When applying clockwise torque, the indicator bar begins
solid in appearance, then becomes striped when the
capacity is approached. When applying counter-clockwise
torque, the indicator bar begins striped, then becomes solid
(see Fig. 4b & 4c).
During operation of the Tornado it is sometimes necessary
to zero the display - e.g. when you wish to tare out a
displayed torque applied by the sample, so it does not
become part of the measured reading. Press and release the
ZERO
key.
You can choose from the following units of measurement
depending on the capacity of your Tornado: N.m, N.cm,
mN.m, gf.cm, kgf.cm, kgf.m, lbf.ft, lbf.in, ozf.in.
To change the display units press and release the
UNITS
key. Each successive key press will select the next available
units until the Tornado returns to its original setting.
The Tornado automatically converts readings as new units
of measure are selected.
The Tornado detects and stores maximum (peak) torque in
both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions.
Note: the following max display modes do not apply when
the % TAMP EV function is enabled. See page 19 for
alternative modes.
Press the
MAX
key. The display will show the word
MAX
together with the highest counter-clockwise torque and the
highest clockwise torque detected during the test. The
current load being applied to the torque sensor is also
displayed - see Fig. 4a.
