Useful Conversion Factors
1 kN = 1,000 Newton (N)
1 N = 0.2248 pound-force (lbf)
1 lbf = 4.448 Newton (N)
1 N = 0.102 kilogram-force (kgf)
1 N = 0.102 kilopond (kp)

Overview
The display is designed for use in conjunction with
chuck and drawbar force sensors. Two versions are
available: wired and wireless (depending on the type
of sensor used).
Getting Started
Wireless: turn on the sensor.
Wired: connect the sensor to the display using the
supplied cable.
Press display’s On/Off button. The unit will briey
display the calibration due date for the sensor.
From this point, follow instructions for the particular
sensor in use.
When nished, Press On/Off to power down the
display. For wireless sensors, the sensor must be
powered down separately.
Wireless: The display can only communicate with
one sensor at a time. The display will connect to
the rst sensor detected. To switch sensors, simply
turn off the rst sensor and turn on the second. The
display will automatically connect to the second
sensor.
Zeroing the Display
The display will automatically zero on powerup. If
needed, the display can be re-zeroed at any time by
pressing the Zero button.
When peak force display is enabled, pressing the
Zero button will also reset the stored peak value.
Battery Replacement
The display uses a standard 9V battery. To replace
the battery, open the compartment on the back side.
A rechargeable battery can be used.
Calibration
Unlike our force sensors, the display does not
require calibration. However, rmware updates will
be available from time to time.

Language: English, Deutsch, Español.
AutoOff: With AutoOff “On”, the display will
automatically turn itself off after approximately 1
minute of inactivity.
During normal operation, information on the
connected sensor can be obtained by pressing the
Mode button. The following are shown sequentially:
SN: Sensor serial number.
Last Cal: Date sensor was last calibrated.
Cal Due: Date sensor is due for calibration.
Display Key
Force: Display measured force only
F/Peak: Display current measured force over peak
force.
F/RPM: Display current measured force over
RPM (only active for wireless sensors with RPM
measurement capability).
Units:
Newton: Newtons (1 kN = 1,000 N)
kg-force: kilogram-force (equivalent to kilopond)
lb-force: pound-force
