(2-1) Auto Clear
The
Auto Clear
function determines the
length of time, in seconds, that a torque
reading will display on the screen after a
peak value is captured. If
MEMORY
MODE
is active, than the
Auto Clear
setting also determines the length of time
after a rundown is conducted before the
associated torque reading is entered into
memory.
The values available to the operator are
1
– 9
seconds and
OFF
. When
Auto Clear
is set to
OFF
, the user must manually
clear the value from the screen or enter
the value into memory.
If
Auto Clear
is turned on,
A/C
will be
displayed on the Main Display Screen.
Setting Auto Clear
1. From the main display press
MENU.
2. Press the
Right Selection
Button
to

Auto Clear
time from
9
seconds to
OFF
. Use the
Right
Selection
button to increase the
Auto
Clear
time from

seconds.
Either button, when continuously
pressed, will advance the value in a

twice will
return to the Main Display Screen at the
previously set
Operating Mode.
(2-2) Filter
The
FILTER
is a setting used to “screen
out” unwanted signals produced by hand
and power tools and which can adversely
affect the torque values generated by a
transducer. The
FILTER
of the
AUET
can
be programmed in order to best match the
type of tool being used and to provide the
most reliable readings. The values are
shown in values from 125
– 2000 Hertz
(Hz). A general starting point for
programming is 500 Hz for most, but more
consistent values may be obtained with
other settings, depending on tool design,
joint characteristics and other factors.
Setting the Filter Value
1. From the main display press
MENU.
2. Press the
Right Selection
button to
select
(SEL) PEAK
OPTIONS MENU.
3. Use the
SELECTION ARROW
buttons
to select
FILTER.
4. Use the
Left Selection button (-)
to
decrease the
FILTER
value. Use the
Right Selection
button to increase
(+)
the
FILTER
value. Either button, when
continuously pressed, will advance the
value in a loop.
5. When the desired value is selected,
press
ENTER
to save and progress to
the next
MENU
level.
At any
Menu
level, pressing
ENT
twice will
return to the Main Display Screen at the
previously set
Operating Mode.
(2-3) Peak Blanking
PEAK
BLANKING
determines
the
minimum threshold at which a torque peak
is captured. It is entered as a percentage
of the full scale value of the transducer
contained in the
AUET
and can be
displayed in values from 2
– 50% of
transducer full scale. Accurately setting
the
PEAK BLANKING
value can help
prevent invalid torque readings and can
enable the user to avoid taking readings
related to high prevailing torque in an
application.
Setting the Peak Blanking Value
1. From the main display press
MENU
2. Press the
Right Selection
button to
select
PEAK OPTIONS MENU.
3. Use the
SELECTION ARROW
buttons
to select
PEAK BLANKING.
4. Use the
Left Selection button
to
decrease
(-)
the
PEAK BLANKING
value. Use the
Right Selection
button
to increase
(+)
the
PEAK BLANKING
value. Either button, when continu-
ously pressed, will advance the value
in a loop.
