Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Mecmesin Advanced Force Gauge (AFG) instrument. With correct
use and regular re-calibration it will give many years of accurate and reliable service.
The Mecmesin AFG is the flagship member of a series of highly versatile display units. By using
the latest integrated circuit technology it has been possible to produce an instrument which can
be used to measure tensile and compressive forces accurately, whilst being simple to use by the
operator. Information contained in this operating manual also applies to the AFTI display when
used with external ‘Smart’ sensors.
Before Use
Upon receiving the unit please check that no physical damage has occurred to the packaging
material, plastic case or the instrument itself. If any damage is evident please notify Mecmesin
immediately.
Operation
The most commonly used features (such as displaying force, peak hold, zero and changing of
displayed units) can all be done by pressing a single dedicated key identified on the front
panel with grey text – see page 5, Basic Functions.
For less frequently used features, a number of menu “hot keys” are provided, whereby the
operator simply presses and holds a menu key to access the gauge configuration – see page
9, Optional Settings.
To configure the advanced features of the gauge a full menu-driven system is available by using
the keys identified on the front panel with red text – see page 11, Advanced Menu Options.
