General settings
To customise the instrument to the application, some of the factory settings (defaults) can be changed. These
adjustments will be saved in the microprocessor and be recalled when you switch on the force gauge the next
time.
Switching off the temperature compensation (Default: SET)
The temperature drift is compensated automatically. In general, it is recommended to have the this function
turned on as long as it does not effect your measuring results. Only when measuring very minute forces over a
longer period of time at a slow rate and under stable environmental conditions, it might be useful to switch the
tracking off.

•
Press ON/OFF-button.
•
Wait until f01 is displayed, then release RESET-button.

Switching off Auto Power-Off function (Default: 10 min)
Under the battery operation the instrument will be automatically switched off after approx. 10 minutes. This
Auto Power-Off function can be deactivated, which may become necessary when monitoring the fluctuation of
applied forces for a longer period of time. This function is not active, when the instrument is powered by the
AC-adaptor.
•
Switch off the instrument.
•
Press and hold RESET-button.
•
Press ON/OFF-button.
•

Change the refresh rate of the display (Default: 3/sec)
The force applied to the load cell of the instrument is internally processed at a rate of 1000Hz, which allows the
precise capturing of the peak values. The readings on the display, however, are refreshed 3 times/sec only for
the convenience of the human eyes. You may increase or decrease the factory settings for them to match your
personal demands.
