simply need to select the proper transducer number when selecting custom transducers.
you do not have to re-select a smart transducer custom assigned number unless you have
disconnected the transducer from the meter.
You can repeat the above process adjusting the full scale value until the unit reads as
accurately as you desire at any point on the scale.
Selecting custom transducers:
If you have a non-smart custom transducer that you have calibrated manually, per the
above procedure, the meter will automatically recognize that the attached transducer is not
smart and prompt you with a transducer number every time you turn on the meter. Simply
press the next key to select the proper transducer number, then press save and you will
enter the normal operation mode. The meter will always turn on with this transducer
number active (on non-smart transducers) and will use the calibration data that was entered
during the manual calibration process.
If you have a smart transducer and have also assigned it a custom transducer number you
do not have to re-select the custom number as long as you do not detach the transducer
(even after power down). If you have detached the transducer then the meter will re-read
the smart chip and use the smart data, not the custom data, when it is turned on. Select the
custom transducer in this case. Do this by pressing the transducer keys and pressing the
next key until the display shows the transducer number you have assigned to the
transducer. Press the save key and the unit will now use the calibration data that was
stored in the memory of the meter for that transducer. Remember, you only have to select
the custom transducer number after you have detached the transducer.
Printing and Sending Data
Note:
It is not within the scope of this manual to instruct the user how to set up his/her
computer or printer for data transfer. Please refer to the operation manual of your
particular printer or computer.
The torque meter operates with an industry standard RS232C communication port. You
can use a program as simple as “Hyperterminal” that comes standard with Windows or
any third party data logging software.
The torque meter sends data is as follows:
RS232C, 4800, 8, 1, n
Refer to your computer or printer operation manual for a description of these settings.
The torque meter will send data out the communication port under the following
circumstances:
When the save key is pressed the data on the display will be sent (and saved).
When the “send mem” function is selected, from the menu function, it will send all the
data in memory.
When the recall key is pressed and held for 1 second the torque meter will send the torque
value on the display.
Battery and Power
The torque meter uses either a common 9 volt battery (gives longest life) or a rechargeable 9
volt battery (supplied standard for convenience).
Battery life depends significantly on the type of battery used. Non-rechargeable lithium ion 9-
volt batteries may last up to 40 hours. Common alkaline batteries may last up to 20 hours.
It is recommended that if you are going to use the meter on battery power that you keep a
standard 9 volt battery as a backup, or an additional charged 9 volt battery. Any common NmH
re-chargeable 9 volt battery can be used in the torque meter.
The Torque meter has a power down (sleep) mode that will activate after approximately 3
minutes without use. This mode still uses battery power so best to turn the meter off if not used
for any length of time.
Press the clear key to resume operation when the power down mode is active (depicted by
“…” on the display). The sleep mode still takes power so if you are on battery power it is best
to turn the meter off when not in use, this will result in longest battery life.
The torque meter will show a “B” icon on the display when the battery is low and will show a
“B” with two dashes “- -“ on the main digits when the batteries are critically low. The time
between low battery and critically low battery may vary depending on the state and type of
battery.
The torque meter can be used while the batteries are charging with no adverse effect.
The supplied power adapter is a trickle charger that will take at least 14 hours to charge a 9 volt
battery. You can use any standard external quick charger to charge the 9 volt battery.
