Page 3: Introduction
1 Introduction Thank you for choosing the SAUTER FL series instrument. With correct use and regular re-calibration it will give many years of accurate and reliable service. The FL can measure tensile and compressive forces accurately, being simply used by the operator. It may be used handheld or mounted on a fixture or test stand. -

Figure 1 To power up the gauge, the ON/OFF key has to be pressed. A short self-test will start during which the capacity in Newton will be shown. After the self test, providing no load has been applied to the instrument, the display will show all zeroes. - Page 6 A load indicator bar alerts the operator to how much load has been applied to the load sensor. For tensile force the indicator bar is moving from right to left. For compressive forces the indicator bar is moving from left to right. Zeroing the gauge During the operation of the gauge it is often necessary to zero the display –...
- Page 7 Peak-Tension mode Press MODE key until the appears on the display. The display will show the maximum tensile force. See Figure 3b Peak-Compression mode Press MODES key until appears on the display. The display will show the maximum compressive force. See Figure 3c RESET the gauge Press RESET key to clear both maximum registers and prepare for detecting the next maximum readings.

The FL-series have an analog output +/- 2V, In normal operation use analog values depend on the reading value of TRACK, PEAKT and PEAKC mode. If PASS-FAIL function is used analog value = 2V when PASS, and analog value = 0V when FAIL. 7) ABOUT This shows the information of your gauge (Firmware revision, Model, Capacity, Serial number). -

Calibration 1. Turn the gauge on 2. Go to main menu by pressing the MENU key and press the UP and DOWN key to move the cursor to point to CALIBRATION and press ENTER key, then the ENTER PASSWORD page will be displayed. ENTER PASSWORD 4 DIGIT PASSWORT : 0000... - Page 15 Press UP and DOWN to change max capacity, press and hold to scroll change. Press ENTER key to save selected and return to Calibration Menu page. 4) Tension Calibration. At the Calibration menu page, press UP and DOWN key to move the cursor to point to TENSION GAIN and press ENTER key.
- Page 16 - Apply 100% of the instrument’s capacity load onto the support(s) for compression. - Press UP, DOWN, RIGHT ARROW or LEFT ARROW key to adjust compression gain until the gauge displayed max capacity count. - Press ENTER key to store the counts for full-scale compression 6) After your successful calibration, remove any accessories, which have been mounted to the gauge and place the gauge on its back on a level surface.
