Record maximum valueThe maximum value recorded is stored and displayed. Maximum value mode allows to take a reading in chucking situations when the display cannot be viewed. The maximum value remains displayed after unclamping the meter. The memory can be cleared before a new maximum value reading is taken by pressing the CLR button. If the memory isn't cleared manually it will be cleared automatically whenever the next reading is taken and the new result will be displayed. In order to avoid misinterpreted readings, the maximum recorded value is automatically deleted, whenever the meter is switched off. |

Changing number of jawsThe number of jaws changes each time this key is pressed. The chosen number of jaws is shown in the top right corner of the display. Possible values are 2, 3 and 6 jaws. The reading eventually displayed is the actual measurement multiplied by the number of jaws selected, and the maximum value is cleared. |

Clear maximum valueThe recorded maximum value is cleared, but the unit remains in maximum value mode. |

Changing the unit scaleOn pressing this button the unit scale is changed. Available unit scales are t, kN and klbs. The value read is recalculated and displayed when the unit scale is changed. 1 kN = 1000N, 1 t = 9807 N, 1 klbs = 1000 lbs = 4448 N |
