CAUTION: if Auto-off displays NO, we advise you to use the force gauge with the charger to avoid
the measuring process being interrupted because of low battery condition.
3. IN / OUT
The Centor EASY force gauge is equipped with a SubD15 pins
connector on the side. You can use this connector to connect it to an
external device in order to communicate. (See the appendix for pin
numbers). You can either:
• Pedal: input to perform an action to the force gauge
• Top1: output sending signal 0 or 1 when threshold is
reached
• Anal: analogue output at 100Hz on 10bits
• Digi: digimatic output, by example for printer
• RS232: input/output sending current values continuously,
per request (pressing TDX button) or per computer action
