Digital Force Gauge
ARFS-series

■Digital Force Gauge
It is the force-measuring instrument of the electronic
formula which can measure both tension and compression
power by single axis. Our design is for hand held use and
can be set with load testing stand. By using with a test
stand, it corresponds to a large area from the field of a
quality control to the research and development.
Digital Force Gauges are used well to check intensity or
movement of some parts in automobile industry, electric
industry and etc.
■Features
・Our Digital Force Gauge is down sized and has original
design for hand held use.
・The display value can be displayed reversely.
・Sampling Speed 1ms
・The digital range of display is max. 9999.
・Digimatic, Analog, RS-232C and Comparator out-put are
attached as standard accessory.
■Example Use
・Peak Holding Measurement and Tracking Measurement.
・Peak Holding Memory is 50 Measurements Value.
・The limit of ＨＩ(HIGH) and ＬＯ(LOW) can be made by
comparator out-put.
・Selectable 3 units (Ｎ、Kg ｆ、lbf)
・Battery Volume can be checked on display.
・Power auto-off function
When there is no key 2-3minutes,a power supply is
turned off automatically.

■Notes
Do not overload
The limit of overload capacity is 120% of full scale.
When the load is reached to 110% of Full Scale,
“ OVERLOAD “ is indicated on display. Keep it
within 100% of Full Scale. This is the cause for
the breakdown of load sensor.
※In case of over load setting 1 ～ 100 %,
“ OVER LOAD “ will be indicated on display when the
load is reached over your setting value.
(Regarding over load setting, please see page No.9.)
Do not use other adapter
Should other adapter be used, there are possibility
to breakdown or may lead to a fire. Also, do not
charge or operate unit in other voltage.
Do not impact or damage unit
This is the cause for the breakdown of load sensor or
other troubles.
Do not store and operate in the following conditions
※ Wet area ※ Where dew condensation
※ Dusty area ※ Where oil or chemicals
Do not disassemble, trouble-shoot and remodel
Should you perform any of these, that may cause
malfunction of the unit.

■Specifications
■Model & Indication Range
1When the max. display indication of 5000 and 9999 (10000), the
1
st
digits of display is changeable. The ability of sampling
speed and resolution become high in these max. display.
2In case of 100% to 110% of full scale of measuring range, the
display indicate the measuring value. However this measuring
value can not be used for your measurement. Incase of 110% over,
“ OVER LOAD “ is indicated on display. (This is in case of
over load setting ” 0 “)
※In case of over load setting 1 ～ 100 %, “ OVER LOAD “
will be indicated on display when the load is reached over
your setting value. (Regarding over load setting, please
see page No.9.)
