Chatillon
DFGS offers the highest level of sophistication, accuracy and operation
features within a single digital force gauges. Its rapid
internal sampling rate, set point capability and other programmable test
parameters are well suited for demanding R&D requirements as well
as precise production floor applications.
The standard bi-directional RS232 interface permits on demand data transmission
as well as peripheral control of all gauge keypad functions. The
highly accurate analog output voltage provides for precise graphing of
the force curve. When integrated with a Chatillon TCD-200 digitally controlled test stand, the DFGS becomes the heart of
an extremely versatile tester system.
Operation Features:
- Internal digital sampling rate of 5000 samples per second
- Programmable high and low force set points with audible indicator
and RS232 output signal for stopping motor drive on Chatillon TCD-200 digital test stands or cycling the stand between the set points.
Operator may configure audible indicator and/or RS232 output signal
inactive while maintaining set point values in memory.
- Peak function automatically captures and stores highest instantaneous
reading within each test. The peak function may be engaged prior
to testing to freeze the display at the highest reading. It may
also be engaged after the test to display the peak value stored.
The "zero" and Star keys clear peak memory.
- Tension/compression modes are indicated by "T" for tension
or "C" for compression upon force application. In the digital
output, tension values are identified with a minus sign
- Contact closure, force capture function can capture the instantaneous
electric contact force within keypads, buttons, switches, etc.
In this application, the test contacts are electrically connected to
the DFGS via two pins on the output connector. Upon contact closure,
the DFGS is electrically prompted to freeze the digital display as well
as the analog output level.
- Selectable units of measurement: lb, kg or N (250 gram gauge reads
in units of oz, g or N)
- Push button calibration in any selected units
- Rechargeable battery or AC operation allows 8 hour continuous battery
operation with 12-14 hour charge. Low battery indicator on display.
Continuous AC operation via charger/AC adaptor
- Auto shut-off function preserves battery life. DFGS shuts off if idle
for 10 minutes. Operator may deactivate this feature if undesirable.
- Available for 110 VAC or 220 VAC
Output/Interface Features:
- Bi-directional RS232 interface for data transmission as well as peripheral
control of all gauge keypad functions. Digital data transmission
up to 100 data points per second may be accomplished via the interface.
Data transmission parameters are user-selectable. (Baud rates
from 300 to 19,200). When interfaced with a Chatillon TCD-200 digital test stand, the DFGS may be programmed to transmit
an RS232 signal upon reaching a force set point in order to stop the
test stand motor or cycle the stand between force set points.
- Mitutoyo output (modified BCD) for use with Mitutoyo brand processors
- Precise Analog Output: 0 to ±2.0 VDC full scale with accuracy of ±0.18
volts. "Zero" key will zero analog output as well as display
for preloads applications
Physical Design Features:
- Die cast metal reversible housing. Split housing design permits upright
display whether gauge is hand held or test stand mounted.
- Easy to read 1/2" high LCD display with 4-1/2 digits for forced
value. Smaller characters within the display indicate units of measurement,
test mode, set point and low battery
- 9 key membrane keypad
- 2 separate rear mounting hole patterns (#10-32 thread)
- #10-32 x 3/16 long thread on load cell shaft
- Output connector: 12 pin "Hirose" design
