can be adjusted if required via the Adjust Values Menu. The applied force at which the PFT
triggers the start of braking is also shown in this menu
To use as a simple ON/OFF trigger pad, just set the measure Pedal Force setting off. The PFT
will then use a fixed setting of about 5 kgF to trigger the start and the Gradient Measurement
mode displays ‘BRAKE ON’ when a force greater than the internal trigger setting is applied.
The instrument will sense if a non-Bluetooth Pedal Pad is connected to the DIN socket. In this
case the instrument will use the connected Pedal Pad (and not attempt to pair) either as an
analog pedal force transducer or as a simple on/off trigger switch. The Gradient
Measurement mode will display either the applied pedal force or ‘BRAKE ON’ as above
(providing external trigger is enabled). Note that the instrument will not attempt to zero an
analog PFT connected in this manner and you must adjust its zero manually in the Adjust
Values menu.
