BASIC FUNCTIONS 
 Turning On / Off To turn the AUET & AUET/MTM on, press the “ON” button (Figure 1). The AIMCO logo will be  displayed  for  approximately  4  seconds,  then the  unit  will  start  at  the RUN or  sequential MEM mode of the tester.  To turn the AUET & AUET/MTM off, simply press the “OFF” button.  
Set Torque Reading Mode           
 OPERATING MODE Descriptions By selecting the proper Operating Mode, the user can properly take torque readings from a variety of manual and powered tools. 
 PEAK This  mode  will  provide  a  display  of  the maximum  torque  value  achieved  by  the  tool  during operation. This  mode  is  used  for  all  continuous  drive  tools  impact  or  impulse  tools,  dial wrenches and to identify highest torque delivered with click type wrenches. 
 1st PEAK This mode will detect and display the “first peak” achieved by click wrenches and cam-over screwdrivers. 
 PULSE This mode counts the number of events (pulses or impact blows) in a cycle. This mode does not change the manner in which peak torque is identified. 
 TRACK This mode will display torque in real-time as it is applied to the connected transducer. Track mode is used primarily for calibration of the unit or identifying the condition of the transducer. In Track Mode with no torque on the transducer, the display should show zero.  While in the Main Display screen, press the Selection Arrow-Down button to cycle through the available Operating Mode choices. The choices will be displayed in the following order:  
   Setting ENGINEERING UNITS The AUET & AUET/MTM must be in RUN MODE in order to change the Engineering Units. If torque values have been stored in the AUET & AUET/MTM while in MEMORY MODE, then the memory must be cleared in order to change the Engineering Units.  While in the Main Display screen, press the Selection Arrow-Up button to cycle through the available Engineering Unit choices. The choices will be displayed in the following order:

Sign Lock The SIGN LOCK feature allows the user to select the rotation direction in which a torque peak will be captured. With SIGN LOCK set to ON, the initial first rundown  direction is set as the default direction.   If  the  initial  rundown  was  performed  in  a  clockwise  direction  a  positive  reading  indicates  a reading  taken  in  the  clockwise  direction  while  a  negative  torque value  indicates  a  reading taken in the counter-clockwise direction. If the initial rundown is taken in a counter clockwise manner, then the opposite will hold true. Any readings taken in the non-selected direction will be measured, but not captured / displayed as a peak value.  The direction of the first rundown taken after tester is powered ON will be the direction measured. If initial rundown direction is NOT the direction to be measured, turn tester OFF, restart and run in desired direction.  With SIGN  LOCK turned OFF,  peak  values  in  both  the  clockwise  and  counter-clockwise directions will be captured and displayed.   Since most torque rundowns are conducted and readings are taken in the clockwise direction, the user may find it beneficial to turn this feature ON.   Turning Sign Lock ON / OFF  1. From the main display press MENU. 2. Press the Right Selection button to select PEAK OPTIONS MENU. 3. Use the Selection Arrow buttons to select SIGN LOCK. 4. Use the Left Selection button to toggle SIGN LOCK on or off. 5. When the desired value is selected, press ENTER to save and progress to the next MENU level.  At any Menu level, pressing ENT twice will return to the Main Display Screen at the previously set Operating Mode.  Charging the Auditor AUET & AUET/MTM Desktop Torque Tester  1. Plug the 100 – 240 VAC Charger into DC Power Supply port (Figure 3). 2. Plug the Charger into a 100–240 VAC power outlet using the appropriate plug end. 3. Press the “Off” button on the front panel (Figure 1). 4. The  Charging  Mode  Indicator  LED  (Green,  next  to  “ON”  button)  should  begin  to  flash green.   symbol will be displayed on the Main Display screen if the unit is turned on.  5. When the AUET & AUET/MTM is fully charged the LED will stop flashing. 6. The AUET & AUET/MTM can be used as normal in AC mode with the charger connected. 
7. When  used  in  DC  mode  (Battery)  and  the  battery  charge  is  low,  the  symbol  (low battery)  will  show  on  the  Main  Display  screen,  see Figure  1,  (19). The  100–240VAC Charger should be plugged into the unit immediately to continue uninterrupted operation.

