9.0 O PERATION
Place the sample between the posts or jaws of
the tester, and tighten,using the knob. Posts can
be placed in any of the holes on the sliders.
Ensure that the sample is gripped firmly,
however, excessively tightening thin- walled
closures may result in sample deformation,
possibly affecting test results. When the sample
is secured, gradually exert torque by hand.
NOTE: Sudden torque application may produce
incorrect readings.
The default mode of operation is the
normal (real time) mode.
If the peak readings are to be observed as they occur,
then the mode of operation can be changed by press-
ing PEAK until the desired mode (CW PEAK or
CCW PEAK) appears on the display.
This action affects only the display. The peak
readings are captured automatically and can be
recalled by pressing PEAK. The peak readings
may be cleared from the memory by either pressing
ZERO or shutting off power
9.1 Changing Operating Modes and Measuring Units
The displayed units of measurement and the default mode of operation
(peak or normal) can be changed by entering the setup mode as described in
section 6.0, pressing POWER at the init prompt and selecting the desired
settings using the PEAK and the POWER keys.
9.2 Auto Shut-off
The CAP-T is equipped with an automatic shutdown feature and it will shut
off after approximately 30 minutes of inactivity (readings do not change by
more than ±10 counts and no keys are pressed). The entire display will flash
for 5-7 seconds as a warning of the imminent shutdown.
To change the default setting of 30 minutes, hold PEAK while turning on
the gauge. Press PEAK repeatedly until 'AOFF' appears. Press POWER to
select this function. The current setting will flash on the display. Use PEAK
to scroll through the displayed choices and POWER to select.
