Series FGE-HXY Force Gauges
Operation Manual
Do not operate or store instrument in the following
locations:
Explosive areas, near water, oil, dust or chemicals;
areas where the temperatures can exceed 104°F
(40 °C)
Take precaution to not drop the force gauge. Damage
to the sensor may occur.
Do not modify, disassemble or attempt to repair the
unit. Send to the factory for proper repair.
If upon delivery damage to the unit is detected, do not
operate 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 keep
measurements in line will damage the instrument.
The Series FGE-HXY Digital Force Gauges offer an enhanced
heavy-duty housing allowing them to be utilized in high capacity
tension and compression applications. These instruments are uti-
lized in a variety of applications such as, incoming quality inspec-
tion, finished goods testing, R&D or almost any portable or force
stand testing requirement.
A 500 lb range model is available providing necessary perfor-
mance for high capacity testing.
The 180° reversible display combined with the adjustable force
direction and dual labeled keypad enable these units to excel in
both compression and tension applications in any direction.
