Selecting Measuring Modes
Press ON/OFF to turn on. Hold CLR/PRG for more than 4 seconds. Display cycles GO, PP, PD or C. Select the
desired measuring mode, which becomes the default mode. Press CLR/PRG to display the measuring mode.
GO (Real Time) display torque transient (no output).
PP (Peak) Capture peak torque (peak data output).
PD (Peak Down) Capture peak down value (peak data output).
C (continuous RS-232 output, 80 data/sec) Display torque transients.
Programming
(to exit programming at any time press OFF)
Press ON/OFF to turn on. Press CLR/PRG and UP switches simultaneously and hold for more than 4 seconds.
The Green LED lights and one beep sounds, “HI” is displayed and then the High setpoint value. This confirms
the tester is ready for the following programming steps.
1.
High Setpoint (HI)
After “HI” is displayed and then the High setpoint value. Press UP or DOWN switch to
select the High setpoint value i.e. 50.0 for 50.0 lb-in (for lb-in gauge), then press CLR/PRG to enter.
2.
Low Setpoint (LO)
After High value is entered, “LO” is displayed and then the Low setpoint value. Press
UP or DOWN switch to select the Low setpoint value, then press CLR/PRG to enter.
3.
Peak Down Minimum and Trigger Point (PdLO)
After Low value is entered, “PdLO” is displayed and then
the PdLO value. Press UP or DOWN switch to select, then press SET to enter.
PdLO sets a minimum
torque value for Peak Down mode. For example if “PdLO” value is set at 5.0 lb-in, only a reading over 5.0
lb-in will be measured in Peak Down mode.
PdLO also sets the start and stop trigger points for Continuous PdLO also sets the start and stop trigger
points for Continuous data output. When torque reaches the PdLO value, the gauge starts to output data
and stops if torque falls below the value.
4.
Batch Counter (CO)
After “PdLO” value is entered, “CO” is displayed and then the batch count number.
Press UP or DOWN switch to select (0-99), then press CLR/PRG to enter.
Batch counter retains the number
of properly torqued fasteners counted in memory even if the tester is turned OFF. Press and hold ON/OFF
for more than 1 second to reset.
5.
Beeper (bp)
After the batch count number is entered, “bp” is displayed and the display shows “On” for
beeper set ON, “Off” for beeper set OFF or “FF” for no beep unless over high setpoint. Press UP or DOWN
switch to select, then press CLR/PRG to enter.
6.
Auto Zero Reset (AC)
After Beeper selection is entered, “AC” is displayed and then Auto Zero Reset
duration value. Press UP or DOWN to select 0.0C - 0.5C - 1.0C - 1.5C - 2.0C - 2.5C - 3.0C, and press
CLR/PRG to enter (0.5C for 0.5 second and 0.0C for MANUAL RESET).
After measuring, Auto Zero
automatically resets the tester to “0.0”.
7.
Time (In)
After Auto Zero Reset is entered “In” is displayed and then the Time duration. Press UP or
DOWN switch to select Time (0 to 24 seconds), then press CLR/PRG to enter.
After “In” is entered, “S-“ is displayed to confirm programming completion and zero is shown.
After High and Low setpoints and batch counter are set, the tester counts the number of correctly torqued
fasteners (between High and Low setpoint). When completed, tester flashes the Green LED and beeps three
times. If the “Time” duration (“In” value) elapses before reaching the batch count number, the Red LED flashes
and beep sounds to alert to possible mis-tightening or stripped thread.
Storing and Recalling Data from Memory
Memory functions work in PP, PD and C modes. Store up to 300 values in memory. Values are simultaneously
output as RS-232 even after memory is full.
1. Measure in PP or PD mode, press CLR/PRG to store peak values. In C mode, the tester outputs data
continuously (80 data/sec).
2. To recall a value, press CLR/PRG, then press UP or DOWN to select a memory location (i.e. .0.0.1 for first
location). When CLR/PRG is released, display cycles three times between location and torque value and
then returns to measurement mode.
Note:
Selecting an invalid location, defaults to measurement mode.
