    DISPLAY & KEYPAD DETAILS This instrument uses a 6-digit LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) with adjustable LED backlight. The Table below summarizes the display annunciators. Symbol Display Indication ➔0 Displays when the instrument reading is at Zero. The instrument is in Peak Hold mode. The displayed force reading is in pounds (lbf).
  • Page 4 The keypad comprises five (5) function keys. Marking Keypad Function Units Selects the displayed unit of measure, e.g., lbf, kgf and N. Peak Selects the peak hold display mode of the instrument, e.g., live data, positive peak and negative peak. (This function must first be enabled using the nn36 parame- ter) Zero Zeroes the force display reading.

    INSTRUMENT CONFIGURATION Configuration Menus The TI-500 FDI-02 contains four (4) menus to configure the instrument: Functions (“nn”) Menu – Configures all measurement related parameters. System (“-S-”) Menu – Configures all system related parameters. Calibration (“CAL”) Menu – Contains the calibration procedures.

    5. Once you have arrived at the proper “nn” menu parameter, e.g.,” nn 1”, press the PEAK (down) key once to arrive at the selection level. The instrument displays the current parameter setting. 6. If there is a selection list, scroll thru the available parameter settings, use the DATA (left) or ON//OFF (right) keys.

  • Page 14: Instrument Calibration

    INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION Calibration Overview There are two ways to calibrate the instrument: 1. Live calibration: You will be calibrating an actual load sensor to the instrument using live test loads. You can have up to seven positive calibration points and up to seven negative calibration points.

  • Page 15: Live Span Calibration Instructions (Cal7)

    Live Positive Span Calibration Instructions (CAL7) 1. While in the Calibration menu, scroll to "CAL 7", and then scroll down once using the PEAK (down) key. The indicator will display ‘Fit’. 2. Assure a no-load condition and then press the ZERO (set) key to save the value. After a brief period, the instrument will then prompt you to enter the data for the first calibration point (C1).

  • Page 16: Live Zero Calibration Instructions (Cal6)

    3. Apply the first test load to the force sensor. 4. Use the four directional keys to the actual positive force value, e.g., 1000.0 lbf. Increase the flashing digit by pressing the UNITS key. Decrease the flashing digit by pressing the PEAK key.

    3. Press the ZERO (set) key to save the value. The indicator briefly displays ‘Pt2’ and then moves to the next calibration point (C2). 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to enter data for the remainder of the positive calibration points. 5.

  • Page 18: Key-In (Mv/V) Negative Calibration Instructions (Cal11)

    Key-in (mV/V) Negative Calibration Instructions (CAL11) You will be entering data for up to six negative calibration points. These calibration points are denoted as C1 through C6. The absolute value of each subsequent calibration point should be higher than the last. Each calibration point requires entry of two values: •...

    1. While in the Calibration menu, scroll to "CAL 12", and then scroll down once using the PEAK (down) key. 2. The indicator will briefly display ‘CA-rf2’ followed by live A/D count data. 3. Set the connected load cell simulator to 0.0 mV/V 4.
  • Page 20 To continue displaying the rest of the calibration information - Ptx and PCx, e.g., Pt2 and PC2 for C2, etc. - keep pressing the PEAK (down) key until you reach the end of the list and then press the PEAK (down) key once more to arrive back at the top of the UCAL10.

  • Page 21: Advanced Operation

    ADVANCED OPERATION Peak Hold Mode This mode is used to capture peak forces measured during a specific process. These peak force values are held (frozen) on the screen. A common application is determining the breaking point of a part or assembly. The instrument captures both positive and negative peak forces. Peak forces are not retained when the instrument is powered OFF.

    SERIAL PORT INFORMATION SERIAL PORT MODES DEMAND DUPLEX MODE The Demand Duplex Mode provides a two-way serial transmission mode. In this mode, the output information is transmitted on demand; either by pressing the DATA key on the instrument’s front panel or upon receiving a recognized command from a host de- vice (i.e., computer).
