sauter FL series Instruction Manual 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 – e.g.
when you wish to tare out the weight of a grip, so it does not become part of the
measured reading. Press and release the ZERO key.
Reversible display
The display can be turned about 180°. The following has to be done:
When the gauge is turned off, the button "Menu/Esc" has to be pressed and held. In
addition, the button "On/Off" has to be pressed and the gauge will turn on and like
this, the display reversion has been performed.
Changing the unit of measurement
You can choose the following units of measurement depending on the capacity of
your gauge:
milliNewton, kiloNewton, Newton, gram-force, kilogram-force, ounce force or pound-
force.
To change the display units, press the UNIT key. Each successive key pressed will
select the next available units until the gauge returns to its original setting. The FL
automatically converts readings as a new unit of measurement is selected.
*Note: All units may not be displayed depending on the capacity of the gauge.
Changing the mode of measurement
You can choose the following modes of measurement:
Track, Peak-Tension, and Peak-Compression, to change the display mode press
MODE key. Each successive key pressed will select the next available modes until
the gauge returns to its original setting.
Track mode
Press MODE key until the appeared on the display. The display will now indicate
forces applied in both directions as they are applied to the load sensor and maintain
the live display. See Figure 3a
