Transducer mounting positions/dimensions
for bench mount style torque transducers (up to 600 ft.lb.):
Warning!
Always make sure the bench is strong enough and will not tip wen applying torque
Bolting the bench to the ground may be necessary on higher range transducers.
Make sure the cable is pointing down (4 O’CLOCK POSITION) when mounted on a
bench. This will place the primary axis in the correct position for greatest accuracy.

Torque Sensors and OVERLOAD
Torque transducers are designed to give years of reliable operation if treated properly.
Torque transducers are sensitive electro-mechanical measurement devices and should
be handled with care.
Never over-torque a transducer beyond its usable range. It is good practice, when
possible, to select a transducer that is at least 25% greater in range than the expected
torque it will apply. This may help avoid accidental over-torque.
The torque transducers that are supplied with the torque meter will accept up to 50%
over torque without damage. However, if this should occur we recommend that you
return the unit for a calibration check.
The torque meter has an audible warning system that will alert you if you have
exceeded the usable range of the transducer. A constant beeping sound will occur.
The display will ramp out at approximately 3% over the maximum torque rating of
the transducer. Stop applying torque when you hear this sound, and press the clear
key to stop the buzzing.
