Instruction Manual –FB and FC Series Force Gauges
Standard Mode [Menu>Applications>Standard Mode]
The standard mode offer utmost flexibility when using the force gauge manually, in a test stand, or while connected to a
PC. Force measurements can be captured manually with a press of the start button or automatically over a specified
time frame. The mode is equipped with Time Delay, Trigger, and Threshold features.
Peak Mode [Menu>Applications>Peak Mode]
The peak mode automatically detects the maximum force measured during a test. The feature pinpoints the exact force
applied to an object before it gives or breaks under pressure. The application can be configured to detect force
automatically or manually.
Multi-Peak Mode [Menu>Applications>Multi Peak]
The Multi-Peak mode records multiple peaks detected during a user specified time frame. The feature detects unlimited
number of peaks in a measured sequence. The Multi-Peak mode is particularly useful when measuring force of objects
that do not instantly give or break under pressure, such as fabrics or flexible materials.
Fill Meter [Menu>Applications>Fill Meter]
Filling meter indicator can be activated in conjunction with any mode of the force gauge. The fill meter is a digital non-
liner pie meter which has greatly increased sensitivity at the set capacity cutoff point. The feature allows to set a custom
cut off point that is suitable to the application. This feature helps to avoid exceeding the maximum capacity of the force
by providing visual feedback while taking measurements.
Programmable Thresholds Monitoring [Menu>Applications>Mode>Threshold]
Programmable threshold limits are available in all force gauge modes. The feature allows to set minimum, maximum,
and target values that are monitored by the force gauge. When exceeded the displays MIN, MAX, and OK indicators are
on the display. Each indicator can be set to sound a single or a continuous alarm. Threshold values are also used to
determine if the force applied during tests can produce consistent results that stays within the set parameters.
Peak Detection / Peak Sensitivity [Menu>Applications>Peak Mode>Peak Detec.]
Peak and Multi-Peak modes are equipped with a sensitivity detection feature which allows to disregard unwanted peak
measurements that may be caused by shakes or vibration. The peak sensitivity detection feature allows peak detection
modes to be fine-tuned to a specific application.
Data Manager [Menu>Data Manager]
The data manager feature allows to quickly review and retrieve saved measurements. The feature organizes data into
function folders with chronological .txt file names. File names can be assigned with a unique alphanumeric names or
identifier, which are automatically organized chronologically.

Instruction Manual –FB and FC Series Force Gauges
Auto-Save / Automatic Data Storing [Menu>Data Manager>Auto-Save]
Auto-save automatically saves results and statistical analysis of the measurements to the MicroSD card. When enabled
the force gauge will save results at the end of each measurements. Each result set is assigned with unique file name.
Record & Speed / Configurable Sampling Speed [Menu>Measur. Settings>Record & Speed]
The gauge can be set to measure force at a desired speed. A slower rate makes it easier for the force measurements to
be seen on the display in real-time. A faster measuring speed allows for a more accurate test as the force gauge can
capture more results in a shorter time sequence, and samples are taken more frequently.
Printout / Configurable Receipt Printing [Menu>Configuration>Printout]
The force gauge can send results directly to a printer as well as third party software such as MS excel or notepad. The
printed information can be configured to include the date, time, measurement name, user ID, signature line, and a
series of customizable notes.
External Input / Output and Input Modes (FC Models only) [Menu>Configuration>External Input]
The threshold output mode enables the Output port by sending voltage level signals which can be used for signaling or
controlling external peripherals that can connect with the force gauge. The output mode can be used in combination
with Programmable Thresholds Monitoring. Input mode allows an external button or a pedal to be used as trigger for
starting force measurements and taking samples. OUTPUT Ampacity: I max=25mA / U nom=24V (open collector type,
emitters connected–GND) | INPUT Voltage Range IN (+)/IN (-): U in=12-18V / I in max=50Ma
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Gauge Change / Interchangeable load-cell (1Kn to 50KN | FC Models Only) [Menu>Configuration>Gauge Change]
Gauge Change allows to use multiple external loadcells with one force gauge indicator. Switching between load-cells is
easily done through the force gauge menu with minimum configuration or setup. The Gauge Type feature allows to
store up to 16 external load cells. The feature is ideal for applications that require multiple result resolutions and
capacities.
