2.7 Average Function
The average function allows the operator to combine multiple tension measurements and displays the average in the
secondary (top) display area.
The following procedures assume that the F-Keys are still programmed to the default settings with set to

and set to

. See Section 3.3 on page 7 to program the F-Keys.
2.7.1 Average Procedure
Follow this procedure to utilize the average function:
1. Press until Avg displays to the right side of the secondary display area.
2. Position the Dyna-Clamp on the wire rope and allow a few seconds for a stable reading.
3. Press
. This takes the current display value to be included into the running average.
4. Remove the Dyna-Clamp from the wire rope. Additional values can not be added to the running average until the
Dyna-Clamp has been removed from the wire rope and the live tension reading passes below a low % of capacity.
This is by design to prevent averaging the same load more than once.
5. Repeat Steps 2-4 as needed.
2.7.2 Clearing Average
Follow this procedure when the running average needs to be cleared:
1. Position the Dyna-Clamp on the wire rope and tighten slightly, so a little positive tension is measured by the device.
2. Press
, followed quickly with pressing to clear the current average register.
3. Remove the Dyna-Clamp from the wire rope and re-zero ( Section 2.5 on page 4 ).
2.8 Peak Function
The purpose of the peak function is to take and record the greatest tension that is applied. Press the

F-Key until Peak
displays to the right side of the secondary display area. As long as Peak is displayed, the secondary display area continuously
displays the greatest tension that has been measured.
2.8.1 Clearing Peak
Press (

by default) with the peak value displaying in the secondary display area to reset the peak function.
Changing from one wire rope setting to another will automatically clear both the average and peak values.
2.9 Safety Strap
The Dyna-Clamp has a slot and hole on either side of the display to accommodate the attachment of a safety strap.
2.10 Carry Case Option
A hard-sided carry case (PN 198418) is available as an option to provide more protection and security when transporting the
Dyna-Clamp tension meter.
