F E A T U R E S O V E R V I E W Controlling torque is quintessential for companies to ensure their product' s quality, safety and reliability isn't compromised. Insufficiently torqued fasteners can vibrate loose overtime and when excessively torqued the threaded fasteners can strip. Using a quality torque analyzer has become increasingly important for many companies to secure that proper torque is being applied.
It is strongly recommend securing the analyzer to a workbench before operating. Immobilizing the analyzer is critical for the safety the operator as well as for the accuracy of torque measurements during operation. The TorqueLabâ features two mounting options. SURFACE MOUNT This mounting option offers the most secure way to immobilize the analyzer, and is recommended when used at a permanent location.
Rated Output between 1.7 to 2.3 mV/V and 5 V. See “CELL SET-UP”. TRANSDUCER and RS 232 CONNECTION PIN-OUT The following diagram and Table define the pins of the I/O connectors for the TorqueLabâ. RS-232 Connector Transducer Connector...

S L E E P M O D E The TorqueLabâ features a built-in sleep mode function to save power when not in use. If there is no activity for 5 minutes, such as key press or no torque input, the analyzer will display SLP.
G O / N O G O S I G N A L The TorqueLabâ is equipped with visual (green and red LED) and audible (buzzer) signals to provide the user instant torque status during operation. These signals operate in conjunction with the transducer’s capacity and tolerance settings.
P R I N T I N G / D O W N L O A D I N G D A T A Data output is available, from the TorqueLabâ, via the RS232 port. The analyzer only outputs displayed torque values. These values can be directly printed by any serial printer or downloaded into a computer.
Text”. Then select the folder and file you wish to save it as. M O D E S E L E C T I O N The TorqueLabâ Analyzer offers three different modes for displaying torque information during operation. The user will determine which mode is best suited for the application.
The TorqueLabâ analyzer supports seven units of torque measurement, lbf.ft, lbf.in, ozf.in, N.m, cN.m, Kgf.m, and kgf.cm. However certain torque values cannot be converted into other units due to display resolution, in these cases the TorqueLabâ will warn you by displaying “Err”. Key sequence to change units: •...

C A L I B R A T I O N S E T - U P Equipment and methods used during the calibration process of any transducers or analyzers are critical and can dramatically affect the quality, accuracy and performance of your analyzer. Maintain all your calibration equipment in top condition, and always perform the calibration process in a controlled environment.
Note: The decimal point is now at a fixed location, previously determined during the HIGH CAPACITY set-up. RATED OUTPUT The TorqueLabâ can accept a rated output ranging Data from 1.700 to 2.300 mV/V and 5 V (Brushless transducers). This value is provided by the...

The TorqueLabâ â â â , and the Mountz family of transducers have been designed to minimize these variations and are well suited for both the analysis of the application joint and the testing of the impulse tool.

(highly recommended). For manual calibration of click type wrenches use the First Peak mode on the TorqueLabâ so the tester will display the point at which the wrench “clicked” (First Peak) and the point when the operator stopped pulling (Second Peak shown in the torque window).
