Page 6: Introduction
Introduction The Quantrol Basic Force Gauge (BFG) can measure tensile and compressive forces accurately while still being easy to operate. Please check the unit for any physical damage. If any damage is found, please notify your authorized Quantrol dealer. The most commonly used features of the BFG are accessed with a single key press on the instrument: •... -
Page 7: Operation
Operation Affix either the short extension rod (30mm long) or the Fitting long extension rod (130mm long) to the load cell Accessories probe in the hole at the bottom of the gauge by tightening it gently with the fingers. Your chosen grip or accessory may now be connected to the extension rod. -

Page 11: Data Output
Press the RESET key to clear both maximum registers and prepare for detecting the next maximum readings. The BFG has RS-232, Mitutoyo and analog Data Output output signals. It is possible to transmit the displayed reading to peripheral devices (e.g. PC, BFG uses 9600 Baud printer) by pressing and releasing the TXD key. -

For tension applications it is often desirable to invert Invert Display Text the text on the display so that the operator can read it more comfortably. To invert the text, press and hold MAX while powering up the BFG with the ON/OFF key. - Page 13 s f f b i l o i t l l e Basic Force Gauge User’s Manual...
