No. Name Description
1 Measurement
direction
indicator
– indicates compression direction (for force sensors)
– indicates tension direction (for force sensors)
– indicates clockwise direction (for torque sensors)
– indicates counter-clockwise direction (for torque sensors)
These indicators are used throughout the display and menu.
2 Compression /
Clockwise peak
The maximum measured compression or clockwise value. This value may be
reset by pressing ZERO or by powering the indicator off and on.
3 Tension /
Clockwise peak /
Static COF
The maximum measured tension or counter-clockwise value. If the COF unit
is selected, this represents the static coefficient of friction. May be reset by
pressing ZERO or by powering the indicator off and on.
4 Primary reading /
Kinetic COF The current displayed load reading. When the COF unit is selected, this
reading represents the kinetic coefficient of friction upon completion of an
Averaging sequence. See Operating Modes section for details. If a sensor
is not plugged in, this value will be replaced by a message, as follows:
SENSOR NOT CONNECTED
5 Load bar Analog indicator to help identify when an overload condition is imminent. The
bar increases either to the right or to the left from the midpoint of the graph.
Increasing to the right indicates compression or clockwise load, increasing to
the left indicates tension or counter-clockwise load. If set points are enabled,
triangular markers are displayed for visual convenience. This indicator reflects
the actual load, which may not correspond to the primary reading (depends
on operating mode). The ZERO key does not reset the load bar. See
Operating Modes section for details.
6 Units The current measurement unit. Abbreviations are as follows:
Force units:
lbF – Pound-force
ozF – Ounce-force
kgF – Kilogram-force
gF – Gram-force
