Page 29: One Way Mode
5.7.2. ONE WAY Mode The test ends when the Main-Shaft rotates in a single direction and the set Torque reached, or when rotates to the set angle. The test ends when the Torque decreases after exceeding the set torque and then drops below. Useful for the Plug Opening Tests, etc. - Page 30 ≪ ≪ Rotating Motion≫ ≫ The operation completed when the Shaft rotates at FORWARD SPEED and the set angle rotates at FORWARD SPEED and the set angle rotated or the comparator signal of the Torque Tester changes from OK to -NG or +NG. Regardless of the COUNTER setting, the operation completes only once.
