Nidec FG-7000T Operation Manual

FG-7000T Digital Torque Gauge
Operation Manual
Operators should wear protection such as a mask and gloves in case
pieces or components break away from the unit under test.
Whether the unit is ON or OFF, DO NOT exceed the capacity of the
sensor. NEVER exceed 120% of the rated capacity, or the torque sensor
will be damaged. At 110% of the rated capacity the display will flash
a warning.
If mounting FG-7000T Series Digital Torque Gauges, use M4 mounting
screws with a maximum insertion depth of 7 mm into the gauge. Hand
tightens mounting screws, DO NOT use tools. Do not use damaged
clamp.
Measure in line torque only. DO NOT attempt to measure forces at an
angle to the sensor – damage to sensor may result.
Do not attempt to repair or alter this instrument. Warranty will be voided
and damage to the unit may result.
Use and store within the stated temperature and humidity ranges, or
damage and failure may result.
If not using this instrument for extended periods of time, remove the
batteries to prevent potential battery leakage from causing product
damage.
DO NOT use tools to over torque the connection adapter. Hand-tighten
only so damage does not occur.
The FG-7000T Series digital torque gauges provide testing flexi-
bility with their external torque sensor input. Torque sensors with
their standard chuck adapter are immediately recognized when
connected to the display base. Units are available for your specif-
ic testing needs in 1 N-m (9 in-lb) 5 N-m (44 in-lb) & 10 N-m (88
in-lb) capacities.
Five selectable modes of operation include: Track for live read-
ings, Peak which records a reading after a programmed decrease,
Auto Peak, which resets after a period of time, First Peak captures
a peak after a drop has been detected, and Auto First Peak which
resets the first peak after a period of time. Preset operation with
programmable torlerance thresholds for a quick pass/fall test is
available in all modes. The display has two selectable operations,
numerical view with directional bar graph or graphical view with
directional bar graph. In graphical view when alarm tolerances are
set, the process is plotted in relation to the upper and lower limit
graph lines. Combined with the go/no go icons, a simple pass/
fail determination is recognized. These high-tech instruments can
data log a reading at the push of a button for simple data acquisi-
tion or be set to continuous data storage. Data can be viewed on
the screen, sent to the optional printer, or loaded to be analyzed
and graphed on the free software program. The 1,000 point mem-
ory with definable groups allows for multiple tests to be recorded
and easily separated upon loading. In addition, the comparator
output can be set up for integration of the instrument into a quality
system for repetitive testing such as on a production line. The
large back-lit, 180° auto-reversible display, CW/CCW directional
bar graph, combined with the dual labeled key pad allows for
usage of the gauge in various positions while still being able to
easily view and operate.
These various features make the FG-7000T the ideal torque in-
strument for various applications such as closing or opening anal-
ysis of containers, valves and door hardware, failure or destructive
torque testing, or almost any torque testing requirement involving
incoming quality inspection, finished goods testing to R&D.
