INTRODUCTION
Torque Screwdriver Tester (TST) is a bench top measuring instrument with an integral
transducer.
The TST is a menu driven system with full control via the front panel keys. The main set up menu
is shown below followed by an explanation of each selection option.
TST has an external millivolt/volt (mV/V) transducer interface. When used with the SMART range
of transducers from Norbar, simply connecting the transducer will automatically set up the TST for
use.
1 LIMITS
The user can set up to 8 target values that each have two settable LIMITS. When operating, the
limit status is indicated on the display i.e. LO, OK or HI and the illumination of the corresponding
yellow, green or red L.E.D. The limits are active after the torque value has passed through 0.5% of
the transducer capacity and then operate as the mode selected, for example;
Measurement mode
Limit operation
Track
Limit status is held until after the auto reset timer has operated.
The limit status shown on the display i.e. LO, OK or HI along with the reading will be output on
the serial port when requested.
The limits set up are password protected (default password = 000000). Set up of the limits
enables the user to define the target (1 to 8), torque units in which limits are to operate, target
value, upper and lower set points, and direction of operation for each target number.
2 CURRENT SETTINGS
CURRENT SETTINGS are system parameters which include; language, password, date / time
setting and format, serial port settings, mode frequency response. They also include first peak
sensitivity, auto reset hold time, trigger from threshold, conversion units, modes of operation and
power down time when in battery operation. All of these settings are password protected (default
password = 000000).
All of the settings for limits and current settings can be printed if print defaults is selected from the current
settings menu. This is not password protected.

1. Secure TST to a flat surface with the 2 bolts and allen key provided.
2. Connect transducer cable between transducer and TST (if required).
3. Connect to Serial data connector and/or Ancillaries connector (if required).
4. Ensure transducer selection (INT/EXT) switch on the right hand side of the TST is in the correct
position for the transducer you wish to use.
5. Switch On/Off switch to On (I in down position) for battery operation. For a.c. power operation,
plug a.c. power adapter into 9 volt DC input then plug power cord into a.c. power adapter. Switch
on. If the power cord has no plug fitted, wire as follows:
BROWN-LIVE
NOTE:-
BLUE-NEUTRAL
GREEN / YELLOW-EARTH
It is essential that the TST is charged for 14 hours on a.c. power to ensure a full battery
charge. TST can be operated from the a.c. power adapter when the batteries are being
charged.
6. The TRACK screen should now be displayed, From here you can go into any measurement
mode. To exit any measurement screen and go into SET UP, press

The suffix after the part number indicates the length of the lead in cm, thus
XXXXX.200 = 2 metres. If Transducer leads are required of a non-standard length, the
new suffix must be added to the part number when ordering (to the nearest metre).
