Chapter 2 - Installing Your Torq-Tronics ®
Mounting To Wall or Bench - Location Selection
There are several items that must be considered when selecting the location where your
Torq-Tronics ®
will be mounted. These are:
Tool proximity.
Do you want to test tools at or near their use location or do you want to
bring the tools to a central location? Will you be using a computer and Torque Tool
Manager (TTM) software with your
Torq-Tronics ®
?
Solidity of mount.
Your
Torq-Tronics ®
unit must be secured to a solid support to function
properly. If the tester can move when a torque tool is tested, the motion will degrade the
accuracy of the torque measurement, and over time the motion may damage the unit or the
support the unit is attached to. The selected mounting location must also be equal to or
larger than the base plate of the tester - full support of the base plate is required to achieve
the required rigidity. See the Safety Recommendations at the front of this manual.
Electricity source
. Your
Torq-Tronics ®
requires a source of electricity to power the unit
and recharge the batteries. The backlight of the LCD will only work when the unit is
plugged into the proper power source. If you will be using TTM with your unit, electric
power will be required for it as well. The installation must be close to an appropriate power
source. See the Safety Recommendations at the front of this manual.
Tester orientation.
Your
Torq-Tronics ®
unit will function properly in either the vertical
or the horizontal plane. The primary consideration in selecting tester orientation is
ergonomic. If the tools to be tested are of low torque capacity, mounting the tester on a
workbench in the horizontal plane may be optimal. If the tools to be tested are of 50 foot-
pounds capacity or higher, mounting the tester in the vertical plane at an appropriate height
is recommended. This will permit the user to utilize their body mass more efficiently in
controlling the tools being tested, thereby reducing the risk of injury. The reduced effort
will also encourage use of the proper tool handling procedure during testing.
Power/Communications access.
Your
Torq-Tronics ®
uses NiCd rechargeable batteries
and a battery charger as electric power sources. The batteries will need to be replaced peri-
odically. This requires removal and reinstallation of the battery plate cover on the right side
of the
Torq-Tronics ®
unit. This side also contains the charger receptacle and serial port. It
is important that sufficient clearance be maintained to the right of the unit that access and
workspace for battery replacement and power/communications connections be available.
Note: Do not use other types of batteries.
