Change the transducer properties by using the Left and Right key. Use the
Up and Down arrows to navigate the screen.
Pressing F2 and F4
moves the decimal point.
You can also delete a transducer by pressing the delete icon and
press the green button or the green ‘tick’ to accept and the red
‘cross’ to not delete.
You can always refresh to pair a UTA to the TorqueStar if you have one attached or search for one by pressing
the refresh icon.
Transducer
: Set the number of the transducer as you see fit. The TorqueStar can store up to 10 transducers.
Type:
Scroll down to type if you are adding an Industry Standard (IS) or Force transducer. All Crane transducers
are automatically recognised and so do not need manual setup. Use arrows to change from IS to Force.
Serial number:
To input the serial number, use the keypad to highlight the serial number. Press the green
button on the keypad to highlight the first digit. Use the Up and Down arrows to change this digit and move
left and right to highlight additional digits for editing. Once completed press the green button. Up to 8 digits
can be entered.
Span:
To input the span use the same process as for inputting a serial number. Span values 1 – 8000 are
accepted.
Transducer units:
Select the measurement unit that you wish to use by using the left and right arrow keys.
Available are: Nm / lbft / lbin / MNm / Ncm / kgcm / kgm / kNm / klbft / Nmm / ozin if IS transducer and N,
kN, kg, kkg, lb, klb if Force transducer.
Pulses per revolution (PPR), Millivolts/Volt, Bridge resistance, Torque @ mV/V:
To input these details, follow
the same process as inputting a serial number. Millivolts/Volt can be between 0.500 to 8.000. Bridge
resistance cannot be 0000. PPR = 0 means angle cannot be measured.
