Introduction
The FI-90, a full-function force indicator, is available in four versions:
1) the standard AC powered version
2) an AC lead-acid, rechargeable battery version
3) an alkaline battery version
4) a 12 volt DC version
Operations mode provides gross force and peak force readings and allows
viewing and configuration of one or more of these parameters:
• ID number
• up to two cutoff registers
• time
• date
The key board consists of six keys that control all gross and peak force
measuring functions and provide access to configuration and system-test
information. See Figure 1.
