simultaneously.
Press the Mode soft key again and the display returns to the force measurement mode.
3.2 Force Measurement
Follow these steps to perform a gross force measurement.
1. Turn on the unit with the On/Off key.
2. Remove any weight from the EDX.
3. Zero the EDX by pressing the ZERO key.
4. Apply the force to the EDX and read the gross force on the display.
You can change the units of measure of the display by pressing the Units soft key. See
the note below. Zero reference is maintained after the instrument is powered off and
will be recalled with the next power-on. Zero reference may be lost if battery power is
removed.
3.2.1 Force Measurement Rezero and Net Force Display
Rezeroing allows the weight or load of fixturing to be invisible to the measurement. The
zeroed load must always be considered as part of the maximum capacity.
1. Turn on the unit with the On/Off key.
2. Remove any weight from the EDX.
3. Zero the EDX by pressing the ZERO key.
4. Apply the tare force to the EDX and press the ZERO key.
5. Apply the force to the EDX and read the net force on the display.
Steps 2 and 3 are not required if the weight of the fixturing is not needed. This should
be maintained, however, to know cumulative loads.
Power up display modes may be configured. See Config>Mode section.
Unit of measure can be changed only if multiple units are enabled in the Configuration
menu.
