2 Check before use
After receipt of the test stand, it should be checked in advance whether no transport
damage has occurred, whether the outer packaging, the metal housing, other parts
or even the test stand itself have been damaged. If any damage is evident, please
notify SAUTER GmbH immediately.
3 Possible applications
The TVS test stand has been designed to accommodate most SAUTER force
measuring devices without any great difficulty. It has a wide range of applications and
can be operated manually. It can also perform individual functions independently.
These includinfinitely variable speed adjustment, automatic up and down movement
with presetting of repetitions (up to 1000 cycles). It can be used for material testing in
the metal, plastics and textile industries. It can also be operated with SAUTER
software (AFH) and can be conveniently controlled from there using a PC. This
software is also able to document force, time and distance. It can only be operated
with an FH force measuring device, because here the setting options of the same
can be used, for example to protect the test stand from overload with the STOP
value.

•Choose the right test stand with regard to the maximum force you require.
Adapt the force measuring device used to the maximum force or take special
care when setting the travel distance. (Possible destruction of the force gauge)
•Under no circumstances should you attempt to open, repair or modify the
machine. Please contact SAUTER GmbH.
•The test stand is not suitable for operation in a humid environment. Avoid
penetration of moisture into the housing under all circumstances.
•Do not use sharp objects to operate the keys.
•Use the limiting rings on the test bench to control the travel. Precise
adjustment of the travel distance by means of the limiting rings prevents
damage to the test stand and the force gauge used.
•From time to time, moisten the rods with a lubricating oil.
•Switch off the unit and unplug the power cord if you are not going to use it for
a long period of time.

5.2 Control keys
ON / OFF:
On / Off button
(press the key for approx. 1 second)
UNIT: Measuring units
- Press the key briefly: Selection between N, kg and lb
ZERO: Zero position
Assignment with three functions:
- Zero setting of the display (tare function)
- Zeroing of the peak value (Peak)
- Saving a setting (in SET mode)
SET:
Press once: Upper limit [HidT]. Press to change it: ▲ or ▼ (see 2.3)
Press once: Lower limit value [LodT]. Press to change it: ▲ or ▼(see 2.3)
1 x Press: Lower limit value to activate the memory function at
Peak value measurements (peak). [LE.SET / Lo Pe]. See also section 2.7.
Minimum limit function To change: ▲ or ▼ (Only in "Peak Mode")
activated) (see 2.7.)
Press once: Auto-Off function, switch off when not in use after

PEAK: (peak value)
Assignment with three functions:
- continuous measurement
- Peak (peak value recording)
- Auto-Peak, like Peak function, but without minimum limit function
(see section 2.6)
MEMORY: (memory function)
Saves the peak values for calculating the average of the measurement results (see
section - Saving)
DELETE FUNCTION:
of memory values (only in "Memory" mode)
PRINT: (print function)
Output of the memory contents to PC or printer (see section 7.)
5.3 Limit value display good / bad
▲ HI Exceeding the upper limit value ( LED lights up red )
◘ OKMeasured value in GOOD area ( LED lights green )
▼ LOOutrunning the lower limit value (LED lights up red )
An upper and a lower limit value can be programmed. The measuring device compares
the measurement result with the limit values and outputs the result in red or green light
diodes and with an acoustic signal.
For setting the limit values see SET menu under "Keys
5.4 Simple measurement (track mode)

Switch over by:
5.7 Minimum limit value function to activate the measured value storage
This function is used for measurements where unwanted "pre-peaks" occur which are
below the peak value (Fp) being searched for. The adjustable limit value (Fo) prevents
the measuring instrument from storing the "pre-peaks".
Minimum limit function is only possible in "Peak Mode
Setting the minimum limit value function see SET menu under "Keys
5.8 Storage of peak values and calculation of average values from up to 10
measured values
- Storage of the peak values in the measuring device
- Activation of the "AUTO PEAK function" via the PEAK key
- Now all peak values are automatically transferred to the device memory. (From the
11th value onwards, the oldest entry is automatically overwritten)
- Individual peak values can be recalled using the arrow keys (shown in the upper
display segment)
- Press the MEMORY key to call up the average value (visible in the upper display
segment)
- Deleting the memory contents by pressing the ▼ key in AVERAGE mode
5.9 Reset key
This is located on the right side of the housing.

SD-BA-e-2020 SD-BA-e-20209
It is used to restart the unit after an operating error. Memory values and settings are
deleted.
6 Thread of the fine adjustment screw
This applies to the following SD's: SD 50, 100, 200, 300, 500
The thread of the fine adjustment screw is a DIN M6 thread, according to this DIN is
also the pitch.
It corresponds to approx. 1mm per turn of the knurled nut.
7 Printout to printer or PC
Below are two photographs:
The picture below shows the closed compartment for the printer's paper roll, which is
located on the side of the spring tester. A piece of paper with the printed measurement
results can be seen from the outside. It leaves the paper roll compartment through a
narrow guide slot during printing. On the right side of this tray is a small button which
must be pressed to open it, e.g. when a new paper roll has to be inserted.
The next figure shows the open paper tray. It shows how to correctly load the paper
roll in the paper roll compartment to make subsequent prints.
To close this tray, press and hold the button on the right while closing the paper roll
compartment. A small piece of paper should still be sticking out.
The following is a printout of such a printout with all the necessary information:

8 Warnings
Incorrectly performed force measurements can lead to serious injury to persons and
damage to property and must therefore only be performed by trained and experienced
personnel.
In particular, it must be avoided that forces act on the purchased measuring instrument
which exceed the maximum load (Max) or which do not act axially on the instrument
via the force transducer.
Improper use
Overloads
Loads greater than 150 % of the measuring range minus any existing tare load should
be avoided at all costs. This could damage the measuring device (danger of
breakage!).
Attention:
Never operate the measuring instrument in rooms where there is a risk of explosion.
The standard version is not Ex-protected.
The spring test system must not be modified in its design. This can lead to incorrect
measurement results, safety-related defects and the destruction of the measuring
device.
The device may only be used in accordance with the described specifications.
SAUTER must give written approval of any different areas of use / application.
Warranty
Warranty expires with:
- Non-compliance with our specifications in the operating instructions
- Use outside the described applications
- Modification or opening of the device, mechanical damage, and damage by media,
liquids
- natural wear and tear
- improper setup or electrical installation
- Overload of the measuring unit
Test equipment monitoring

SD-BA-e-2020 SD-BA-e-202011
Within the scope of quality assurance, the metrological characteristics of the
measuring instrument and any test weight must be checked at regular intervals. The
responsible user has to define a suitable interval for this purpose as well as the type
and scope of this inspection.
Information regarding the inspection equipment monitoring of measuring instruments
as well as the necessary test weights are available on the KERN homepage
(www.KERN-sohn.com).
Observe the information in the operating instructions
Please read these operating instructions carefully before commissioning, even if you
already have experience with SAUTER measuring instruments.
Staff training
The device may only be operated and maintained by trained staff.
