DFS II R ND Series Digital Force Gauges (Non-dedicated)

The DFS II R ND Series is a remote non-dedicated digital force gauge with an SLC load cell. When combining this digital force gauge with the STS Series of remote torque sensor, the digital force gauge becomes a torque measurement device offering the user the flexibility of having force and torque measurement in one single instrument.
DFS II R ND Series Digital Force Gauges
This digital force gauge allows the user to change the SLC load cells, adding the flexibility to use one base indicator and several load cells to meet different testing needs. It is ideal for performing tests in places where a handheld gauge would not fit.

The DFS II R ND is easy to use and designed for basic and complex applications. Ideal for handheld applications, the DFS II R ND may be equipped with integral load cells or a smart remote sensor for load measurement or torque measurement. Measurement accuracy is better than 0.1% full scale in integral load cell or dedicated remote models.

A large, easy-to-read, high resolution, full color dot matrix LCD display supports a variety of standard gauge functions including normal and peak readings, high/low limits, set points, pass/fail results, statistical results, load averaging, load comparisons, % and sharp break detection, load cell actuation, and direction.

The display can be inverted and displayed results may be “hidden” from the operator.

DFS II R Series Key Features:
- Simple user interface
- Selectable units of measurement (ozf, gf, lbf, kgf and N)
- Selectable password protection for gauge set ups

The easy-to-use ForceTest software comes FREE OF CHARGE when buying a DF II Series digital force gauge.

Added Features: 1) User interface improvements, including a test creation wizard, redesigned menus to provide more chart space, and theme options, 2) Added the ability to add annotations to the chart on a per-test run or test basis, 3) Added the ability to modify the charts line formatting, 4) New templates have been added as well as a report designer feature, 5) Improved performance when opening or calculating test results, 6) Added a new documentation site at https://docs.forcetest.cloud. Fixed: 1) Various usability improvements.
      • ForceTest Software Version 1.1.1 19-Nov-19. The DF I and II Series force gauges can be configured to have different polarities for tension and compression. ForceTest will always display and graph the reading from the DF I or II Series gauge as is. To change the polarity of the live readings and graph values in ForceTest, the polarity of the gauge must be switched. Added Features: 1) DF II Series USB drivers are now installed silently. Fixed: 1) Now connects to DF I Series Force Gauges. This fixes a regression in ForceTest 1.1.0, 2) Now connects to DF II Series Force Gauges running versions 1.03 and earlier firmware. This fixes a regression in ForceTest 1.1.0, 3) TCM USB Drivers are now included in the ForecTest 1.1.1 installer. .
      • ForceTest Software Version 1.1.0 10-Jul-19. The DF I and II Series force gauges can be configured to have different polarities for tension and compression. ForceTest will always display and graph the reading from the DF I or II Series gauge as is. To change the polarity of the live readings and graph values in ForceTest, the polarity of the gauge must be switched. Added Features: 1) Added support for a DF II Series gauge connected to a TCM, 2) Added support for stopping tests in ForceTest when a break is detected on a connected DF II Series Force Gauge (DFS II firmware 1.07 or newer). Fixed: 1) Exported readings are now exported in the user's defined unit instead of always in newtons, 2) Communication using the Hirose (RS-232) connector is now more reliable, 3) Improvements to result calculations.
      • ForceTest Software Version 1.0.2 07-Aug-18. Added Features: 1) Customize line color, 2) Warning message now alerts if the DF I or II Series gauge needs power cycling, 3) Live readings and graph values now match the polarity of the gauge. Fixed: 1) Standard Tests no longer disappear when connecting with a remote non-dedicated force gauge, 2) Zooming in during a live run has been improved, 3) Fixed the date and time data in the "Started On" column, 4) Fixed crashing issue when connecting via RS232, 5) Fixed crashing issue when test limits are sent from a gauge, 6) Statistics can be calculated for all or just selected tests, 7) Responses to PreTest Questions are now correctly displayed on reports.
      • ForceTest Software Version 1.0.1 12-Dec-17. Initial Release.
