Page 25: Specification - Ancillaries
SPECIFICATION - ANCILLARIES The Ancillaries connector contains inputs and outputs for connection to external equipment. Pin Connections Pin No Function Digital +5 V (maximum current 5 mA). External PRINT / RESET Input (Active High). Low Limit Torque Output. Pass Limit Torque Output. High Limit Torque Output. -
Page 26: Analogue Output
If the output is measured against PIN 13 (0 V) the signal will always be positive, with zero torque around 2.5 V. TIP: Some transducers (Norbar Annular type) will give a negative output change for a positive torque. This is because they are designed to measure reaction torque. -
Page 27: Specification - Serial Port
SPECIFICATION - SERIAL PORT The serial port is for sending data to a PC. See Settings Screen >> Serial Ports. Pin Connections The port is configured as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) and conforms to RS-232-C specifications. The transmitted data voltage levels are between +5 to +9 volts and –5 to -9 volts. Pin No Function Not Connected. -
Page 28: Maintenance
Re-calibration and repair should be carried out at Norbar or by a Norbar approved agent. Repair Repair should be carried out at Norbar or by a Norbar approved agent, where all the facilities to ensure the instrument is functioning at maximum accuracy are available. -
Page 29: Troubleshooting
In ‘Serial Port Setup’ change ‘Output Limits’ to ‘Disable’. Software’ (Part No 37705.XXX). In the ‘Serial Port Setup’ change ‘Output Rate’ to a higher value Serial data too slow. NOTE: For more complex faults please contact Norbar distributor / manufacturer. -
Page 30: Example Setups
EXAMPLE SETUPS Example 1 - Click Wrench Torque Measurement For this example, we are going to check a Click Torque wrench set to 50 N·m with an accuracy of +3% / -3% 1. We will go through Transducer connection, T-Box™ 2 powerup, mode selection, simple target creation, doing a measurement, and finally saving the result. - Page 31 21. You should now be on the Targets New Screen having set up a 50 N·m Torque only target with +3% / -3% Limits and CW only. 22. When you have checked that, tap SAVE (You should now be on the Targets Select Screen) 23.
