(2-5) Sign Lock 

The 

SIGN  LOCK

  feature  allows  the  user 

to  select  the  rotation  direction  in  which  a 
torque  peak  will  be  captured.  With 

SIGN 

LOCK

  set  to 

ON

,  the  initial first  rundown 

direction is set as the default direction.  
 
If  the  initial  rundown  was  performed  in  a 
clockwise  direction  a  positive  reading 
indicates a reading taken in the clockwise 
direction  while  a  negative  torque  value 
indicates  a  reading  taken  in  the  counter-
clockwise direction. If the initial rundown is 
taken in a counter clockwise manner, then 
the  opposite  will  hold  true.  Any  readings 
taken in the non-selected direction will be 
measured, but not captured / displayed as 
a peak value. 
 
With 

SIGN  LOCK

  turned 

OFF

,  peak 

values in both the clockwise and counter-
clockwise  directions  will  be  captured  and 
displayed. 
  
Since 

most 

torque 

rundowns 

are 

conducted  and  readings  are  taken  in  the 
clockwise  direction,  the  user  may  find  it 
beneficial to turn this feature
