Warning! The AFG must be
powered down when connecting
or disconnecting smart
transducers.
Note: Connecting a new ‘Smart’
transducer causes the default

Loadcell Diagnostic test
An instrument showing an
overload condition cannot be
relied upon to provide accurate,
repeatable measurement –
consult your supplier.
For hand-held tension applications it is often desirable to
reverse the display, so that the operator can read it more
comfortably. Press and hold the MAX key whilst powering up
the AFG with the key to invert the display. This feature is
remembered after power down.
The AFG may be returned to its original factory default
settings, indicated on pages 28 and 29 of the Advanced
Menu Options section of this manual.
Press and hold the RESET key whilst powering up the AFG
with the key
All Advanced Force Gauges have a 15-pin ‘Smart’ connector
port on the left-hand side for interface with Mecmesin external
‘Smart’ force and torque sensors. This allows you to use your
existing AFG to perform additional tests without the need for a
dedicated instrument.
To connect a ‘Smart’ sensor, power down the gauge and
plug in the ‘Smart’ force or torque sensor to the 15-pin ‘Smart’
port. Power on the AFG. The ‘Smart’ transducer will be
automatically recognised and the capacity displayed.
If you suspect that your AFG loadcell or ‘Smart’ sensor has
sustained an overload it is possible to check the status of the
sensor immediately.
Symptoms of overload may be (a) OL in display (b) buzzer
sound (c) probe not aligned perpendicularly to gauge (d)
load indicator bar present even under zero load.
See CALIBRATION section of Advanced Menu Options on
page 28 to check load cell status.
