MODE OF OPERATION
To change the mode of operation:
1. Press the Mode key.
2. Press the Scroll Up key until the mode arrow points to the desired mode of operation:
a) Track Mode: The display “tracks” the applied torque in clockwise and counterclockwise directions.
There is a real time torque feature that is available only in Track mode. This feature outputs read-
ings to the RS232 port at a rate of 4 times per second. To enable this feature, press Tolerance and
Scroll Right Simultaneously. You see the Firmware Revision. Press Units. The unit goes back to
reading screen and outputs torque reading at the rate of 4 times per second. Pressing the Enter
key will disable this feature.
b) Peak Mode: The display holds the highest peak torque applied.
c) Power Tool Mode: Used for measuring torque with power tools such as nutrunners and impulse
tools. Always use a quality joint rate simulator (run down adapter) when testing power tools in a
simulated application.
If you do not use a joint rate simulator, damage to the transducer and or errat-
ic readings might occur.
d) First Peak Mode: The display holds the first peak torque
applied and disregards any further input. This function is
primarily used for testing and calibrating click type mechani-
cal torque wrenches by hand (without a calibration loading
bench).
The TorqueMate® Plus captures the point the wrench clicks, and disregards any further input from
the operator. Second peak, if any is shown in the window on the display.
e) Angle Mode: Combined with a transducer with angle encoder, the TorqueMate® Plus measures
the angle of rotation of a fastener (with high and low angle tolerance) after a programmed thresh-
old torque has been reached. This feature is used when an angle is specified rather than a final
torque. Joint rate and breakaway torque can also be measured. (See application notes.)
3. Press the Enter key to accept the new mode of operation.
Examples of Mode Applications
Track Mode: Use for reading, running or varying torque on motors and machinery. Use for calibrating
Dial type wrenches on a calibration loading bench.
Peak Mode: Use for calibrating any hand type torque (dial, beam, screwdriver) wrench except hand
testing of clicker type wrenches. Use Peak Mode with the Go/No Go feature. Not for use with power
tools.
Power Tool Mode: Use Power Tool Mode whenever testing dynamic tools such as nutrunners, electric
screwdrivers and impulse tools.
First Peak Mode: Designed exclusively for manually calibrating clicker type torque wrenches (by hand).
Reads the point at which the wrench “clicks” (first peak), and the point when the operator stopped apply-
ing torque (second peak). Also good for operator training. Apply torque smoothly to avoid false first peak
readings.
Angle Mode: Use Angle Mode to apply a specified angle to a fastener after reaching a threshold torque.
Also used to verify break away torque of a fastener and to determine the joint rate of a fastener
(see page 12 and applications notes for detailed information on Angle mode usage).
