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.

Peak Blanking sets the minimum threshold at which a torque is captured as a 
peak.  Pressing the + and - buttons will toggle this from 2% through 50% of 
Full Scale. 
Pressing the ENT button will accept this value and return to the Run Mode.

This screen shows the Full-Scale value of the Torque Shaft.  This is not a field 
adjustable value.

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
