INTRODUCTION
Imada ZTA Series high performance, digital force gauges include all
the standard features: selectable real time and peak measuring
modes, selectable measuring units lbf (ozf), kgf (gf), N, high/low set-
points with color-coded LED indicators for Go/No Go testing, 1,000
data memory, USB, RS-232 and Digimatic output, and they process
and transmit 2,000 data/second not just the peak.
Additionally ZTA gauges incorporate user-friendly, multi-language
program menus, highly visible EL (electro luminescent) displays, USB
adapter to connect flash drives and ZT Logger software which down-
loads gauge memory and sets all gauge functions. Displacement data
is available when connected to Imada test stands with the FA option.

PRECAUTIONS
1. WARNING!! Test samples and fixtures can break or shatter,
wear eye and body protection to avoid injury.
2. WARNING!! REGARDLESS of whether the unit is ON or OFF,
DO NOT exceed the capacity of the gauge. At 110% of the
rated capacity, the overload LED indicator flashes to warn.
NEVER exceed 200% of the rated capacity, or the load cell will
be damaged.Avoid shock load.
3. When mounting ZTA Series, use M4 mounting screws with a
maximum insertion depth of 5 mm into the gauge. For high
capacity gauges use the supplied mounting hardware only.
4. Measure in line tension and compression
forces only. DO NOT attempt to mea-
sure forces perpendicular to the measur-
ing shaft – damage to load cell and/or
shaft may result.
5. Hand tighten attachments only.
DO NOT use tools.
6. Make sure this gauge and all peripherals are powered down
before attaching any cables.
7. DO NOT disassemble the gauge. Disassembly voids warranty.

3.Downloading Data from Memory
Choose between the following download methods.
1. USB Data Download from Memory
1) Connect the gauge and computer
receiving data with the included USB
cable.
2) Turn on the gauge and ZT Logger.
3) Under the Data menu, select Import
Gauge Memory.The gauge memory
will fill the Data Table which can be
saved as a CSV file.
2. RS-232C Data Download from Memory
Connect the gauge and device receiving data with a CB-208 cable.
All functions can be duplicated remotely by using the RS-232C
interface. Commands must be sent in uppercase ASCII character
format followed by a carriage return [CR].
RS-232C Signal: 8 data, 1 stop, no parity. Baud Rate: 19,200 bps
Refer to the tables on pages 18-21 for ASCII commands.
3. Mitutoyo Digimatic Signal
Connect the CB-308 cable to the communications port and the
device receiving the data. Set up parameters as instructed from
the Mitutoyo processor manual.
4. ±2 VDC Analog Signal
Connect the CB-108 analog cable
to the communications port to
receive the voltage signal.The volt-
age comes through the D/A con-
verter and will reset to zero when
a tare function is performed.
Use contact closure only and DO NOT apply voltage
to #24 through #30 port pins.
5. External Power ON/OFF (Same as ON/OFF key function)
Connecting #24 (EX_Power) and #30 (GND) of the communica-
tions port turns ON the gauge and connecting #24 (EX_Power)
and #30 (GND) while #29 (Shift) and #30 (GND) are connected
turns OFF the gauge.
6. External Zero (Same as ZERO key function)
Connecting #25 (EX_ZERO) and #30 (GND) of the communications
port resets the force display. (Tare, peak reset, or peak reset only
are dependent on the Zero/Tare Reset settings, see page 50).
7. External Send (same as the SEND key function)
Connecting #26 (EX_SEND) and #30 (GND) of the communica-
tions port sends data to gauge memory (up to 1,000 data) and an
external device and holds the display while the signal is closed.
8. External Peak (same as PEAK key function)
Connecting #27 (EX_PEAK) and #30 (GND) of the communications
port cycles real time, compression peak and tension peak.

1.Installation
1. USB Driver Installation Windows Vista/7
If Windows Vista/7 does not
automatically install the ZT series
driver, follow these directions.
1. Connect the ZTA gauge to the
computer with the provided
USB cable.Turn on the gauge.
2. Insert the ZT Driver CD-ROM
and click the Windows Icon.
3. In the search bar, above the
Windows Icon, type “device
manager” and press enter to
open the Device Manager.
4. Find the force gauge in the Device
Manager. It will be under “Other
Devices”.The force gauge will be
listed as an “Unknown Device”.
Right Click the entry and select
“Update Driver Software…”.
ZT LOGGER
ZT Logger USB software utility can download and log all data stored
in gauge memory and log all force values sent to gauge memory
while the gauge is online. ZT Logger saves data files in CSV format.

On the next screen,
select “Browse…”
6. Navigate to the “DRI-
VER” folder on the ZT
Driver CD-ROM and
select OK.
7. Windows may ask for
confirmation to install
the driver, click Yes.
When the screen at the
right comes up, the dri-
ver has been successfully
installed.
8. To confirm the driver

uted with Windows 8.To check what version is installed on your
computer, open the Control Panel, select Add or Remove
Programs/Uninstall a program.You should see Microsoft .NET
Framework X.X.
2. If you do not see Microsoft .NET
Framework 4.0 you will need to
install it from the CD-ROM
included with your Imada ZTA
force gauge. Open the CD in
Window Explorer and navigate
to ZT Logger/Non-
Japanese/DotNetFx40Client fold-
er and install dotNetFx40_Client
by double clicking the program.
3. Once installation is complete,
restart the computer.
Windows 8 Driver
Before installing the Windows 8 driver,
the installation of unsigned drivers in
Windows 8 must be enabled. Follow the
steps below.
1. Activate the charm bar, hover over
the bottom right or top right corner
of the screen, then press the Settings
Icon.Alternatively, press Windows
key and “I” to launch the charm bar.
Select Change PC Settings.
2. Select General.
3. Scroll down and select Advanced
Startup.
4. Click Restart Now.The computer will
restart to the advanced startup
menu.
5. Select Troubleshoot.
6. Select Advanced Options.
7. Select Startup Settings.
8. Select Restart.
9. The computer will restart and boot
to the startup settings menu. Option
7 should be Disable Driver Signature
Enforcement. Press 7 or F7 to boot
Windows 8 with driver signature
enforcement disabled.
10.Once these steps have been com-
pleted, follow the steps for Windows
7/ Vista Driver installation.
Windows XP Driver
1. Connect the ZTA force gauge to computer with the USB cable
provided and turn ON the gauge.Welcome to the Found New
Hardware Wizard should appear.
2. Insert the Driver CD-ROM (included with force gauge) and select
“install software automatically.” Click Next and follow onscreen
instructions.When prompted to search the Web select “No not
this time” and click Next.
3. If a Windows XP compatibility message appears, select “continue
anyway.”
4. After the ZT driver is installed select “Finish.”
