3 Important information before use
•Wear protective mask and gloves.
•Do not use damaged or bent fixtures.
•If “Err-1” appears on the LCD, it indicates that the test load the sensor measures is 110
% larger than the rated load. Decrease the load immediately. Make sure the load
applied is smaller than 105 % the rated load after the meter is restarted.
•Make sure the force gauge is not overloaded. Overload may damage the sensor.
•Do not use sharp tools to press buttons.
•Keep the meter away from liquids and store it in a cool, dry place and away from
sources of vibration.
•Only use the charger delivered with the force gauge for charging.
•Connect the meter to the computer in line with the instructions to avoid problems.
•Only connect the charger to an intact socket as damaged sockets can cause fire.
•Make sure the charger is securely inserted into a socket if the product needs to be
charged. Looseness may cause short circuit, resulting in electric shock or fire.
•Remove the charger after charging to avoid accidents.
•Do not touch the power adaptor with wet hands.
•Do not bend or twist the test head. A measurement may only be made perpendicularly
to the meter.

4 Introduction
The penetrometer PCE-PTR 200N is a practical handheld meter to check the degree of
ripeness of different types of fruit. This penetrometer is more accurate than most other models.
The penetrometer will provide some valuable information about the ideal harvest time. The
meter will also help monitoring the quality during storage, transport and sales. The penetrometer
is equipped with an internal load cell controlled by a microprocessor. This microprocessor
makes a quick and accurate readout possible. The meter has a mounting fixture for a test stand.
This reduces possible user error to a minimum and makes series of measurements possible.
