Operation
Each time the power is turned OFF and ON there are some parameters that the DRI will default to. Consult the section on “Parameter
Settings” to customize these default settings. The following chart reflects the default settings as programmed by the factory:
How to Tare and Zero the Display
After installing an attachment, it will be necessary to tare the DRI:
1. Press the RESET button while holding down the ON button to tare the display.
2. Press the RESET button by itself when the peak indicator is showing to zero the display. Repeat step 1 if the display does not return
to zero.
NOTE: The DRI can tare up to 50% of the remote sensor’s rated capacity.
Changing the Measuring Mode: True Peak Mode/Standard Mode
CAUTION: Depending on which of these two measuring modes is selected, the PEAK button performs two different functions! The DRI
will always display an average force when PEAK is not showing on the display. The average measurement is based upon the display
update rate chosen (see “Changing Display Update Time” section). When in the True Peak mode, pressing the PEAK button will allow
the display to scroll from average to peak “+” (compression or clockwise torque) to peak “-” (tension or counterclockwise torque). When
in the Standard mode, pressing the PEAK button will allow the display to scroll from average to maximum display reading “+” to
maximum display reading “-”. Despite showing PEAK on the display, these are not true peak readings; they are the highest average
displayed readings since the DRI was last “tared”.
Instructions to change the Measuring Mode are as follows:
1. Press the PEAK button while holding down the ON button. The small display will exhibit “dSP”.
3. Press the PEAK button; the small display will read “PfS” and the main display will show “on” (True Peak) or “oFF” (Standard).
3. Press the > button to toggle between “on” and “oFF”.
4. Press MEMO SET button to store the measuring mode and exit.
NOTE: By keeping the true peak mode “ON”, the DRI will always display the peak samples and not a maximum average.
