The Sign Lock feature allows the user to select the torque direction of the peak to
be captured. With Sign Lock: ON, the initial direction or sign is the default
direction. Any peak measured in the non-selected direction will be measured, but
not captured as a peak. To reset the sign, either cycle the power or zero the unit.
With Sign Lock: OFF, the tester will capture both CW and CCW torque.

Use the low limit setting as a means of visually flagging the operator when a
reading fails to reach a desired minimum value. A small down arrow will
appear on the screen is a peak is captured below the limit setting.
The limit is adjusted by using the navigation buttons to set the first four digits
to the desired value. The fifth digit is used to select the decimal point
position. The up and down buttons under the “Soft” button Change will
change the value from 0-9. Pressing the “soft” DIG will scroll through the digit
positions. When the correct value is entered, pressing the ENT button will
return you to the menu system.
Once all the digits have been set, press the
MEM
key to accept the value and
return to Program Function mode. The next time a reading is taken, "LO" will
appear on the display if the captured value is less than the low limit
