CALIBRATION REqUIREMENTS
1. Secure and mount force gauge to a calibration stand and mount
the gauge upside down.

2. Obtain the appropriate full scale Metric range calibration weight
of your unit.

3. Turn POWER OFF

4. Attach the fixture on the shaft of the force gauge. Thread and
tighten onto shaft by hand only.

5. Press and hold the UNIT, PEAK and ZERO switches.

6. Press and release the POWER switch while still holding the
other 3 switches. Continue holding the 3 switches until the display
reads CAL, now release the three switches.

7. Press the UNIT switch. The display will blink SCN for 10 sec-
onds then show ZER. The force gauge is now ready for zero point
calibration.

8. Press ZERO to zero calibrate. Wait approximately 18 seconds.
The display will blink SCN then PEK. Do not press any other
switches or move the sensing shaft during calibration.

9. Hang the calibration weight on the hook and stabilize. The pro-
cess values will change. The gauge is now ready for full-scale
calibration.

10. Press the PEAK switch to begin full scale calibration. Display
blinks SCN. Do not press any keys or touch the unit or weight
