The values which are to be transmitted to a peripheral
device when using the TXD key on a dual max screen must
now be selected. The following display will appear.
TX 1st PEAK Sets the Tornado to transmit the slip
torque (1st peak) only.
TX 2nd PEAK Sets the Tornado to transmit the bridge
torque (2nd peak) only.
TX BOTH Sets the Tornado to transmit both the
slip torque (1st peak) and the bridge
torque (2nd peak).
Use the UP and DOWN keys to move the arrow cursor to
the desired selection and press ENTER.
The display will return to the % TAMP EV sub-menu 1.
Press ESC to return to the main menu page 1, and again to
return to the main display.
When the % TAMP EV function has been enabled, pressing
the MAX key will scroll through the following max display
modes, in order:
1) 1st and 2nd clockwise peaks
2) 1st clockwise peak only
3) 1st and 2nd counter-clockwise peaks (see Fig. 10).
4) 1st counter-clockwise peak only
5) Current 'live' reading
Mode 3) is required for measurement of tamper-evident
closure slip and bridge release torques.

Testing Hints:
Where possible, apply torque to
tamper evident closures in a
smooth single turn. This will ensure
that accurate peaks for both slip
torque (1st peak) and bridge torque
(2nd peak) are calculated.
When setting up the Tornado, a
graphical representation of the test
provides a clear insight into the %
drop factor required. Please contact
Mecmesin or your approved
supplier for details on DataPlot
graphical charting software.
