Operation
Preparation for Measurement
1.
The 475044 or 474040 automatically determine TENSION or COMPRESSION (Push or
Pull) force during use. Compression displays as a negative value and Tension displays as a
positive value.
2.
Select units of measure (grams/kilograms, ounces/pounds, or Newtons) via the units select
button.
3.
Attach the desired adapter (tension – hook; compression.- flat, cone or chisel head) to the
Universal Sensing Head.
4.
Select FAST or SLOW response. The FAST setting permits the capture of fast
measurement changes and the SLOW setting provides an averaged reading display.
5.
Zero the display before each measurement via the Zero button.
Note:
The sensing head with adapter must be in line with the object being measured. Avoid
rotating the sensing head. Refer to the figure below.

Correct and Incorrect Angles of Measurement
Normal Measurement Mode
1.
Slide the POWER switch to the ON position. Reverse the LCD display if desired via the
Reverse key.
2.
Zero the meter before each measurement.
3.
Touch the adapter to the object being measured in a straight line. Refer to Fig.1.
4.
Begin measurement by applying force (Push or Pull). Read the LCD display.
5.
After completing the measurement, the display will indicate "0.00" if the position and angle of
the Force Gauge have not changed.
6.
If the position or angle of the Force Gauge changes during a measurement, the display may
show one of the following:
a) The display over-ranges because the initial force of the transducer
decreases
due to a
change in the position or angle of the Gauge after measurement.
b) The display indicates any value such as "12", "25", etc. This occurs because the initial
force of the transducer
increases
due to a change in the position or angle of the Gauge
after measurement.
Note:
Be sure to press "ZERO" before taking any new measurements.
