3.3 Force Measurement Rezero
Rezeroing allows the weight or load of fixturing to be invisible to the measurement. The
zeroed load must always be considered as part of the maximum capacity.
1. Turn on the unit with the On/Off key.
2. Remove any weight from the EDX.
3. Zero the EDX by pressing the ZERO key.
4. Apply the tare force to the EDX and press the ZERO key.
5. Apply the force to the EDX and read the net force on the display.
Steps 2 and 3 are not required if the weight of the fixturing is not needed. This should
be maintained, however, to know cumulative loads.
3.4 Displaying Peak Force
The EDX will store the peak force applied until that reading is cleared. To display the
peak force applied to an EDX, from the force measurement mode, press the Mode soft
key. The display changes to display menu #2 shown in Figure
3.1 which is the peak
display mode. The peak force is displayed. You can clear this by pressing the Clear soft
key.
Peak reading is maintained after instrument power off and will be recalled with the next
power-on. Peak reading may be lost if battery power is removed.
