Power Supply 6x 1.5V AA (UM-3) size battery or DC 9V adapter (not included) Weight 1.2 lbs/551g Size 8.9 x 3.3 x 1.5” (227 x 83 x 39 mm) Mounting Holes Located on rear of gauge for optional test stand Accessories Tension adapter (hook), compression adapters (flat, cone, and chisel), 5" extension rod, 6 x 1.5V AA batteries, case Operation Preparation for Measurement 1. The 475044 or 474040 automatically determines TENSION or COMPRESSION (Push or Pull) force during use. Compression displays as a negative value and Tension displays as a positive value. 2. Select units of measure (grams/kil ograms, ounces/pounds, or newtons) via the units select button. 3. Attach the desired adapter (tension – hook ; compression.- flat, cone or chisel head) to the Universal Sensing Head. 4. Select FAST or SLOW response. The FAST setting permits the capture of fast measurement changes and the SLOW setting provides an averaged reading display. 5. Zero the display before each measurement via the Zero button. Note: The sensing head with adapter must be in line with the object being measured. Avoid rotating the sensing head. Refer to the figure below. Figure 1 ─ Correct and Incorrect Angles of Measurement Acceptable Not Acceptable
475040 and 475044 Ver. 1.9 12/04 3 Normal Measurement Mode 1. Slide the POWER switch to the ON posit ion. Reverse the LCD display if desired via the Reverse key. 2. Zero the meter before each measurement. 3. Touch the adapter to the object being measured in a straight line. Refer to Fig.1. 4. Begin measurement by applying force (Push or Pull). Read the LCD display. 5. After completing the measurement, the disp lay will indicate "0.00" if the position and angle of the Force Gauge have not changed. 6. If the position or angle of the Forc e Gauge changes during a measurement, the display may show one of the following: a) The display overranges because the initial force of the transducer decreases due to a change in the position or angle of the Gauge after measurement. b) The display indicates any value such as "12", "25", etc. This occurs because the initial force of the transducer increases due to a change in the position or angle of the Gauge after measurement. Note: Be sure to press "ZERO" before taking any new measurements. Peak Load Measurement 1. Slide the POWER switch to the PEAK position... 2. Touch the adapter to the object being measured in a straight line, refer to Fig. 1. 3. Zero the meter before each measurement. 4. Begin measurement by applying force (pull or push). The LCD will display the peak value, which is the highest reading encountered. 5. After completing the measurement, the display will hold the peak load value if the position and angle of the Force Gauge have not changed. 6. After completing the measurement, the display will overrange if the position or angle of the Force Gauge has changed. This occurs because the initial force of the transducer decreases due to a change in the position or angle of the Gauge after measurement. Note: Be sure to press "ZERO" before taking any new measurements. Fast/Slow selection Press the FAST/SLOW key to select the desired display update rate. The “((•))” symbol will appear in the display when FAST is selected. Mounting For best results, mount the Digital Force Gauge to a test stand (optionally available, contact Extech for details). Mounting holes are provided on the rear of the meter. Maintenance Battery Replacement The low battery indication appears as a "LO" on the display when battery voltage is less than 6.8V. To replace the battery: 1. Remove the two screws from the battery compartment cover. 2. Lift off the battery cover. 3. Replace with 6x 1.5V AA (UM-3) batteries. Observe polarity carefully. 4. Replace compartment cover and screws.
