3.2.2.6. Unlocking operation modes, optional features
The sixth submenu may be used to unlock various operation modes, optional features and configure passwords,
when the password protection feature is enabled.
Like on any other screen, navigation is possible with the ENTER, ESC and ARROW buttons. The ENTER button
is used to get in the parameter change screen, and then it is used to accept the modified values. The numeric buttons
may be used for editing the various fields and the ARROW buttons may be used to navigate between the values on a
screen. The ESC button is used to jump from one screen to another.
All of our new models come with a 160 hours evaluation period. Within this period the customer may explore the most
common optional features of the torque tester. In the evaluation period the unlock submenu will not function, because
all of the features are allowed during this period. Trying to enter in the unlock submenu will show the remaining time
from the evaluation period.
When the evaluation period is expired the torque tester will notify the operator the next time he/she restarts the
PLC, and it will ask for a reset. Follow the instructions and reset the tester or turn it on and off. After that the PLC will
be limited in operational modes and in functionality, although for most torque application that is still perfect.
When the customer decides to buy an operational mode or a built-in, but locked feature Sure Torque will provide
the code to unlock that mode/feature. These codes may be entered on the following screens shown above.
The first two screens are used to unlock operational modes, and on the third screen it is possible to unlock various
features like the password protection, the out of limit alarm, the decay option, the automatic torque speed feature, the
serial communication and the historical screens.
