If you use non-attached AC adapter, electronic circuit might be broken and fire might happen. attached AC adapter. Before the FGP arrive at your hand, nickel hydride battery might discharge electricity. Please plug attached AC adapter and charge before you use.
4.4.Tracking A load cell of strain gauge is used for FGP as a load sensing. By using this sensor, the measuring value is slightly changed due to temperature and so on, but tracking is able to cancel this slightly change by the software. When you measure very minute forces, measuring value error might happen due to the tracking.

4.6.Reverse the display In the case you attach FGP with a stand, display of the value and the units can be reversed in order to read the display easily. Turn POWER off. Press the UNIT key and hold, then press POWER key and release (release UNIT key after the value is appeared in the display more than 1 second).
5.2.Measuring Mode There are standard measuring mode and peak hold mode in the measuring mode. 5.2.1Standard measuring mode It's available to measure the compression and tension force. Measuring value is appeared at all times. 1) Press POWER key and release ( Turn POWER on after release) 2)...
5.5.Comparator 5.5.1.Compatrator Compare HI / LO limit which you entered to measuring value, then result is appeared in the display. In addition, output signal of the result is available with data output port. In order to active comparator function, you have to set “Hi-Lo” at “External output (f06)” at function setting. (When you set “ovEr” at the External output (f06), result does not appear and output signal is not performed.) 5.5.2.How to enter Comparator / Memory setting mode Turn POWER off, press PEAK key and hold, then press POWER key and release (release PEAK key after the value is displayed more than 1...
5.5.4.Setting LO limit (1) Press PEAK key during comparator HI limit setting, then move to LO limit setting. (2) Setting way is the same as the comparator HI limit setting. (3) Press MEM key, then setting value is registered, and move to standard measuring mode. (4)...

[Definisions of the terms] Measuring value: Displayed value which is per display update time at standard measuring mode. Plus maximum value (+MAX): Maximum value at plus side which is measured within memory measuring interval. Minus maximum value (-MAX): Maximum value at minus side which is measured within memory measuring interval. Plus minimum value (+MIN): Minimum value at plus side which is measured within memory measuring interval.
