USING LOAD AVERAGING
The DF II Series force gauge allows you to perform
two different types of Load Averaging tests:
n Load Average Force-Based
n Load Average Time-Based
LOAD AVERAGE FORCE-BASED
This load averaging test allows you to set a pre-
load limit value or load threshold. This gauge
mode is represented and displayed as “LAVf”. The
preload value represents the “Start” and “End”
point for your averaging function. The gauge will
begin to collect and average the measured values
once the “Preload Value” has been sensed. The
gauge will continue to average until the measured
load drops below the preload value. When the test
is completed, the gauge will display the “Average
Load”. You can also display the peak load for the
averaging period by selecting the F1 mode key.
LOAD AVERAGE TIME-BASED
This load averaging test works identical to the
Force-Based method except it adds “Time” as
a factor. You may set the “Time Value” from 1
second to 999 seconds. This gauge mode is rep-
resented and displayed as “LAVt”.
The gauge will begin to collect and average the
measured values once the “Preload Value” has
been sensed. The gauge will continue to average
until the measured load drops below the preload

When the test is completed, the gauge will display

The gauge will begin to average once the preload value

measured load drops below the preload value.
The gauge will begin to average once the preload value
is reached. The gauge will continue to average until the
measured load drops below the preload value or when the
time has expired.