Using the AUET & AUET/MTM in RUN MODE 
 RUN  MODE can  be  used  to  quickly  and easily take torque readings using a variety of tools in situations where storage of data and statistical feedback is not necessary.  With  the AUET & AUET/MTM turned ON, observe the Data Storage Mode Status field (Figure 1). If RUN is displayed, the AUET & AUET/MTM is in RUN MODE and can then be  configured  accordingly. If  the  status reads MEM, then the AUET & AUET/MTM is in MEMORY MODE.  Install the supplied driving bit into the Torque applying  device  to  be  tested. Engage  the driving bit into the Hex screw in the supplied joint kit and  run  the  torque  applying  device per its instructions. The Main Display Screen will  show  the  Torque  value  received  by  the built in transducer.      
 Clearing a Torque Value / RUN MODE When in RUN MODE, if Auto Clear is turned on  by  selecting  a  time  value,  the  display screen  will  automatically  convert  back  to  a zero value after the set amount of seconds. Auto Clear clears the display and sends the value out to the serial port automatically.  When in RUN MODE, if Auto Clear is turned OFF,  the  operator  must  manually  clear  a torque value from the display:  1. Set the Auto Clear function to OFF.  2. While  in  the  Main  Display  screen, conduct a rundown. 3. After  observing  the  torque  value  for  the rundown, press CLEAR. 4. The  Main  Display  will  convert  back  to  a zero  value and  the torque value is  sent out to the serial port automatically   
SETUP OF EXTERNAL TRANSDUCER – AUET/MTM ONLY 
 The AUET/MTM can be used with a variety of external transducers, whether supplied by AIMCO  or  another  manufacturer. Because manufacturers  use  a  wide  range  of transducer  technologies  and  connector types, verify that the transducer you  plan to use  is  capable  of  being  connected  to  and communicating  with  the AUET/MTM. For assistance  with  this,  please  contact  your AIMCO  Distributor  or  authorized  AIMCO Sales Representative.  AIMCO’s  lines  of Auditor™ industry-standard transducers are manufactured with the proper connector-style for easy use with the AUET/MTM and  will  be  used  as  the example in all following instructions.  Two  (2)  optional  cables  are  available  from AIMCO  to  connect Auditor™ brand transducers to the AUET/MTM:  
 Part # ATDBLIS   Connects the ATDA to any Auditor™ ABRT- or  ARTIS Torque/Angle series transducer  
  
 Part # ATDBRIS   Connects the ATDA to any Auditor™ ARTIS Torque Only series transducer   Contact  your  AIMCO  Distributor or  AIMCO authorized  Sales  Representative  for information on ordering these cables.   Connecting a Transducer Align  the  red  dot  on  the  transducer-cable connector  with  the  red  dot  on  the TRANSDUCER CABLE INPUT port (Figure 2) and  firmly  press  the  connector into  the port. Set rotary switch to external port.   Setting up the Transducer to be used The Auditor™ AUET/MTM must  be  set  to recognize  the  transducer  connected  to  the instrument. Most  transducers  can  be  made to  allow  the Auditor™ AUET/MTM to  self-recognize  the  transducer  simply  when  a connection is made. For assistance with this, please  contact  your  AIMCO  Distributor  or

authorized AIMCO Sales Representative for a transducer upgrade quotation. For  the  typical,  Industry  Standard  (IS)  type of transducer,  the  setup  procedure  is  as follows:  1. Turn the AUET/MTM On. 2. Within  3  seconds  of  pressing  the ON button,  press  the LEFT  SELECTION BUTTON (Figure 1) for CAL 3. Press ENT to  SELECT  UNITS. If  a transducer  has  been  previously  setup, the  data  for  that previous  setup  will  be shown. 4. Units  of  measure  for  use  in  setting  up the  transducer  may  be  changed  in  this screen  by  pressing  the UP  OR  DOWN SELECTION ARROW to scroll through the  available  units. Pressing ENT will select the displayed unit of measure for use  in  setup  and  then  display  the SELECT FULL SCALE screen. 5. To  change  the  number  displayed  to match  the  transducer  being  setup, press  the RIGHT  SELECTION BUTTON to EDIT the number. 6. The upper right corner of the screen will display the digit number that use of the UP  or  DOWN  SELECTION  ARROWS will effect. The bottom left corner of the screen  shows  the  increment  of adjustment that each press of the UP or DOWN  SELECTION  ARROWS changes the digit by. 7. Once  the  number displayed  on  the screen  matches  the  transducer  to  be used,  press ENT to  confirm  the  set value. 8. The  next  screen  will  display  “(+/-) 0.000”  and  the  A-D  counts. Press  and hold the RIGHT SELECTION BUTTON 
to EDIT the  mV/V  rating  of  the transducer  being  setup. System defaults  to  2.00000  which  is  standard for all Auditor IS transducers. To insure that  the  selection  is  correct  a  change should  be  made  even  if  the  default  of 2.00000mV/v  is  correct. Using  the UP and DOWN  SELECTION  ARROWS adjust the reading up and down to then display the desired value. Press ENT if this  value  is  correct  for  the  transducer being setup. It is important to be sure that  the  sign  (+/-)  shown  on  the  A-D matches  the  direction  of  the  Cal mode. If  in  +Cal  then  the sign  must be  positive. If  in –Cal  then  the  sign must be -. Rotation of the transducer shaft  will  facilitate  a  change  from  + to – should that be necessary. 9. Percentage  of  Full  Scale  is  the  next adjustment. Default  is  100. To  limit  the readable  range  of  the transducer  to  be used,  use  the RIGHT  SELECTION BUTTON and the UP or DOWN arrows to change this value. Hit ENT once the desired value is displayed. 10. Press  the DOWN  SELECTION ARROW to set the –Cal.  Confirm –Cal by hitting ENT. Repeat steps 8 & 9. 11. After  mV/V and  Full  Scale  have  been entered,  the  display  returns  to  the  A-D count screen. Hit ENT 12. If  the  value  is  correct,  press ENT and PGM will show on the screen.  13. Press the LEFT SELECTION BUTTON to Save the setting. The unit will power itself off and will hold the set value until it is changed in the future or a different Intellect  transducer  is  attached  to  the unit.
