(transducer). EXAMPLES OF USAGE: Production Applications - Hand Use: Use a Mountz TWX or SMX torque sensor connected to the TorqueMate to apply torque to any assembly. The TWX is suited for wrench style applications, while the SMX is perfect for screwdriver or socket style functions. The unit has a Go/No Go light and alarm system to notify the operator when they obtain the low tolerance setting or exceed the high tolerance s e t t i n g . -

Page 9: Before You Begin
Before You Begin I M P O R TA N T Transducer Number You must have a calibrated transducer with a transducer number assigned to it. Always make sure the TM200 is set to the transducer number that you have attached. Every time you turn on the TM200 the current transducer number and its associated range will be displayed (depicted by c-XX where XX is the transducer number). -
Page 10: Operation
Operation The TM200 is an accurate, user friendly torque display that allows a user to quickly change functions and features without getting lost in a menu structure. Any change made after pressing the enter key returns you directly to the operation mode. CHANGING MODES AND UNITS W ith the Scroll and Enter Keys - The most used functions are changed by simply pressing the key labeled with the feature you want to modify. -
Page 11: Pause (Paus) Mode
Operation (cont.) PAUSE (PAUS) MODE The TM200 automatically conserves battery power after 5 minutes without use. The display will show PAUS . Pressing the Enter key returns the TM200 to the operation mode. UNIT OF MEASURE (Engineering Units) To change the unit of measurement: lbf.ft 1. -
Page 12: Mode Of Operation
Operation (cont.) MODE OF OPERATION To change the mode of operation: 1. Press the Mode key. 2. Press the Scroll Up key until the mode arrow points to the desired mode of operation: a ) Track Mode: The display tracks the applied torque in clockwise and counterclockwise directions. b ) Peak Mode: The display holds the highest peak torque applied. - Page 13 Operation (cont.) SETTING GO AND NO/GO TOLERANCE (High/Low) LIMITS In the Peak, Power Tool or First Peak mode: 1. Press the Tolerance key (the arrow icon will point to Low Tolerance). 2. Change the value of the flashing digit by pressing the Scroll Up key (and the decimal will be fixed). 3.

Page 14: Joint Rate
Operation (cont.) To check the joint rate: Check the rate of a joint (soft, medium or hard) by tightening the fastener to the specified torque and measuring the rotation angle of the fastener from 50% to 100% of the torque applied. Set the threshold to 50% of expected torque. -
Page 15: Set-Up Mode
Set-Up Mode Enter the Set-Up mode by pressing the Tolerance and Mode key simultaneously (the Set-Up icon will turn on). Scroll through the various Set-Up functions by pressing the Scroll Up key. When you get to the option you want to change press the Enter key. Upon changing any option, you will be returned to the operation mode. - Page 16 Set-Up Mode (cont.) 4. MANUAL CLEAR/AUTO CLEAR (Selects The Reset (Clear) Mode For The Display) a. Press Enter to select this option. b. Press the Scroll Up key to toggle between Manual Clear ON or Auto Clear ON. c. Press Enter to save and exit. During operation, if you have selected the Auto Clear mode, and you want to save data to memory, y o u must press the Enter key before applying additional torque, otherwise the data will be lost when you apply additional torque (auto clear).
- Page 17 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 obta i n i t .

- o u t s p e c i f i c a t i o n s . If you have a transducer that has a special connector Mountz can make a custom connector for the TM200. - Page 19 Transducers (cont.) I M P O R TA N T The TM200 and transducers are instruments that should be handled with care. Never overload trans- ducers above full capa c i t y. Avoid using impact tools on transducers*. Before use, load the transducer to full scale in the direction to be used, then zero the display to compensate for any zero off s e t .
- Page 20 Transducer Calibration Always calibrate the TM200 with the unit plugged into the AC power adapter and make sure the batteries are fully charged. Calibration data for up to 15 transducers can be memorized by the TM200. There are two options available for calibrating a transducer: 1 .

Page 21: Transducer Calibration
Transducer Calibration (cont.) The display will now show the mv/v signal of the transducer at full range (1 to 4). The default is 2.000. Enter the actual value by pressing the Scroll up key to change the value of the blinking digit. Press the Scroll Right key to select a different digit. -

Note: Calibration Intervals Mountz Service Centers will calibrate and certify any transducer or transducer / display to N.I.S.T. It is recommended that this happen every 6 months but calibration intervals should be based on usage. -
Page 23: Charging The Batteries
Charging the Batteries Always leave the TM200 turned on when charging the batteries. This allows the microprocessor to monitor the charging cycle. The TM200 can be used while charging without affecting torque accuracy. The unit will go into battery saving pause (PAUS) mode after 5 minutes without use, but the batteries w i l l s t i l l b e c h a r g i n g . -

Page 25: Breakaway Torque Methods
Application Notes (cont.) You can test pulse and power tools in different ways: 1. Preferred Method (and quickest): Use the TM200 in Power Tool Mode with a rotary transducer between the pulse tool and the actual application. This is the best way to test since you are using t h e a c t u a l j o i n t a s t h e t e s t s tation. -

SMX transducer in a fixture. Mount the transducer directly to a bench and apply the torque directly to the wrench by hand, or attach the transducer to a Mountz mechanical loader and isolate the wrench from the operator, reducing the possibility of operator errors (highly recommended). -
Page 27: Filters
Filters The process of converting pulse type dynamic mechanical torque to an electronic signal using a trans- ducer may result in unwanted inputs (noise), resulting in a distorted torque value (usually high). Oft e n i t is possible through the use of appropriate circuitry to selectively filter out some or all of the unwanted n o i s e . -
