err-1” appears on the LCD, it indicates that the test load the sensor measures is 110 %

larger than the rated load. Decrease the load immediately. Make sure the load applied is

smaller than 105 % the rated load after the force gauge is restarted.

•Make sure the force gauge is not overloaded. Overload, excessive impact force and forces

other than pull force and push force may damage the sensor.

•Do not use sharp tools to press buttons.

•Keep the force gauge away from water, oil, and other liquids. Put it in a cool, dry, and

vibration-free place.

•Use the charger delivered with the force gauge for charging; otherwise, circuit failure or even

fire may be caused.

•Follow this document to wire ports; otherwise, circuit failure or even PC fault may be caused.

•Make sure the AC charger is securely inserted into a socket if the product needs to be

charged. Looseness may cause short circuit, resulting in electric shock or fire.

•Remove the power adaptor after charging to avoid accidents.

•Do not touch the power adaptor with wet hands; otherwise, electric shock may occur.

•This product is for measuring pull and push forces only. Do not bend or twist the test head.

See the following figure for correct operation method.

4 Function
