INTRODUCTION
Imada Z Series are state-of-the-art high performance, digital force
gauges which offer USB output, giant, easy-to-read LCD displays
and high/low setpoints with color-coded LED indicators for go/no
go testing. These force gauges store up to 1,000 data values in
memory, which can be transmitted using USB or RS-232 or out-
put formats.
The real time measuring mode is used to display force transients.
Peak measuring mode captures the peak force achieved during a
test. Select measuring units from lbf(ozf), kgf(gf), and N.
IMPORTANT
1. WARNING!! Test samples and fixtures can break or shatter,
wear eye and body protection to avoid injury.
2. WARNING!! REGARDLESS of whether the unit is ON or OFF,
DO NOT exceed the capacity of the gauge. At 110% of the
rated capacity, the overload LED indicator flashes to warn.
NEVER exceed 200% of the rated capacity, or the load cell will
be damaged. Avoid shock load.
3. When mounting Z Series, use M4 mounting screws with a
maximum insertion depth of 5 mm into the gauge. For high
capacity gauges (ZPH) use mounting hardware supplied only.
4. Measure in line tension and compression forces only. DO
NOT attempt to measure forces per-
pendicular to the measuring shaft –
damage to load cell and/or shaft may
result.
5. Hand tighten attachments only.
DO NOT use tools.
6. Make sure this gauge and all peripherals are powered down
before attaching any cables.
7. DO NOT disassemble the gauge. Disassembly voids warranty.
