GOYOJO Digital Force Gauge 1000N/220LB/100KG Instruction Manual

1. Introducció

The GOYOJO Digital Force Gauge is a precision instrument designed for accurate push and pull force measurements. It supports a peak load value of 1000N (220LB/100KG) and offers a high-resolution load division value of 0.1N/0.01LB/0.01KG, making it suitable for detecting even minute changes in force. This device is engineered for robust and consistent performance in various demanding applications, including industrial quality control, electronics testing, automotive parts inspection, and textile tension analysis.

Its intuitive design ensures ease of use for both experienced technicians and new users. The gauge features multiple measurement units (N, kg, lb) with easy conversion, robust data storage capabilities, and a serial output for data transfer. It also includes seven distinct test modes to streamline workflow and enhance measurement accuracy.

2. Informació de seguretat

Please read and understand all safety instructions before operating the GOYOJO Digital Force Gauge. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the device.

• Do not exceed the maximum load capacity: The gauge has a maximum load of 1000N (220LB/100KG). Applying force beyond this limit can damage the sensor and lead to inaccurate readings.
• Manipular amb cura: This is a precision instrument. Avoid dropping or subjecting it to severe impacts.
• Font d'alimentació: Use only the provided charger. The charger is compatible with 100V to 240V and includes short-circuit, leakage, and overload protection. Do not use damaged chargers or cables.
• Condicions ambientals: Operate the device within specified temperature and humidity ranges to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture, or corrosive environments.
• Sensor extern: Ensure the external sensor is securely connected to the main unit before applying any force.
• Muntatge: If mounting the device, use appropriate hardware and ensure it is stable and secure to prevent accidental detachment during operation.

4. Configuració

4.1 Càrrega del dispositiu

Before first use, fully charge the force gauge.

1. Connect the provided charger to the charging port on the side of the force gauge.
2. Plug the charger into a compatible power outlet (100V-240V).
3. L'indicador de la bateria a la pantalla mostrarà l'estat de càrrega. Carregueu fins que l'indicador mostri una càrrega completa.

4.2 Connecting the External Sensor

The external sensor is crucial for accurate force measurement.

1. Locate the sensor input port on the top of the main force gauge unit.
2. Align the connector of the external sensor cable with the port and gently push it in.
3. Twist the locking ring on the sensor connector clockwise to secure it firmly.
4. Attach the appropriate compression or tension fixtures to the external sensor as required for your testing application. The kit includes various fixtures for versatile use.

4.3 Mounting the Force Gauge (Optional)

The force gauge unit has threaded inserts on the back for mounting to a test stand or fixture.

• Use the provided mounting screws or compatible hardware to secure the gauge.
• Ensure the mounting surface is stable and capable of supporting the gauge and any applied forces.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1 Encès/Apagat

• Premeu el botó ON button to power on the device. The display will illuminate.
• Premeu el botó OFF botó per apagar el dispositiu.

5.2 Conversió d'unitats

The gauge supports three measurement units: Newtons (N), Kilograms (kg), and Pounds (lb).

• Premeu el botó UNITAT button to cycle through the available units (N → kg → lb → N).

Figure 5.1: Switching between Newton, Kilogram, and Pound units.

5.3 Rotació de la pantalla

The display can be rotated for convenient viewing in different orientations.

• Premeu el botó GIRAR button to flip the display 180 degrees.

5.4 Zeroing the Gauge

Before each measurement, ensure the gauge is zeroed to eliminate any residual force or offset.

• With no load applied to the sensor, press the ZERO button. The display should show "0.00".

5.5 Modes de prova

The force gauge offers seven distinct test modes to suit various measurement needs.

• Standard Test Mode: Displays real-time load values.
• Push-Pull Peak Mode: Records the maximum force applied in both push and pull directions.
• Push Peak Mode: Records the maximum compressive force.
• Pull Peak Mode: Records the maximum tensile force.
• External Node Break Mode: For specific applications requiring detection of a break point.
• External Node Make Mode: For specific applications requiring detection of a connection point.
• First Peak Mode: Captures the initial peak force before a potential drop.

To switch between modes, refer to the detailed instructions in the included paper manual.

Mode Peak Hold

In Peak Hold mode, the device displays the maximum measurement (whether tension or compression) during testing. Manual resetting to zero is required.

Figure 5.2: Peak Hold Mode displaying maximum force.

Auto Peak Mode

In Auto Peak mode, the device displays the maximum measurement (tension or compression) and automatically resets to zero after being displayed for 2 seconds, allowing for the next test.

Figure 5.3: Auto Peak Mode with automatic reset.

Mode en temps real

In Real-Time mode, the device continuously shows the current load value. The measurement value changes dynamically according to the load variation.
