CHAPTER 4
CDI 5000-3 TORQUE CALIBRATION SYSTEM SETUP
This chapter contains information on how to test, measure, and use the CDI 5000-3
Torque Calibration System.
Testing Torque Wrenches and Drivers
To use the CDI 5000-3 Torque Calibration System for torque wrench testing, a
transducer of the appropriate range is fitted to the 600TL Manual Loader.
The Loader provides a stop that holds the torque wrench handle fixed and rotates the
transducer under the wrench drive. The system applies a precise, monitored torque to the
wrench. For additional information refer to Chapter 6 600TL Manual Loader.
Selecting a Transducer
When selecting a transducer, choose a single transducer that covers the low to high-end
capacity of the torque wrench. Although possible, it is best not to change transducers
between calibration checkpoints. For example: to test or calibrate a 20 to 100 ft.lb.
wrench, use the 2000-10-02 transducer, which covers the range between 10 and 125 ft. lb.
Installing a Transducer
Install the transducer by lining up the red mark with the “TORQUE” label on the loader.
For additional information refer to 600TL Manual Loader.
• When changing or replacing transducers, adjust HIGH and LOW limits to remain
within the capacity of the tool under test. For additional information refer to Chapter 3
Setting Up High and Low Limits Alert.
• If you must retain the statistical analysis, do not change HIGH and LOW limits after
changing the transducers and be careful not to exceed the wrench capacity.
The procedures provided in this manual are general. You may use or establish your own
testing procedures, techniques or standards.
