* To install the strap holder, untighten the two screws and re-secure the holder with the screws.
** SIGMA 2001 only
2.3 - Battery block
The battery block is extractible and consists of 6 x 1.2 V (7.2 V) NimH elements, rechargeable inside or outside the
unit. P.N.: 6159350360.
Battery life is 8 hours.
It allows up to 1000 Discharging/Recharging cycles.
Automatic stop when the unit is idle is programmable (see "Service" menu).
When the battery indicator blinks on the screen on the front side, it is necessary to recharge the battery block using the
charger supplied with the unit.
- The battery indicator crossed out means a connection fault with the battery block.
- When blinking, the charge indicator lamp located on the left side of the charger socket means that the cable is
correctly connected and the charging of the battery block is running smoothly.
- When the lamp is on, it means that the charging process has been completed.

3 - MEASUREMENT
Check that the cables are connected correctly on the rear side of the unit.
When switched on, the unit displays the standard acquisition screen:
To move the cursor upwards or downwards, press ªor «.
To change a parameter, press ¨or ©and then {.
Task:
Position the cursor on the first line and press {to display the screen to change the parameters of the task.
Operating mode:
Mean and range:
The unit automatically calculates the mean and range out of the last 5 measurements.
Automatic printing of the results:
Press ¥to display the request screen for the automatic printing of the measurements:
Enabled yes/no (auto print or not)
Periph.. selection of the peripheral : (parallel) printer or PC (serial link).
Header yes/no (printing without header or footer).
Format Standard/Specific
The "automatic printing" function allows the operator to print the results as and when the measurements are collected.
To exit the "Acquisition" menu, press ¡.
Tto read the torque in Track mode.
The actual value of the torque is displayed continuously. This mode is generally used to test the measuring line.
Pto read the torque in Peak mode.
This mode is the standard mode of acquisition: the "peak" value of the measurement is displayed and stored.
*to read the torque in "tightening" mode or rightward rotation
(to read the torque in "untightening" mode or leftward rotation
)to read the torque in "tightening" and "untightening" mode
mR manual reset. Press ¢to save the measurement. When the maximum number of measurements is reached, you
cannot store any other: press ¢to reset the display to 0.
Use the "results/measurements" menu to erase the measurements in order to store new measurements.
Press ¤to reset the display (AZC). Caution: no measurement is saved.
During this operation, the transducer must be stress-free.

Transducer connection:
The transducers that may be connected to this measuring unit are the CMD** series analog transducers or the DRT series
digital transducers. DRT type transducers are automatically recognised by the measuring unit, and their characteristics are
automatically taken into account.
The selection of a transducer type is determined by the selection of a task in the measurement screen; several cases can be
considered if the transducer determined by the task is not identical to the transducer actually connected.
Conformity between the task-oriented transducer and the transducer actually connected, is continuously checked on the
measurement screen, in order to take account of a change even if made with the transducer switched on.
** SIGMA 2001 only
4 - "PARAMETERS" MENU
To exit the "Acquisition" menu, press ¡. The main menu is displayed.
This menu allows the operator to program the parameters of the task, parallel printer and serial link.
Note: The unit can be reset (erasing all parameters and measurements) by pressing ¥when switching on.
4.1 - "Task" menu
Automatic Reset principle:
The system starts a measurement as soon as the value is higher than the programmed measurement threshold. The
system detects when the torque drops below the Reset threshold (x% of the peak value), checks that the value does not
rise during a time period equal to the programmed time then saves the measurement. The display is not reset
immediately. When the system detects that the torque rises again, the previous measurement is erased.
Note: if the value rises again above the "measurement threshold" during the resetting time, the measurement is not
completed and therefore not saved.
Note: in "hydro" mode, the measurement is considered to be completed when no torque value has risen above the
measurement threshold for a time interval which can be programmed in the "auto reset time" parameter. This means
that this time interval must be higher than the one measured between 2 peaks.
In Automatic Reset:
Threshold Reset Threshold: 50% by default
