1.1. Presentation Thank you for choosing CENTOR WIRELESS display for your force and torque testing from ANDILOG. This instrument is the result of over 35 years of experience in force and torque measurement. It incorporates the latest available technologies to deliver industrial-level performance and measurement quality.
The hazards associated with this type of testing require our instruments to be used by experienced and trained operators. Due to the nature and use of the equipment sold by Andilog, the purchaser's acceptance of Andilog Technologies' products constitutes acceptance of the risks and damages that may result from the use of Andilog's instruments.
Instruction manual – 2.04 CENTOR WIRELESS II 2. Getting started The usual functions (display force or torque, display maximum, zero and change units) can be accessed simply by using the keys on the keypad. 2.1. Battery charging Connect the AC adapter to the micro-USB connector on the left-hand side of your instrument. The green LED on the front panel lights up when the battery is charging.
Instruction manual – 2.04 CENTOR WIRELESS II S9 sensor: Maximum tightening torque for mounting and accessories: • For load cells up to 10kN: 50Nm (M12) • For 20kN load cells: 200Nm (M24x2) • For 50kN load cells: 500Nm (M24x2) Mounting direction: Strain gauge zone 2.2.2.
On the back of the display there are 2xM5 and 2x10-32 threaded holes which can be used to mount the Centor Wireless II on an ANDILOG frame. Each ANDILOG frame is supplied with a special spacer and fixing screws for this purpose.
• Serial number • Firmware version After the start screen, the Centor Wireless II will display a search screen. It is looking for the Bluetooth devices available. It could take about 30 seconds to display all the devices. Select your sensor in the list using the up and down arrow of the keyboard and press the button Connect.
All settings are stored in memory when the force gauge is switched off. The force gauge will operate with the same settings when switched back on (unit, display order). 3.2. Switching off To switch off the Centor Wireless II, press and hold the button until the instrument switches off (5 seconds). - 10 -...
Instruction manual – 2.04 CENTOR WIRELESS II 3.3. Measurement screen Battery indicator: varies between 0% and 100% to show battery life. When the battery is new, it will last approximately 15h in continuous use. When the battery percentage reaches 0%, the force gauge switches off.

If Value 1 and Value 2 have a value, then there are 2 thresholds set. In this case, if the maximum force exceeds Value 1, the Centor Wireless II emits a beep and/or the values turn green. If the maximum force exceeds Value 2, the values change to orange.
Ground All grounds are connected together. IN 1 and IN 2 operation: Centor Wireless II detects the activation of an IN1 or IN2 input when the input in question is connected to ground. OUT 1 and OUT 2 operation: When the outputs are deactivated, they are in a floating state. When activated, they are grounded.
