4.5.1 USING DFG FORCE GAGE The DFG can be used with the FMM test frame. The FMM test frame must be used in manual mode where you control the crosshead movement using the jog keys. The DFG serves as a digital indicator for the applied forces during the testing. The DFG can be connected to the FMM for automatic charging of the force gage battery, however, there is no communication or controls through the force gage. The DFG mounts to the FMM testers crosshead using the Force Gage Mounting Block (p/n SPK-FG-BLOCK). The block has an alignment pin that fits into the back of the force gage’s back housing. This ensures correct axial alignment for testing. Four M4 mounting screws are used to attach the force gage to the mounting block. The mounting block is then attached to the crosshead using six flat head screws on the crosshead.
4.5.2 USING DFC FORCE CONTROLLER The DFC can be used as a controller where the gage serves as the universal interface to the FMM tester. The DFC has a TESTS feature where you can setup automatic testing methods. The DFC lets you setup test limits for measuring the loads plus it can be used to specify the FMM tester speed and distance limits. The DFC mounts to the FMM testers crosshead using the Force Gage Mounting Block (p/n SPK-FG-BLOCK). The block has an alignment pin that fits into the back of the force gage’s back housing. This ensures correct axial alignment for testing. Four M4 mounting screws are used to attach the force gage to the mounting block. The mounting block is then attached to the crosshead using six flat head screws on the crosshead. NOTE It may be easier to remove the mounting block from the crosshead and then attaching the block to the force gage. Once this is done, attach the mounting block on the gage to the crosshead. The DFC communicates with the FMM tester using the optional L1- CONTROL cable.

DFG mounted to Crosshead using SPK-FG-BLOCK
Shown: SPK-FG-BLOCK threaded on to the back housing of the DFC or DFG force gage.
NOTE It may be easier to remove the mounting block from the crosshead and then attaching the block to the force gage. Once this is done, attach the mounting block on the gage to the crosshead. If you require load limit control, where the FMM will stop when a load setpoint is achieved, you should use either the DFC force controller or the L1 software.
