Selecting the Proper OPERATING MODE
While in the Main Display screen, press
the
Selection Arrow-Down
button to
cycle through the available Operating
Mode choices. The choices will be
displayed in the following order:
Selecting the Proper DATA MODE
The
AUET
contains two
Data Modes
.
RUN
and
MEMORY
.
RUN
mode simply allows the tester to
display Torque data from the driving
source immediately after rundown is
complete. Data will be displayed on the
screen until manually cleared or until
preset Auto Clear time has elapsed. No
values are stored while in RUN mode.
MEMORY
mode displays the Torque data
from the run and stores it sequentially in
the internal memory of the tester. The
memory location is displayed in the upper
left corner of the tester screen. When
entering
MEMORY
mode, the
UP
arrow
key must be pressed to reach the first
open memory location (ie. 001). If values
have already been stored in the tester
memory, the up arrow will need to be
pressed until the next open memory
location is reached (if 12 values are
stored, then the
UP
arrow would need to
be pressed until the memory location
display reads 013). If it is desired to return
to the
RUN
mode (no storage), the
DOWN
arrow should be pressed repeatedly until
the memory location indicator goes to 000
and disappears. Pressing the
MEM
menu
key will then return the unit to
RUN
mode
Setting ENGINEERING UNITS
The
AUE/MTM-DC
must be in
RUN
MODE
in
order
to
change
the
Engineering Units.
If torque values have
been stored in the
AUET/MTM-DC
while
in
MEMORY MODE
, then the memory
must be cleared in order to change the
Engineering Units.
While in the Main Display screen, press
the
Selection Arrow-Up
button to cycle
through the available Engineering Unit
choices. The choices will be displayed in
the following order:
Using the AUET in RUN MODE
RUN MODE
can be used to quickly and
easily take torque readings using a variety
of tools in situations where storage of data
and statistical feedback is not necessary.
With the
AUET
turned
ON
, observe the
Data Storage Mode Status field
(Figure 1).
If
RUN
is displayed, the
AUET
is in
RUN
MODE
and can then be configured
accordingly. If the status reads
MEM
, then
the
AUET
is in
MEMORY MODE
.
Install the supplied driving bit into the
Torque applying device to be tested.
Engage the driving bit into the Hex screw
in the supplied joint simulator and run the
torque applying device per its instructions.
The Main Display Screen will show the
Torque value received by the built in
transducer.
