Preset: In this mode, you can set the tolerance upper limit and lower limit of meas- ured force value to do a GO/NG measurement. See chapter 3.2. ④ Before measurement, you should zero the tare by pressing ⑤ The force gauge often is used hand-held. But mounting it on a test stand for use may be more accurate and easier or safer.
3.2 Measurement Measurement item contains the unit of measurement and measurement mode, In Unit, N, kgf, ibf, ozf can be selected, as shown in Fig 3-1. Fig 3-1 In Test Mode Track, Peak, Preset etc. can be chosen (see Fig 3-2, or see §2.2 also) If Preset is selected, the Upper limit and Lower limit can be set.

Fig 4-2 Pin7 with Pin6 will be connected when an overload alarm occurs. In Preset Mode, Pin7 to Pin6 is connected when the measured value exceeds the upper limit; Pin4 to Pin6 is connected when the measured value is below the lower limit.
❸Enter Calibration interface, as shown in Fig 5-1. ❶Calibration times ❷Current measuring value ❸Standard value input Fig 5-2 Calibration interface is shown in Fig 5-2 ❹ Load a standard force. Now the value in standard input area is just equal to the current measured value.
