Chatillon® DFE II Digital Force Gauge

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Chatillon DFE II Series is a digital force gauge designed for economical applications without sacrificing functionality. It is suitable for handheld or test stand applications and offers capacities ranging from 2 lbf (10 N) to 500 lbf (2500 N). The gauge features an integral load cell with an accuracy better than 0.25% full scale and a high-resolution color LCD display.
Specifications: The DFE II Series provides a measurement accuracy of +0.25% of full scale, with a maximum overload capacity of 150% of the rated capacity. It has a resolution of 1000:1, a peak capture rate of 7000 Hz, and a data sampling rate of 7 KHz. The display updates at 10 Hz and can save up to 20 results. The device operates on a Nickel Metal Hydride battery or direct AC power, with a battery life of 20 hours with dimming on and 16 hours with dimming off. Operating temperature ranges from 40°F to 110°F (5°C to 45°C).
Features: The DFE II Series includes multiple operating modes (Normal and Peak) and advanced functions such as load limits, pass/fail limits, and embedded SPC (Statistical Process Control). It supports multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Chinese. The gauge comes with a carrying case, battery adapter/charger, testing accessories, RS232 cable, and a NIST Certificate of Calibration.
Display and Interface: The gauge features a large, easy-to-read full-color LCD that can display readings, icons, and gauge status. The display can be inverted and hidden as needed. A load bargraph indicates load direction and proximity to capacity, changing color to prevent overloads. The interface includes a rubber keypad with dedicated function keys and a navigation pod for menu navigation.
Outputs and Compatibility: The DFE II Series supports digital and analog outputs, including RS232 and USB communications. It is compatible with Chatillon test stands and Mitutoyo devices. The gauge includes protocols for various devices and an alternate protocol for flexibility.
Calibration and Maintenance: The gauge incorporates flash memory and self-diagnostic functions for monitoring display, keypad, and electronics. It provides immediate access to battery conditions and loadcell status, including overload history. A built-in calibration procedure allows for easy calibration with certified standards.
Ordering Information: The DFE II Series is available in various models with different capacities and resolutions. Accessories include chisel points, point adapters, notch adapters, flat adapters, hooks, extension rods, battery chargers, carrying cases, and more.
