FGV-XY Digital Force Gauge
Operation Manual
Do not operate or store instrument in the following
locations:
Explosive areas, near water, oil, dust or chemicals; ar-
eas where the temperatures can exceed 104°F
(40° C)
Take precaution to not drop the force gauge. Damage
to the sensor may occur.
Do not modify, disassemble or attempt to repair the
unit. Send to the factory for proper repair.
If upon delivery damage to the unit is detected, do not
operate the unit. Notify the shipping carrier immedi-
ately to obtain damage claim instructions.
Only measure forces that are in line with the measur-
ing shaft. Do not attempt to take any measurements
(tension or compression) at any angle. Failure to keep
measurements in line will damage the instrument.
Digital Force Gauges with 180° reversible display & dual labeled
keypad for both push, pull applications. The Series FGV-XY Force
Gauges combine a rugged, ergonomic and compact design to
provide a complete force testing instrument. These instruments
are utilized in a variety of applications such as, incoming quality
inspection, finished goods testing, R&D or almost any portable
or force stand testing requirement.
Onboard statistical calculations provide fast access to maxi-
mum, minimum, average and standard deviation data. The To-
riemon USB software and USB cable allow further data analysis
on a PC. The 1,000 point memory allows for data exporting in
real time or after testing is complete. In addition, the RS-232C
and analog outputs provide the FGV-XY maximum communica-
tion flexibility. Models are available from 0.5 lbs to 200 lb ranges
providing a large offering for various testing requirements. The
180° reversible display combined with the adjustable force direc-
tion and dual labeled keypad enable the FGV-XY to excel in both
compression and tension applications in any direction.
Typical applications include wallboard, wire pull, wire crimps,
trigger pull, brake pedal, aerospace ceramic, springs, food ripe-
ness, corrugated paper strength, blister pack, medical compo-
nent, muscle strength, ergonomic testing, adhesives, syringe
plunger, needle sharpness and many more.
