Operating Instructions
When measuring Compression, the meter will show a "-" symbol. While measuring, be sure to have the Sensor aligned with the object being measured. Do not measure on an angle, as the Sensor may be damaged and the readings will not be accurate.
1) Turn on the meter by pressing the Power Button. To turn the meter off, hold the Power Button for 2 seconds.
2) Select the measuring unit. For instructions on this, please see the
Advanced Settings section.
3) Connect an Adapter and the measuring object to the Sensor. The measuring object should be in a straight line. Do not apply any force while in Standby Mode.
4) Zero Adjust the meter by pushing Zero Button before every measurement.
5) Start measuring by giving force (push or pull) to the Sensor. The screen will display the Average reading value. To change the display direction, push the Reverse Button.
6) There are two kind sampling time of display, Fast and Slow. The
Display will indicate "FAST" if measuring in Fast Sampling Time, and "SLOW" if measuring under Slow Sampling Time. Push the
Fast/Slow Button to switch between Fast and Slow Sampling.
Note: Over range of tension will display as " ---- " and over range of compression will display as "----".
Peak Hold Measurement
The meter can measure the peak value of force both of tension & compression operation. While taking a measurement, as described above, press the Peak Button to switch to Peak Hold Mode. The Display will show the "PEAK" indicator, and during measurement the Display will freeze on the Peak hold value.

Datalogger
Preparation Before Executing the Datalogger Function:
1) Insert the optional SD card into the SD card socket.
2) Before you use an SD card with this meter for the first time, it is recommend to format the SD card. See Advanced Settings section of this manual for instructions.
3) If this is the first time the meter is used you need to adjust the clock. See Advanced Settings section of this manual for instructions.
4) Now you need to set the decimal format. The numerical data structure downloaded to the SD card is defaulted used the "." as the decimal, for example "20.6" "1000.53". But in certain countries the
"," is used as the decimal point, for example "20, 6" "1000,53". See
Advanced Settings section of this manual for instructions on how to change the Decimal Character.

Button, and the "REC" symbol will flash once and one Beep will sound, at the same time the measuring data along the time information will be saved in memory. The lower Display will show the
Position (record) number, which is saved as well.
2) To Change the Position Number; press the Down Button and the lower position number will flash on the display. Press the Up or
Down Buttons to set the Position Number (1 to 99) to help identify the measurement location. The lower Display will show P x (x = 1 to
99). After the position number is selected, press the Enter Button to confirm.
3) Stop Datalogging; press the REC Button for 2 seconds, and the
"REC" symbol will disappear indicating the Datalogging function has stopped.

6) When the peak value is obtained, the indicator "DATA RECORD" will disappear, while the "PEAK" indicator and the Peak Value will remain. The bottom of the Display will show the data record number and count down to zero, while saving the data to the SD card.
Checking the Time
During normal functions (not Datalogging), press the Time Check Button and the lower LCD display will show the Year, Month/Date, Hour/Minute.
Check Sampling Time Information
During normal functions (not Datalogging), press the Sampling Button and the lower LCD display will show the Sampling Time Information.
SD Card Data Structure
1) The first time the SD card is used in the meter, the SD card will generate a folder: FGB01
2) The first time you use the Datalogger, in the folder FGB01, a new file name FGB01001.XLS will be created. The Datalogger will use this file until the Data has reached to 30,000 rows. The meter will then will generate a new file with a subsequent number, for example FGB01002.XLS.
3) The folder FGB01 can hold 99.XLS files. When that number has been reached, the meter will then will generate a new folder with a subsequent number, for example FGB02. Max number of FGB-- folders is 10.
