4. MEASURING PROCEDURE
4-1 Pay attentions for the measurement
1)When make the fruit hardness testing, it always use
compression function, the display will show the '" - "
mark automatically.
Remark :
The meter can use the " Tension " measurement,
however for the fruit hardness measurement is not
use this function typically.
2)Pressure head and fruits should be vertical surface.
When make the measurement, the Sensing Head
along the tip should be on a line with measuring fruits
( ref. Fig. 2 )
Fig. 2
5
3)Rotate the Sensing Head is prohibited. Some certain
angles between Sensing Head & measuring object
are not allowed ( ref. Fig. 3 ).
Fig. 3
4-2 Normal Measurement
1)Slide the " Power Off/On/Peak Hold Switch " ( 3-8, Fig. 1 )
to the " On " position.
0 = Off, 1 = On
2)Determine display unit of g, oz or Newton by selecting
" Kg/Newton/LB Unit Switch " ( 3-7, Fig. 1 ).
3)Connect " Sensing Head " ( 3-1, Fig. 1 ) with proper "
Adapter " ( 3-11 to 3-14, Fig. 1 ) and the " Measuring
Object " should be in straight line. Don't give any force in
standby mode..
4)" Zero Adjust " by pushing " Zero Button "
( 3-6, Fig. 1 ) before every measurement.
5)Start measurement by giving force (push or pull), then the
LCD will display the Average reading value.
*
During the measurement, if intend to change
the display direction, just push the " Reverse
Button " ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) once.
6
*There are two kind sampling time of display, FAST
and SLOW. Push the " FAST/SLOW Button " once
( 3-4, Fig. 1 ), if the upper left corner of LCD show
" FAST " ( Fast Indicator, 3-3, Fig. 1 ), then the
display reading is under the operation of fast
sampling time.
*If the upper left corner of LCD not show the
" Fast Indicator " ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ), the display
reading is under the slow sampling time.
*Over range display of tension function, LCD
will show " "
*Over range display of compression function, LCD
will show " "
4-3 Peak Hold Measurement
The meter can measure the peak value of force both of
tension & compression operation. The operation
procedures of Peak Hold Measurement are same as above "
4-2 Normal Measurement " but should slide the " Power
Off/On/Peak Hold Switch " ( 3-8, Fig. 1 ) to the " PEAK H. "
position.
Slide the " Power Off/On/Peak Hold Switch " ( 3-8, Fig. 1 )
to the " On " position will cancel the peak hold function.
4-4 LCD Back Light On/Off
During the measurement, press and hold ( > 2 seconds )
the " Button " ( 3-15, Fig. 1 ) until LCD Back Light
is ON, then it will be off after a period time.
several seconds then off automatically

5. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
1)When the LCD shows " Lo ", it is necessary to replace
the batteries. However, in-spec. measurement may
still be made for several hours after low battery
indicator appears before the instrument become
inaccurate.
2)Take out the battery cover ( 3-10, Fig. 1 ) away from the
instrument and remove the batteries.
3)Install the batteries ( 6 x 1.5 V AA, UM-3 ) correctly
into the battery case.
6. RS232 PC SERIAL INTERFACE
The instrument features an RS232 output via 3.5 mm
Terminal ( 3-17, Fig. 1 ).
The connector output is a 16 digit data stream which can
be utilized to the user's specific application.
An RS232 lead with the following connection will be
required to link the instrument with the PC serial input.
