Chatillon® DFX Series
Digital Force Gauge
The CHATILLON® DFXSeries is an economical digital force gauge ideal for applicationswhere users are interested in basic peak force measurement. The DFXis available in four capacities (10lbf, 50 lbf, 100 lbf, 200 lbf)and features an integral loadcell with a measurement accuracy ofbetter than 0.5% full scale. The DFX Series operates using two (2)9Vdc alkaline batteries or using the standard battery eliminator.The battery eliminator is supplied with a US, UK and EURO styleplug. Under battery operation, the DFX Series will operate for over120 hours of continuous use. A large, easy-to-read, high resolutiondot matrix LCD display supports a variety of standard gaugefunctions including normal and peak readings.. Loads are displayedin ozf, gf, lbf, kgf and N units. The display language may be setupto indicate in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese andChinese. The DFX Series’ calibration procedure in included in thegauge’s setup.
