MultiTest-dV Operating Manual Mecmesin 15
4.8. Fitting and Connecting an AFG
The MultiTest-dV has a dovetail bracket attached to the moving crosshead; this is used
to mount AFG devices.
To fit an AFG first, attach the AFG mounting bracket (part no. 432-427) to the back of a
Mecmesin AFG or AFTI digital force gauge. Then slide the gauge sideways onto the
dovetail and secure it by tightening the dovetail screw with an Allen key.
To prevent damage, do not over-tighten the grub screw in the dovetail when a gauge
bracket is not present.
Note: Take care when handling lower capacity AFGs, as damage can easily occur from
mishandling.
It is also essential to ensure that the attached grips and fixtures do not overload the
gauge. If in doubt, please check the weight of any addition grips and fixtures before
fitting these.
