Measurement Practice
For best measurement accuracy keep the compression/tension forces in
line with the force gauge. Alleviate bending loads and torque loads applied to
the load cell as these can adversely affect measurement performance.
Always keep the gauge below the capacity limit shown on the front of
the gauge. If gauge is used above this capacity in either tension or
compression, even for a short time, permanent load cell damage can result.
Overload damage is not covered by warranty.
When you tare the force gauge to zero, the amount tared is part of the
total force applied. So if you tare say 20% of the capacity you have 80%
maximum force left you can apply.
For best performance and safety, use gauge with charged battery.
Battery may degrade over time and result in reduce charged capacity. It is
recommended that battery be replaced with genuine Nextech NiMH battery
after few years in use or when re-calibration is performed. Battery NiMH type
are safe and does not result in overheat when use with correct charger.
Calibration is performed from the factory and calibration certificate
provided in the plastic case. Gauge should be re-calibrated approximately
every 6 months but not more than 2 years. For assistance in calibration, please
contact Nextech or Nextech’s distributors.
