4. Installazione e assemblaggio

4.1. Carica della batteria

The DFS-X5000 is powered by an internal rechargeable NiMH battery pack or can operate directly from the wall plug charger. To charge, connect the provided charger to the device's power input port and then to a standard electrical outlet. The charging indicator on the device will illuminate.

4.2. Connecting the Load Cell

Connect the external S-Beam load cell cable to the designated connector port on the bottom of the force gauge unit. Ensure the connection is firm and secure. The cable length between the gauge and the S-Beam load cell is 2 meters.

5. Funzionamento

5.1. Accensione/spegnimento

Per accendere il dispositivo, tenere premuto il tasto ENERGIA button located on the control panel. To power off, press and hold the same button until the display shuts down.

5.2. Visualizzazione finitaview

The DFS-X5000 features a menu-driven, digital graphic LCD display with a white backlight for clear visibility in various lighting conditions. The display provides real-time readings, selected units, operating mode, and other indicators.

5.3. Azzeramento del misuratore

Before initiating any measurement, ensure that no load is applied to the load cell. Press the ZERO button to reset the display to zero. This ensures accurate measurements by eliminating any pre-load or offset.

5.4. Selezione delle unità di misura

Premere il tasto UNITÀ button to cycle through the available measurement units. The DFS-X5000 supports common units such as Newtons (N), pounds-force (lbf), and kilograms-force (kgf).

5.5. Modalità operative

The DFS-X5000 offers two primary operating modes:

• Modalità traccia: In this mode, the display shows live force readings as they are applied to the load cell. This is suitable for monitoring continuous force changes.
• Modalità di mantenimento del picco: This mode captures and displays the maximum force reading sensed during a test, whether it's a peak compression or peak tension value. The peak value remains on the display until reset or a new higher peak is detected.

Utilizzare il MODALITÀ button to switch between these operating modes.

5.6. Data Recording and Download

The internal memory of the DFS-X5000 can store up to 500 readings. These recorded data points can be reviewed directly on the device's display or downloaded to a Windows-based computer for further analysis using the provided USB output.
