2. Introduction The KMG-2000-G force-measuring device is used for the determination of dynamic and static forces as well as the duration of these at the closing edges of doors and gates. According to the standard, three single measurements must be made at each test point for a normal measurement, the mean value of which then represents the measured value that is relevant for standard purposes.

GTE Industrieelektronik GmbH 6. Warning and Error Messages 6.1 Battery Monitoring Whilst in operation the state of the rechargeable Charge battery is checked. If the battery is really low, the batteries following message appears: Exit With the present level of charge further measure- ments can still be made.

By pressing the key F3 the measurement can still be started ignoring the current load. However in this case the measurement accuracy will not be granted! If this warning is indicated without a load on the measurement area, the force gauge should be sent for maintenance to the GTE service department. V3.2UK 2/19 KMG-2000-G...
