Page 3: Safety
User’s Guide Baseline® Push / Pull Dynamometers 1 SAFETY Caution! Note the dynamometer’s capacity before use and ensure that the capacity is not exceeded. Producing a force greater than 200% of the dynamometer’s capacity can damage the internal load cell. An overload can occur whether the dynamometer is powered on or off. -

Page 8: Digital Filters
User’s Guide Baseline® Push / Pull Dynamometers 7 DIGITAL FILTERS Digital filters are provided to help smooth out the readings in situations where there is mechanical interference in the work area or test sample. These filters utilize the moving average technique in which consecutive readings are pushed through a buffer and the displayed reading is the average of the buffer contents. - Page 9 User’s Guide Baseline® Push / Pull Dynamometers CALIBRATION Enter # cal points (1 to 10) Compression: Tension: The dynamometer can be calibrated at up to 10 points in each direction. Enter the number of calibration points for each direction (compression and tension). At least one point must be selected for each direction.
