The AHCTS Stand features include a LCD graphics display, battery powered for remote testing, and movable reaction devices for a variety of tools. There are a variety of reaction devices available contact us to ensure reaction devices are suitable for your specific tools.
OPERATION 3 OPERATION ISPLAY PERATION Button Function: 1: Turns the display On Zeros the Transducer Clears the reading in Peak and 1 Peak Mode 2: Turns the display Off 3: Programmable 'Soft Buttons'. Functionality varies with the current menu set and is shown on the bottom two lines of the display. Arrow buttons scroll through torque modes and engineering units.
OPERATION 4 ANEL NPUTS The back of the stand display unit contains various interface connections. (10-pin connector). Transducer Input To install or remove the cable simply push in or pull out. Do this by gripping the outer metal case of the cable and NEVER from the cord itself. THIS IS NOT A TWIST LOCK CABLE! IMPORTANT! REMOVE CABLE FOR SHIPPING &...

RUNDOWN FIXTURE 11 UNDOWN IXTURE AINTENANCE The test stands require very little maintenance; however, periodic lubrication of the rundown fixture is critical to the longevity of the tool and repeatability of tool testing. The rundown bolt and washers should be periodically removed and inspected, and if necessary, coated with a high pressure anti-seize lubricant.
DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS 12 DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS The following is a description of the standard features of the Auditor product line. PERATING ODES Peak, 1st Peak or Track will show on the display. Press the Œ key to toggle them. Peak Recommended operating mode for stall tools.
DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS 13 When all the 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 IMIT Use the high limit setting to visually flag the operator when a reading falls over a desired maximum value.
