NOTE: Although any weight or force up to 100% of the load cell
capacity can be tared , the net capacity of the gage will decrease if
the tare is more than 25% of the load cell nominal capacity:
NET CAPACITY = 125% NOMINAL CAPACITY MINUS(-) TARE
4. The LCD will display a “C” if the currently applied force is a compres-
sion force and a “T” if the currently applied force is a tension force.
5. Peak Hold - Displaying Peak Readings
The FDV continuously tracks the highest peak compression and
highest peak tension readings. While tracking, the FDV also retains
the peak values, allowing both peaks to be captured during a single
test. Pressing the PEAK button activates the peak mode prior to
commencing the test.
Pressing the PEAK button repeatedly, after concluding a test, dis-
plays in succession:
- Peak compression reading
- Peak tension reading
- Current applied force
If the currently displayed reading is a peak reading, then the "PEAK"
indicator will be displayed. In addition, a peak compression reading
will have the "C" indicator and a peak tension reading will have the
"T" indicator displayed.
To clear the peak readings and zero the FDV for the next test, press
the ZERO button. The FDV remains in the peak mode after the gage
is zeroed. To exit the peak mode press the PEAK button, and to
confirm, note that the "PEAK" indicator is no longer displayed.
CAUTION: EXCESSIVE OVERLOADS over 25% above maximum
capacity or IMPACT LOADING may cause permanent damage to load
cell. EXERCISE CAUTION to prevent overloading or impact loading.
RECOMMENDATION: Precise axial loading of 5 lb and 10 lb FDV
force gages is recommended. When using the FDV 5 and FDV 10
Force Cell Modules take extra care to apply loads axially to the load
shaft. This will avoid side loading of the Force Cell Module and
prevent significant errors.
