INSTALLING ACCESSORIES

Double and Single Handles

Attach the force gauge to the double handle grip (AC1003) or single handle grip (AC1003-1) by mating the male dowel pin in the cradle to the corresponding hole in the rear of the force gauge housing.

Then, fasten the gauge to the cradle with four included thumb screws (10-1023), as shown at left.

Double and Single Handles

Attachments

Ergonomics attachments G1019, G1020, G1021, G1029, G1036, and G1112 thread onto the load cell shaft of the Series 3 force gauge.

Fasten the attachment onto the shaft, as shown at left.
Do not overtighten the attachment, or load cell damage can occur!

The attachments may freely rotate on the shaft, thereby self-adjusting to the shape of an object. However, if a fixed position is desired, use an included jam nut, as follows:

Attachments Induction

Rotate the jam nut as high as possible up the load cell shaft.
Rotate the attachment up to the jam nut, then back off until the desired position.
Tighten the nut against the attachment.
Friction between the nut and attachment body will prevent the attachment from loosening as shown at left.
