INTRODUCTION

DS2 Series are state-of-the-art basic performance, easy-to-use
digital force gauges which feature giant, easy-to-read LCD displays
and provide RS-232, Digimatic and analog output. The Real time
measuring mode displays force transients and the Peak measuring
mode captures the peak force achieved during a test. Selectable
lbf(ozf), kgf(gf), and N measuring units.

IMPORTANT

Make sure to read this manual before operating.

capacity, the display flashes to warn. NEVER exceed 200% of the
rated capacity, or the load cell will be damaged.Avoid shock
load.

3. The gauge can be used between 30 – 100°F (0 – 40°C)

For the most accurate results, use the gauge at temperatures
close to ones on the certificate of calibration.

4. When mounting DS2 Series, use M4 mounting screws with a

maximum insertion depth of 8 mm into the gauge.

5. Measure in line tension and compression

forces only. DO NOT attempt to mea-
sure forces at an angle to the measuring
shaft – damage to load cell and/or shaft
may result.
