8.5 Diagnostics
This function is used to check the loadcell. If it is suspected that the loadcell has
been overloaded, the status can be determined immediately.
To do this, place the device in a horizontal position on a flat surface and call up the
main menu page. To enter the DIAGNOSTIC menu, the MENU/ESC button must be
pressed. Use the UP or DOWN button to move the cursor to DIAGNOSTIC and
confirm with the ENTER button. You are now on the DIAGNOSTIC page.
Press the ESC key to return to the main menu page.
If the percentage drop is between 5% - 10%, please contact the supplier to have the
loadcell replaced. These values are given as a guide only. The actual need for
calibration/replacement of the loadcell varies with its individual characteristics.
8.6 Select Output
With this option the used data output, RS 232 or USB is selected.
There is an analog output on the device. This generates a signal that goes from +2V
to -2V. This signal is a percentage of the maximum value of the force gauge. FOR
EXAMPLE..: FL100 50N is measured in the direction of pull, then a -1V signal is
applied to the analog output. 75N in compression direction, then + 1.5V is present at
the analog output. If the instrument is in PASS - Fail mode, 2V for PASS and 0V for
FAIL are present at the analog output.
