Description 

1 Measurement 

direction 
indicator 

 

– indicates clockwise direction  

 

– indicates counter-clockwise direction  

These indicators are used throughout the display and menu.   

2 Peaks 

The maximum measured clockwise and counter-clockwise readings. These 
readings are reset by pressing 

ZERO

 or by powering the gauge off and on. 

3 Primary 

reading 

The current displayed load reading. See 

Operating Modes

 section for 

details.  

4 Load 

bar 

Analog indicator to help identify when an overload condition is imminent. The 
bar increases either to the right or to the left from the midpoint of the graph. 
Increasing to the right indicates clockwise load, increasing to the left indicates 
counter-clockwise load. If set points are enabled, triangular markers are 
displayed for visual convenience. This indicator reflects the actual load, which 
may not correspond to the primary reading (depends on operating mode). 
The 

ZERO

 key does not reset the load bar. See 

Operating Modes

 section for 

details. 

5 Units 

The current measurement unit. Abbreviations are as follows: 
        lbFin – Pound-inch 
        ozFin – Ounce-inch 
        kgFmm – Kilogram-millimeter 
        Ncm – Newton-centimeter 

Note:

 not all sensor models display all the above units. Refer to the capacity / 

resolution table for details. 

6 Mode 

The current measurement mode. Abbreviations are as follows: 
       RT – Real Time  
       PCW – Peak Clockwise 
       PCCW – Peak Counter-clockwise 
See 

Operating Modes

 section for details about each of these modes 

Battery / AC 
adapter indicator 

Either the AC adapter icon or battery power icon will be shown, depending on 
power conditions. Refer to the 

Power

 section for details.
