FRONT PANEL OPERATION
The DFIS/AF2 Series can operate in one of the three modes: Normal, Data Collect and Configuration.
2.1
NORMAL MODE
The principal function of the Normal mode is to provide indications of load applied to the load cell.
Instantaneous force, peak-tension and peak-compression readings can be displayed and scaled in a
variety of units of measure.
2.1.1 Selecting Units of Measure
Force indications can be displayed in LB, KG, or N. The gauge displays the active units of measure on the
LCD display. Pressing the UNITS key will cycle between the three available measuring units.
UNITS
With gauge power ON, depress the
KG, N). Release the key when the desired unit is displayed.
2.1.2 Selecting Type of Measurement – Capturing Peaks
The gauge continuously measures instantaneous tension or compression forces (normal readings). It also
captures peak-tension and peak-compression forces. The gauge displays which measurement is being
indicated. Pressing the PEAK key will cycle between the available force measurement modes.
With gauge power ON, depress the
PEAK). Release the key when the desired unit is displayed. The display will indicate C until tension is
applied to the loadcell. This will cause the display to indicate tension (T).
