2 measuring mode – SHIMPO FGV-XY-Series User Manual

Page 13

-12-

This mode shows the current force applied, tension/compression, on the sensor shaft.
1. Turn on the FGV-XY by pressing POWER.
2. Press ZERO to tare the gauge.
3. If necessary, press and release PEAK until NO “PEAK” on display.

The measurement displayed is the average of the measured samples* over the display's update time.
The display update time is set to 3 times/second by default. This can be increased up to 20 times/second. Refer to section 4.5.2 for more
information.

To change the measurement unit, press UNIT. The units of measure available on each gauge depends on its capacity.

See the speciﬁ cation sheet, section 9, to see which units are availablefor a particular model gauge.

Press ZERO to reset the measured value. This will allow the gauge to ignore any force currently applied to the sensor shaft. The ignored, or

tared, force is still counted with regards to the gauge's overload condition.

Overload will occur when the force applied to the sensor shaft exceeds the gauge's rated capacity by 20%. Stop measuring, and remove the load

immediately to avoid permanent damage to the gauge. Any measurements taken in the overload range are not accurate.

Tare is automatically performed when the gauge is ﬁ rst powered on.

5.2.2 Peak Mode

Peak mode displays the greatest force in both the positive and negative direction. Sampling time is 1ms.*
Press PEAK to change from standard measuring mode, to positive peak mode, to negative peak mode.
In the positive peak mode, “PEAK” is displayed.
In the negative peak mode, “PEAK” and “- “ are displayed.
