Fitting of alkaline batteries
Battery safety information
USING THE GAUGE
Fitting accessories
Mounting to a test stand
If rechargeable batteries are fitted, a trickle charge will be
applied to the batteries with the display switched on.
The AFG can also be powered by AAA 1.5V alkaline batteries
(not supplied). For the fitting of alkaline batteries, follow fitting
instructions as per rechargeable batteries above.
Warning: When alkaline batteries are fitted, the mains
adaptor/charger must NEVER be connected to the AFG due to
the risk of acid leakage which could damage the instrument.
NEVER:
Short circuit Disassemble or deform cells
Heat or incinerate Immerse in water
Solder anything to the battery terminals
Reverse individual cell polarity
Use alternative chargers other than those supplied by Mecmesin
Use replacement parts other than those supplied by Mecmesin
Never dispose of batteries with ‘normal’ refuse. Contact your
local Environmental Authority to determine the location of your
appropriate disposal facility.
All AFG instruments are supplied with a short extension rod
(30mm long). This fits directly onto the loadcell mounted in the
bottom of the AFG. When attaching accessories to the gauge
always use the extension rod. It comes supplied with a thumb
wheel to control the orientation of any accessory fitted.
When fitting the extension rod ensure that it is screwed finger-
tight only. Excessive torque can damage the loadcell. Your
chosen grip can now be fitted to the extension rod which has
an M6 male thread.
On the rear of the gauge there are two M5 threaded holes,
which can be used for mounting the gauge to a Mecmesin test
stand.
Each Mecmesin test stand is supplied with a dedicated
‘dovetailed mounting bracket’ and screws for this purpose.
If you wish to mount to another type of stand, ensure that the
screws used are threaded into the gauge to a maximum depth
of 12mm. If screws are fitted beyond this depth, damage to
the internal PCB or loadcell may occur.
