1.  Ensure all cables are plugged in properly, as described in 

Setup and Safety 

section.  

2.  Ensure that the torque value has not exceeded the overload limits configured in the stand.  
3.  Ensure that instrument’s set points have been configured properly. Both set points must be 

enabled, regardless of test direction, with upper limit in the CCW direction, and lower limit in 
the CW direction. Refer to the indicator’s user’s guide for further instructions on configuring 
set points.
