RTSX Cabling/Connecting
Attach the appropriate cable (sold separately) for
connecting the RTSX with a Mountz Torque Tester:
For non-Mountz Torque Testers, please reference Pin Diagram.
Mountz can make cables for non-Mountz Torque Analyzers,
please contact Customer Service at 408-292-2214.
Operating RTSX
The torque sensor is the ideal torque-auditing tool for testing the actual torque
being applied on the assembly application. By connecting a rotary torque sensor
between an electric or pneumatic tool and assembly application, you can monitor
the torque being applied from the tool to fastener or bolt.
Connect the tool to the "input drive" side of the RTSX. Connect bit and/or adapter
to "output drive" side. Once the RTSX is connected with a Mountz torque tester,
follow the instructions in the torque tester manual for accessing external transduc-
ers.
Using Power Tools
Make sure the tool is within the torque range of the RTSX model. If the tool is
under the torque range, then the accuracy may not be reliable. If the tool is over
the torque range, then you may overtorque the RTSX and damage the transducer.
You may require adapters for calibration or testing. Always make certain adapters
are as short as possible and fit properly, with little “play.”
Note: Not recommended for Impact Wrenches
Using Hand Tools
Make sure the tool is within the torque range of the RTSX model. If the tool is
under the torque range, then the accuracy may not be reliable. If the tool is over
the torque range, then you may overtorque the RTSX and damage the transducer. You may require adapters for calibration or
testing. Always make certain adapters are as short as possible and fit properly, with little “play.”
