MGL Avionics GF-2 Operating Manual

Introduction
The GF-2 is a 3 1/8" G-force meter capable of measuring G-forces exerted in an aircraft up to +-10g. The forces acting on
the aircraft are easily seen on a large backlit graphic display both numerically and graphically.
The GF-2 also has the facility to record maximum G-forces obtained in permanent memory as well as a temporary
memory to record G-forces reached from the time of power up. It also features 2 independent cycle counters to capture
the amount of times a preset force has been exceeded.
The GF-2 is able to measure G-forces even if the instrument is not mounted exactly on the vertical axis of the aircraft.
1 Features
• Typical, accurate range up to 20g (from -10g to +10g)
• Records maximum measured forces in permanent memory (both positive and negative G-forces), with
password protected reset facility
• Two independent cycle counters record the number of times a preset force has been exceeded
• Temporary memory for maximum positive and negative G-forces encountered (typically during a flight)
• Clear, large readable G-force numerical value (10g positive and negative)
• Scalable graphic analog display of force acting on the aircraft
• 2 axis design of the instrument allows mounting in sloped panels (i.e. panel not exactly vertical)
• Quick calibrations function for operation at temperature extremes using Earth's gravity
• Bilingual support (English or French)
• Standard 3 1/8" aircraft enclosure (can be front or rear mounted)
• Rotary control plus 2 independent buttons for easy menu navigation and user input
• Red LED illuminates every time the aircraft exceeds a preset G-force
• Large backlit graphic LCD with adjustable contrast
• Wide input supply voltage range of 8 to 30V DC with built in voltage reversal and over voltage protection
for harsh electrical environments
• Light weight design
• 1 year limited warranty
