7529_eng.fm Page 7 Wednesday, November 12, 2003 8:57 AM How to use this Manual This manual is split into sections describing the steps to be taken to configure the ETA for use in measuring and recording torque values. There are a number of other parameters which are set from the Software Reset Menu, some of which are detailed elsewhere in this manual.
7529_eng.fm Page 8 Wednesday, November 12, 2003 8:57 AM Packing List The following items, except those listed as optional, are included with the ETA unit: 1 x ETA Analyzer ............ETA 1 x Camera (Neck) Strap .
7529_eng.fm Page 9 Wednesday, November 12, 2003 8:57 AM Care and Storage When not in use the unit should be returned The membrane keypad may be wiped clean to the supplied carry case. with a soft damp cloth. The unit is not water- proofed and spillages should be avoided.
The following instructions for “Edit Transducer File” must be followed before any reading or measurements can be taken. This section may be skipped if you are using an Ingersoll-Rand TSD, TRD or Crane UTA Series Transducer. There are 5 types of transducers and inputs For ETA5: which the ETA will accept.

Introduction The joint kits are designed as a convenient, repeatable, variable stiffness joint for assessing the performance of torque tools. They can be used with the Ingersoll-Rand stationary (static) or rotary transducers. Each kit may be assembled in different ways to vary the stiffness of the joint. Reference Table 1, to select from the available options.
7529_eng.fm Page 52 Wednesday, November 12, 2003 8:57 AM The base plate or transducer, depending on model, should be mounted onto a rigid surface. See Figure 1 for bolt hole pattern. Place the bolt assembly just completed into the shroud and then onto the transducer or base plate.

7529_eng.fm Page 55 Wednesday, November 12, 2003 8:57 AM Glossary of Terms Characteristic Specification of one particular torque value to be collected. Each characteristic has a name of up to 14 characters. ETA5 can store up to 48 different characteristics at any one time. This is a capability index which shows the process capability potential but takes no account of how centred the process is.
