PCE-FM1000 force meter
for measuring traction and compression up to 100kg / 981N,
 with dynamometric cell and    RS-232 interface

The PCE-FM1000 force meter is controlled by a microprocessor which can quickly and accurately read traction and compression. The display of the force meter is easy to read thanks to its large clear digits, thus avoiding errors when taking traction or compression readings. The force meter has a dynamometric casing with a 2m cable to connect the meter to the casing.
The dynamometric cell can be attached using clasps which come with the device. The clasps can be unscrewed and removed from both sides of the dynamometric cell in such a way that the cell can also be fastened to other elements such as a test position. The force meter is powered by batteries or by a mains adaptor (300mA power source is available as an accessory).
The force meter also has an RS-232 port allowing for it to be connected to a computer. With optional software and RS-232 cable, data can be transferred to a computer to permit data to be evaluated at a later point in time. The force meter transfers data at a rate of 4 readings per second. If data is saved simultaneously to a computer, this should be done through the Windows hyperterminal as a data logger. The data transfer rate to the computer is the same. Here you can see the optional software package. To learn more about the dynamometric cell go to LTS-20 test position. The test position is ideal for measuring traction and compression in quality control and laboratory experiments.

Data transfers to a computer, using the software, at a rate of one reading every 2 seconds.
The force meter can trasfer data at a quicker rate when transferring from memory to a computer, one reading every 0.25 seconds using Windows hyper terminal.

Optional accessories
  - Software and RS-232 cable to transmit data to
    a computer
  - LTS 20 manual test position (must be used with
    a mounting base)
  - Mounting base for the test position and cell
  - Mains adaptor: 230V / 50Hz

Optional software, in conjunction with an RS-232 cable, allows data to be transferred to a computer. The force meter transfers data at a rate of 4 readings per second. If data is saved simultaneously to a computer, this should be done through the Windows hyperterminal as a data logger. The data transfer rate to the computer is the same.

Test Position
The force meter can be combined with any of the three test positions we have available. Two test positions are equipped with a crank and the other one has a motor. The effective use of the test position is in daily testing of materials in a laboratory to maintain the same conditions, eliminating the possibility of human error.

The technical specifications for the different positions are available at this link: Test Positions.

Descriptions of test positions can be found within the corresponding on-line category: force meters.
