OPERATION 4 BUTTON FUNCTION REAR PANEL INPUTS 3 2 1 The rear panel has three (3) inputs: 1. DC in. This is the main power in connector. Use only a power supply provided by AWS, Inc., Part No. DCPA-110. Using the wrong voltage or reverse polarity will cause damage to the system. 2. RS-232 connector. 3. Transducer Input: Plug the transducer into this 12 pin circular connector. This is a PUSH LOCK, not a Twist connector.
OPERATION 5 RS-232 The MTMDP display can be connected to a printer, computer or data collector via its RS232 interface. Every time a reading is accepted into memory, a peak is cleared, or data is transmitted via the print data menu(s), it is transmitted via the RS-232 port. To download the readings, go to the DATA MENU. SPECIAL NOTE: Model MTMDP-2S PTEST is not equipped with memory, so the operation of the RS-232 will vary from the standard unit. The protocol, however, remains the same.
PROGRAMMING 6 PROGRAMMING & NAVIGATION ENTERS THE MENU SELECTS MODE SYSTEM OF OPERATION The AWS product line has been newly redesigned to provide a consistent interface throughout the product line. We have made the user interface menu driven, as opposed to 'hard coded'. This has provided several advantages. First, once you learn the basics, you can operate any of our products with the shortest learning curve possible.

AUTO-CLEAR Auto-Clear works in Peak and 1st Peak Modes, freeing the operator from manually clearing the display after taking a reading. Auto-Clear can be set from one to nine seconds, or completely off.
PROGRAMMING 12 FULL SCALE This screen shows the Full Scale value of the Torque Shaft. This is not a field adjustable value.
