MOST IMPORTANT - READ BEFORE USING THE FDX FORCE GAGE
OVERLOADS: FDX provides overload protection of its load cell. However, EXCESSIVE
OVERLOADS or IMPACT LOADING will cause permanent damage.
Prior to reaching an overload condition, the FDX sounds the tone for
five seconds, then displays “HELP”. Continuing to apply force to the
FDX will damage the load cell. For overload protection by capacity,
see SPECIFICATIONS TABLE 3.
When HELP is displayed, it indicates:
• FDX is overloaded. Increasing the load will damage the load cell.
CORRECT LOADING: FDX is intended for axial loads only. Application of force to the load shaft
at an angle or twisting the load shaft will cause erroneous readings. If
these forces are excessive, damage will occur.
ATTACHING IMPLEMENTS: Attach implements “finger-tight” only. Use of tools to attach implements
to the load shaft will cause damage to the FDX.
AC ADAPTER/CHARGER: Use only the AC adapter/charger, supplied with FDX.
Using other adapter/charger units may damage the gage.
CABLE CONNECTION: Turn FDX off before connecting or disconnecting a cable.
NiMH BATTERIES: Use of NiMH replacement batteries is recommended.
Do not use charger or USB cable if alkaline or lithium batteries are used.
Never install the batteries backwards.
Do not use batteries with different brand names or mix old batteries
with new.
Never crush, short-circuit, or incinerate batteries.
Do not use damaged batteries.
Recommend recycling batteries using a local collection program.
