DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS 
 
OPERATING MODES 
Peak, 1st Peak or Track will show on the display.  Press the Πkey to toggle them. 
 
Peak 
Recommended operating mode for stall tools. 
Displays and retains the maximum torque exerted by the tool, as occurs when operating 
the wrench in the tightening direction.  The Peak Mode is used for all power tools and dial 
wrenches. 
 
1st Peak 
Detects the “first peak” of torque exerted by the tool, capturing the initial torque as occurs 
when the torque wrench cams over.  First Peak is used primarily for Click Torque 
Wrenches and cam over screwdrivers. 
 
Track 
Displays torque as it is being applied to the transducer.  Track mode is used primarily for 
verifying calibration of the unit. 
 
E
NGINEERING UNITS 
Shows the current engineering units.  Press the  key  to  cycle  through  the  eight 
possible choices: Kgf m, KgfCm, gfCm, cNm, Nm, FT LB, IN LB, IN OZ. 
 
FULL SCALE 
Shows the Full-Scale value of the Torque Shaft.  This is not an adjustable value. 
 
LOW LIMIT 
Use the Low Limit setting to visually flag the operator when a reading fails to reach a 
desired minimum value. A small down arrow will appear on the screen if 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. 
 
When all digits have been set, press the MEM key to accept the value and return to 
Program Function mode.  Upon the next reading, LO will appear on the display if the 
captured value is less than the low limit

falls within the limit setting.
