UNITS OF MEASURE
Use the UNITS button to change the units of measure for the force reading. Pressing
the UNITS button will cycle the units from Grams, Kilograms, Ounces, Pounds, and
Newtons.
CURRENT FORCE READING
A current force reading is available by accessing the "INSTANT FORCE" mode. To
access this mode, simply press the Up Arrow button until the display shows "INSTANT
FORCE". The second line of the display will be the current force being measured with
the selected units. This reading should be used only as a quick reference.
NOTE: It is important to remember that the load cell is measuring forces at a rate
of 400 times per second. The rate of display on the display screen cannot cycle
at this speed. Therefore, the value in the "INSTANT FORCE" reading is an
average of the data points that the load cell is measuring.
SPEED SETUP
The test platform can be set to travel at any one of three different speeds. The following
procedure describes how to set the test platform speed.
1. Press both the Up and Down Arrow keys together for 3 seconds to enter the
Setup Mode.
2. Use the Up Arrow key to cycle the display to "Speed Setup".
3. Press the Enter key.
4. Press the Up Arrow key to cycle from 6, 12, to 24 inches per minute (15, 30, to
60 centimeters per minute).
5. Press the Enter key to record your speed selection. The display will return to the
"INSTANT FORCE" reading.
