Features

Measurement accuracy is better than 0.1% full scale in integral load cell models. A large, easy-to-read, high resolution, full colour LCD display supports a variety of standard gauge functions including normal and peak readings, high/low limits, setpoints, pass/fail results, statistical results, load averaging, % and sharp break detection, loadcell actuation and direction. Loads are displayed in ozf, gf, lbf, kgf and N units. The display can be inverted and displayed results may be “hidden” from the operator. The DFS3 also offers password protection for gauge set ups.

• Measured Result with Units:
  • Peak Tension and Compression.
  • Break Tension and Compression.
  • Load Average/Time.
• Operating Mode.
• Pass-Fail Result.
• High and Low Load Results.
• Saved Results.
• Statistical Calculations:
  • Average with MIN and MAX Results.
  • Cv with Average and Standard Deviation.
  • Standard Deviation.
  • Graphical representation of saved results.

Outputs The DFS3 Series comes standard with a USB-C connection. The USB interface allows communications with a PC.

Calibrate and Verify Status The DFS3 Series incorporates flash memory. You have immediate access to battery conditions, including estimated battery life remaining. You can also view loadcell status, including the number of overloads that have been applied to the gauge

Time Method The Time method allows you to establish your load averaging based on a load threshold and time duration. The load threshold determines the start of the averaging, while the time duration defines the length of the test period. The gauge will begin taking readings when the threshold is reached and will continue to take and average readings until the time duration has expired.

Battery Life The extraordinarily long battery life of the DFS3 reduces the need for continuous recharging. The dimming functionality of the DFS3 provides a battery life of 30 hours when the dimming is off while turning the dimming on will provide a full 40 hours of battery life.

Functions and Features

Unique User Interface Easy to use, single layer user interface. No deep menu structure! Operate and set-up the DFS3 to perform your tasks. Fast and intuitive! The high resolution display features brightness adjustments and can be inverted when required. The display can even be “hidden” at the press of a button. A load bar graph indicating load direction, measured load, and safe load helps prevent overloads: the load bar changes from green to red to indicate proximity to load cell capacity. The integral loadcells feature mechanical overload protection at 150% Full Scale.

Dependable Measurements The DFS3 Series features an integral loadcell sensor that delivers repeatable, accurate results. The innovative load bargraph shows dynamic load, direction of load and warns you of pending overload conditions. Smart technology in the gauge even keeps track of overload history to aide in maintenance and troubleshooting.

Automate with ForceTest (Free with your Chatillon DFE3)

• Expand Functionality - The ForceTest software expands the functionality of your Chatillon DFE3 force gauge. This easy-to-use Windows based software interfaces directly to your digital force gauge enabling you to automatically perform tests and graphs using a personal computer. Test results can be followed directly on the screen while the test is running.
• Intuitive User Interface - The colourful and intuitive user interface ensures that tests are simple to set up. Custom chart colours can be set for easy viewing. Units of measure, fonts, titles and force measurement resolution can also be customized through the ForceTest software.
• Easy Export and Reporting - Test results are presented in a spreadsheet format allowing you to analyze and manipulate data and perform common mathematical and statistical calculations. Results may be displayed graphically versus time. Tabular results are displayed and can be used to create relationships, queries or used to produce reports. Test results can be exported to a .csv format. Graphs and test results can also be exported directly to PDF and Word formats.
• Wide Variety of Options - Force at maximum in a time window, average force and much more can be captured using the ForceTest software. Basic force measurement such as tensile and compression test formats, pull to limit, and compress to limit are performed by clicking just a few buttons.
• Reduce Setup Time - To reduce setup time the ForceTest software offers pre-set templates. It also empowers its user to auto load the latest test performed, and to open previously saved tests for use as template for new tests.

Accessories

Supplied Ready-To-Go Regardless of the configuration, your DFE3 is supplied ready-to-go. The gauge and accessories are supplied in a durable carrying case that is designed for all components including adapters and a USB charger. The units are powered by an internal, rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. The compliment of adapters is comprehensive and includes a hook, compression tip, pointed tip, chisel tip, and a notch tip: everything you need to get started.

AFM & AQM

Up to two external sensors can be connected in the DFS3 force gauges. Together with the internal sensor., the full set-up provides a 3-in-1 device. The force gauge shows the results from one sensor at a time, so that there is no doubt as to which sensor the results come from.

It is easy to connect the two external sensors - they both have an ADC inline box, which ensures a stable digital signal and enables the force gauge itself to identify them with a single click. The digital communication offers an improved accuracy and keeps the calibration information stored within the external device, meaning it can be used by other DFS3 gauges without affecting readings. This makes it plug-and-play.

• External loadcells AFM - Capacities from 0.5lbf to 1000lbf (2.5N to 5000N) Accuracy: 0.1% FS
• External Torque Transducers AQM - Capacities from 3in-lbf to 200in-lbf (0.35 Nm to 20 Nm) Accuracy: 0.3% FS

AFM & AQM with the DFS3

Unique User Interface The AFM and AQM sensors are automatically recognized by the DFS3 force gauge. The integrated electronics associated with the sensors contain all the calibration parameters necessary to guarantee the best measurement precision and metrological monitoring. In addition, potential overloads, dates, and values are also stored in memory and displayed.

Always up to speed With the DFS3 you are always sure to have the latest firmware on your device. Our cloud-based software AMETEK Device Agent helps you identify the latest firmware and get it updated in only 60 sec.

Versatility and Flexibility All the DFS3s have an internal Loadcell and TWO external transducer inputs. A Test Station could be configured and set up with 3 transducers.
The DFS3 manages and interfaces with one sensor at a time. With FIVE Test Setups available, you can pre-configure your tests with the required transducer. This simplifies and improves the quality and reliability of your measurements. Fast and intuitive!
