Controls - Mark-10 Force Measurement

1 ControlsSeries MG Force gauges have three keys for controlling all func-tions of the the instrument on and off. It is alsoused to select an option in the setup to select Tension Peak, Compression Peak or normal (real time)display mode. The actual peakreadings are always captured and canbe displayed at any any tare value (up to the full ca-pacity of the gauge) and clears the peakreadings stored in display consists of a 4 1/2-digit section and several indica-tors. Their functions are listed BATLow battery voltage indicatorCCompressive Force indicatorTTensile Force indicatorC PEAKPeak compressive Force indicatorT PEAKPeak tensile Force indicatorLB, KG, N, GUnits of Measurement (modeldependent)- - - - (dashes)Overload (>110% of range)To change the default mode of operation and the displayed unitsof Measurement , hold PEAK while turning on the power.

2 PressPEAK repeatedly until 'init' appears on the display. PressPOWER. A flashing indicator will show the present setting. PressPEAK repeatedly to scroll through the available choices andPOWER to accept the desired one. The flashing indicator willshow the present units of Measurement . Use PEAK to scrollthrough the available choices and POWER to accept. PressPOWER again at the 'donE' prompt to save the change the default shutdown setting of 30 minutes, hold PEAK while turning on the power. Press PEAK repeatedly until 'AOFF'appears. Press POWER to select this function. The current set-ting will flash on the display. Use the PEAK key to scroll throughthe displayed choices and POWER to select. Press POWER again at the 'donE' prompt to save the no changes have been made, exit the setup mode by momen-tarily inserting the power plug with the AC adapter unplugged,or disconnect the battery.

3 This action will terminate the setupmode without making any changes to the previous gauge may be powered by the internal 9V battery or by theincluded AC adapter. Please do not substitute other adapt-ers, since a connection of a power source with reversepolarity will cause serious damage to the a steady LO BAT appears on the display, it indicates thelast 10% of battery life. A flashing LO BAT indicates the need foran immediate battery properly calibrate this instrument, application of an exact loadappropriate for your model will be required. It must be in poundsas indicated by the model number. For example, the MG50requires a 50 lb calibration weight regardless of displayed holding PEAK, turn on the gauge. Press PEAK repeatedlyuntil CAL appears on the display and press POWER three times toselect the calibration mode.

4 At the null prompt press ZERO. At the SPAn prompt apply your test weight and press POWER. Thedisplay will show uuuu (test weight is insufficient) or nnnn (testweight is excessive). If this happens, terminate the calibration modeby momentarily inserting the power plug with the AC adapter un-plugged, or disconnect the battery. This will stop the calibrationprocedure without making any changes to the previous successful calibration is indicated by donE on the display. PressPOWER to save the changes and resume normal x x lb, 50 x gF, x x lb, 100 x , 1 x x lb, 250 x gF, x NMG22 x lb, 1 x kgF, 10 x NMG55 x lb, x kgF, 25 x NMG1010 x lb, 5 x kgF, 50 x NMG2020 x lb, 10 x kgF, 100 x NMG5050 x lb, 25 x kgF, 250 x NMG100100 x lb, 50 x kgF, 500 x NMG200200 x lb, 100 x kgF, 1000 x 1 NMG500500 x lb, 250 x kgF, 2500 x 2 NMountingThe instrument housing is reversible and may be rotated 180 for test stand mounting by unscrewing two screws on the back,rotating the housing and reassembling.

5 In addition to the #6-32screws, a " [ mm] dia. load-carrying pin should beutilized so as not to stress the default mode of operation of the series MG is the normal (real time)mode. The peak readings can be observed as they occur by pressingPEAK until the desired mode (C PEAK or T PEAK) appears on thedisplay. This action affects only the display. The actual tensile andcompressive peak readings are captured automaticallyand are re-tained until cleared by pressing ZERO or shutting off the gauge. It isalso equipped with an automatic shutdown feature which will shut it offafter a selected period of inactivity. The default setting is 30 displayed units of Measurement , the mode of operation (peak ornormal) and the automatic shutdown settings can be changed by thefollowing procedure: series MGWe make a measurable difference in Force & torque measurementWarrantyMark-10 Corporation expressly warrants to its buyer for three (3) years from the date of delivery thatthe goods sold are free from defects in workmanship and materials.
