4.2 Selecting the mode of operation

After the instrument has been turned on, choose the mode of operation by pressing the S

button. 4 operation modes can be selected:

STD In the regular mode of operation the actual measured value is displayed. The ac

tual measured value is the average value of all single measured values since the

display`s last update

PEAK+ the values are captured as described before but the display shows the positive

absolute peak values only (drag pointer function for push operation)

PEAK- instead of the positive now the negative absolute peak values are shown (drag

pointer function for pull operation)

PEAK (Peak symbol ashes) high speed measurement activated, in order to capture

the real peak value in break or tensile testing of hard materials. (this mode is

available in series FMI-S20 and FMI-S30 instruments only)

4.3 Start/Stop the measurement

Please pay attention on that force effects – both compressive and

tensile forces – are carried out perpendicularly to the measuring axle.

The measuring outcome will be false if the force axle is not aligned

perpendicularly.Force effects that do not appear perpendicularly can

damage the internal sensor. This is true especially for gauges with

a measurement range designed for small forces, when the radial or

laterally operating forces are too big.

By pressing the I-Button you start the measurement, the symbol of the measuring dimension

(N) flashes and the instrument performs an AUTO-TARA to eliminate the gravitation force in-

fluence of the measuring axis and the installed attachments which differs with the position of

the instrument. At the same time the temperature offset is readjusted. The AUTO-TARE function

can be deactivated (see chapter 6.6). Due to the very high sensivity of the instruments even

slight movements or minute vibrations in the environment are captured and diplayed with

values uneven zero.

By pressing the I-button or by the AUTO-STOP function (see chapter 6.5) the measuring cycle

will be stopped. The dimension unit and the last or peak value is displayed continuously.

4.4 Display measuring results

With stopping the measuring cycle the results of the measurement are captured and saved in

the instrument. By each press on the S-button the displayed value changes from > last value >

positive peak value > negative peak value > and back to the last value. If the measurement has

been taken in high speed mode, the PEAK symbol flashes accordingly.

To start the next measurement without deleting the peak memory, the I-button can be pressed.
