Page 5: Introduction
INTRODUCTION The T-Box XL™ is a hand held torque measuring instrument with a user friendly colour touch screen interface. Both hand and powered torque tools can be measured, calibrated or viewed in graph mode. The comprehensive instrument functions in 12 languages, all common torque units, pre-loaded Tool calibration templates and has a large measurement memory for storage of test results. -
Page 6: Features And Functions
Total 6,645KB (7% of memory) Templates for all Norbar tools (Torque Wrenches, PneuTorques & EvoTorques) to enable the operator to easily perform calibrations on their tools to the relevant ISO standard using the in-built calibration program. In addition templates exist for all torque tools covered in ISO 6789:2003 with other tools easily added. -
Page 7: Quick Start
QUICK START Follow flowchart to use the T-Box XL™. To just measure torque follow the RED bold path. For more comprehensive details refer to BEFORE USE, MEASURE, SETUP and SPECIFICATION sections. NOTE: If Target, Tool Templates, Tools or Non-Smart Transducers do not exist, add via Setup. -
