Basic Functions - sauter FL series Instruction Manual

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. This is because the gauge re-zeroes itself during the self-test
routine.
*If a force is applied via the load cell sensor (hole at the bottom of the FL), the
reading on display will register the applied force.
*Forces may not show zero if it is moved during the self test routine. Once it is
properly mounted and zeroed, the reading will be stable.
*Do not overload the load sensor. This will cause irreparable damage. Forces
greater than 120% of full-scale will produce an audible beep and OL symbol will blink
on the display until load is release and RESET key is pressed.
To power down the gauge press the ON/OFF key.
*All the current settings are saved when the gauge is turned off and the gauge will
function in the same mode when powered up again.
