BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Brief Description
The force measuring device KMG-2000-G measures dynamic and static forces at door and gate
closing edges as well as the duration of force effects. It complies with all requirements of EN 12453,
which guarantees the complete testing and documentation of the force limitation capability of a system
according to EN 12453, as well as the standard-compliant quality assurance for the production of
doors according to EN 13849-1. DIN EN 16005 for automatic doors is also completely fulfilled.
The compact and handy device shows the entire force-time curve in the integrated graphic display
immediately after the five-second measuring period has elapsed and, in the background, combines
three consecutive individual measurements into one measuring point average value in accordance
with the standard specifications. The generous data memory of the KMG-2000-G offers space for
500 complete individual measurements or 166 complete standard measurements.
The following four measured values are determined for each measurement in order to assess the
closing force in accordance with the standard.

suring points according to the standards. The measu-
ring points are specifically prescribed in relation to
the relevant type of gate construction.
Once the trigger threshold of 20 N has been pas-
sed, the force is measured over a period of 5 se-
conds. During this time the message “Measurement
- Please wait” is displayed.
Once measuring has been completed, the force/
time graph is analyzed automatically and the value
relevant to the standard are determined.

9.2 Further Measurements
9.3 Storage of the Measurement Data and Graph via PC
The KMG-2000-G can be connected to any PC via a data link (USB). To do this, the cable
supplied is connected to the USB jack on the KMG-2000 G and to a USB interface on the
PC. Before data can be read from the KMG-2000-G the device must be switched on and the
„KMG-VD 2005“ program on the computer has to be started. The software tests the connecti-
on and alerts you in case of mistakes in connection or malfunctions.
The KMG-2000-G can store a total of 500 graphs (equivalent to 166 standard measurements
with 3 individual measurements). The data is preserved, even after the device has been swit-
ched off, with the result that the force graphs can also be read off the KMG-2000-G during
a subsequent period.
The individual functions can be called up via the program menu of the software. You can find
further explanations in the online help.

WARNINGS AND ERROR MASSAGES
Changing batteries is not necessary as the device contains 2 rechargeable batteries. Changing
batteries is only required if the batteries are damaged. As the batteries are monitored by an
integrated charging regulator whilst charging and discharging, exchanging the batteries is only
to be expected at the end of their useful life (which is several years).
Charging of the batteries is essentially carried out via the USB jack of the KMG. Three char-
ging modes are provided for in this connection:
• The included power supply is equipped with a USB jack.
• The measuring device is connected via the USB cable to an adaptor used for car cigarette
lighters.
• The KMG is charged whilst the USB is connected to a computer via the USB interface.
The shortest charging time is achieved using the power supply unit. If the batteries are empty,
the charging time is approx. 3 - 4 hours.
Operating display:
a) without KMG connection: LED green
b) charging process: LED red
c) charging process completed, holding charge: LED green for 19 secs and red for 1 sec.
The average power consumption in case of an unilluminated display is approximately 20
mA, and in case of an illuminated display approximately 40 mA. This gives an operating life
of approximately 80 hours in normal display mode and approx. 40 hours in the case of an
illuminated display.
10.2 Memory Space
This means:
a) 166 standard measurements à three individual measurements
b) 500 standard measurements as single measurement
c) other combinations of standard/individual measurements
Whenever the KMG switches to the “ready to mea-
sure” mode while the memory is full, the following
message is displayed:
After actuating F1 branching off to the options menu
Notice: The device has a measured-value memory
capable of storing a total of 500 graphs.

10.4 Device Still Loaded
By pressing the F3 key, the measurement can be continued despite the basic force. If this
warning is indicated without a load on the measurement area, the force gauge should be sent
for maintenance to your service department.
11 Calibration
As a demand of EN 12453 and EN 16005, each force-measuring device has to be sent to
for calibration at least once a year.
12 Disposal
Send the KMG-2000-G back to the manufacturer at the
end of its useful life. This ensures environmentally friendly
disposal of all components.
If the KMG-2000-G is loaded with a force of more
than 50 N when a measurement is started manual-
ly, further measurement is possible (F3 key), but the
measurement accuracy is no longer guaranteed. The
following message is displayed:
