Set-Up Mode (Fast Cal)
Quickly Entering Calibration Data For A Transducer (Fast Cal)
To quickly enter calibration data for a transducer you must know the mv/v signal output at full scale
and the range of the transducer (both should be marked on the transducer).
If the transducer is not marked with this information then contact manufacturer of the
transducer to obtain it.
If the transducer is a Brush-Less transducer it is marked as 5 V output rather than a mV/V output.
Please note that this type of transducer must be calibrated using a True, deadweight calibration.
Turn the TorqueMate® Plus on and press Enter when it shows the current cell number.
1. Enter Set-up by pressing the Mode and Tolerance key simultaneously.
2. Press the Scroll Up key until the display shows “CAL”.
3. Press the Enter key. Now press the sequence: Enter, Scroll Right, Tolerance.
4. Select the proper units with the Scroll Up key then press the Enter key.
5. Select the cell number for the transducer to be calibrated (1-15) with the Scroll Up key, then press
Enter.
6. Enter the full scale range of the new transducer (default is 3333). Use the Scroll Up key to change
the digit value, the Scroll Right key to select a different digit. Do not worry if the decimal is wrong,
you will change that next. Press Enter when the numbers are correct.
7. Now set the decimal place with the Scroll Right key. Press Enter to save the decimal place.
8. Now enter the mv/v range of the transducer at full scale (default 2.000). Use the Scroll Up and the
Scroll Right key as you did with the range (you cannot change the decimal place). Press Enter when
finished.
Note: The TorqueMate® Plus will always display 2.000, even if you have previously programmed a dif-
ferent value.
9. The display will now show Fast (FAST) Cal. Press Enter.
10. The transducer is now coded and calibrated using mv/v and range. The calibration data will be writ-
ten to memory. Whenever you select the corresponding code number the TorqueMate® Plus will use
the calibration data that was saved.

Note: Calibration Security
To ensure that inadvertent alteration of calibration data does not occur a Key
Sequence Override is required to be entered at the CAL prompt. After hitting Enter
to activate the Cal Menu the Key Sequence Override is accomplished by pressing
Enter, Scroll Right & Tolerance. Press these keys in exact order to access the CAL
menu.

Note: Setting Decimal Place
Always enter the range value starting with the first decimal place.
For example 10 ft.lb. transducer should be programmed to 10.00 not 010.0 or 0010.
