5.3:    Keys and Controls

There are also 2 arrow keys located on the right side of the 

Display. Both are used to scroll through the Display screen or 

change the setting. There are six (6) keys on the faceplate of 

the tester below the Display.
Their functions are as follows:

5.3.1 

Up Arrow: 

If memory is ‘on’: increments the records counter and shows the record 

stored in that location.

5.3.1.1 

Note: a ‘VR’ is displayed after the torque value to indicate you are viewing a record.

5.3.1.2 

Press the ‘Zero’ or ‘Clear’ key to return to normal operation.

5.3.2 

Down Arrow:

 If memory is ‘on’: decrements the records 

counter and shows the record stored in that location.

5.3.2.1 

Note: a ‘VR’ is displayed after the torque value to indicate 

you are viewing a historical test record.

5.3.2.2 

Press the ‘Zero’ or ‘Clear’ key to return to normal operation.

5.3.3 Zero: 

allows operator to remove any offset from the trans-

ducer.

5.3.3.1 

The ‘Zero’ key is used to reestablish the no-load zero point when either the direction 

of use has been changed or the mode of operation has been changed.

5.3.3.2 

Under no circumstances should the ‘Zero’ key be pressed when a load is applied 

to the drive hex (or drive square) of the tester. This button is not to be used to tare 

out torque values.

5.3.4 Clear: 

allows the clearing of a value on Display without saving or printing.

5.3.4.1 

Note: Exception, in ‘Track mode, this key will send the current torque record out the 

RS232 port.

5.3.5 Menu:

 enters and exits the menu used to enable or disable the memory function and 

print or clear on board torque data records.

5.3.5.1 

Using the ‘UP’ arrow key, the operator can enable memory.

5.3.5.2 

Pressing the ‘Zero’ button disables the memory.

5.3.5.3 

The down arrow indicates the self generating report, ‘upload’ of the records currently 

held in memory.

5.3.5.4 

The ‘Clear’ button enters into the memory clear process.
8.5.4.1   To confirm the clearing of memory, press the ‘UP’ arrow key.
8.5.4.2   To skip the memory clear process, press the ‘DOWN’ arrow key.

5.3.6 Units: 

used to enter/exit unit of measure change screen.

5.3.6.1 

Use the ‘UP’ arrow key to select the desired unit of measure.

5.3.6.2 

The Torq-Tronics 2 supports operation in English, S.I. and Metric units of Measure.

5.3.6.3 

Important note: 

Changing the unit of measure causes the test point to be reset to 

zero.  Please re-enter the new test point and check % of accuracy to continue testing 

with the new unit of measure. 

5.3.7 

Peak Torque: 

used to enter/exit change mode menu.

5.3.7.1   Use the ‘UP’ arrow key to select Track, Peak, Initial Peak, or Power Tool mode.
5.3.7.2   When Power Tool mode is selected, the ‘DOWN’ arrow key is used to select filter setting.
