If you select “Within“ or “Beyond“, the display will show information on
the alarm.
If you select “Fracture“, Alarm Upper LV and Alarm Lower LV will
automatically be set to “Fracture Alarm” and „Fracture Stop of Peak“.
Set these two parameters. When the force reaches the fracture alarm
value or when the sample breaks, the display will show some
information on the alarm.
Peak V. Hold
You can select „On“ or “Off“. If “Off” is selected, the peak value will not
be indicated in the display.

Factory Set C

Calibrate
Press OK to start the calibration. The calibration result will have a
considerable influence on the accuracy of measurement. There are two
possibilities to calibrate the meter:
1. Entering saved data:
The user enters the saved calibration data. The calibration is
done without any other devices or weights.
2. Standard calibration:
The force gauge is calibrated by means of the calibration
stand or calibration weight.
User Gravity
Here, you can set the gravity at the place of use. The value can be
between 9.700 and 9.900 N/kg. This parameter is used for the gravity
correction. The following formula must be used for this:
Displayed value = reading + reading x (gravitation place of calibration –
gravitation place of use)
Alarm Lower
The lower alarm can be set to +/- 9999.9.
External Input
You can select “On“ or “Off“. If “On” is selected, the external switch can
be switched on and the force gauge enters curve capture mode.
Note: The capturing duration depends on the sampling rate.
Capturing duration in seconds = number of recorded data / sampling
rate
Peak Hold Time
You can select “Clr by Key“ or certain periods between 1 and 60
seconds. If “Clr by Key“ is selected, the peak value will not be changed
until the “Arrow Right key or the “Zero Set“ button is applied.
If a period between 1 and 60 seconds is selected, the peak value will
automatically be measured again after the set time has passed. The
peak value can also be re-measured by applying the “Arrow Right key
or the “Zero Set“ button.
