Nidec-Shimpo FG-7009 Operation Manual

FG-3000 Digital Force Gauge
Operation Manual
Operators should wear protection such as a mask and gloves in case
pieces or components break away from the unit under test.
Whether the unit is ON or OFF, DO NOT exceed the capacity of the
gauge. NEVER exceed 150% of the rated capacity, or the load cell will
be damaged. At 110% of the rated capacity, the display will flash a
warning.
When mounting FG-3000 Series Digital Force Gauges, use M6 mount-
ing screws with a maximum insertion depth of 7 mm into the gauge.
Hand tighten mounting screws, DO NOT use tools. Do not use dam-
aged clamp.
Measure in line tension and compression forces only. DO NOT attempt
to measure forces at an angle to the measuring shaft – damage to load
cell and/or shaft may result.
Do not attempt to repair or alter this instrument. Warranty will be voided
and damage to the unit may result.
Use and store within the stated temperature and humidity ranges, or
damage and failure may result.
When using adapter measuring heads, do not use tools. Hand tighten
only.
