Series EK3 Ergonomics Kits
Attach the force gauge to the double
handle grip (AC1003) or single handle grip
(AC1003-1) by mating the male dowel pin in
the cradle to the corresponding hole in the
rear of the force gauge housing.
Then, fasten the gauge to the cradle with
four included thumb screws (10-1023), as
shown at left.
Attachments
Ergonomics attachments G1019, G1020,
G1021, G1029, G1036, and G1112 thread
onto the load cell shaft of the Series 3 force
gauge.
Fasten the attachment onto the shaft, as
shown at left.
Do not overtighten the attachment, or
load cell damage can occur!
The attachments may freely rotate on the
shaft, thereby self-adjusting to the shape of
an object. However, if a xed position is de-
sired, use an included jam nut, as follows:
1. Rotate the jam nut as high as possible up
the load cell shaft.
2. Rotate the attachment up to the jam nut,
then back o󰀨 until the desired position.
Tighten the nut against the attachment.
Friction between the nut and attachment
body will prevent the attachment from
loosening as shown at left.
