Using the Multitest Toque Calbration System

Measuring Torque and Angle

Although measuring torque and angle is not a torque testing
feature, transducers and the 2000-810-01 Indicator may be
used to monitor torque during fastener installation. The
Indicator can also be set up to monitor "turn-of-the-nut" or angle
of rotation using common bi-directional incremental rotary
encoders for critical fastener installations. Typically, a torque-
angle algorithm is used where the joint is clamped using a
preload torque. The fastener is then rotated a specific number
of degrees regardless of the torque necessary to turn it.

Torque Only

When using the instructions in this section refer to the Torque-
Angle Tutorial
Quick Reference Card that accompanies this
manual.

1. For additional information on setting SET HIGH and LOW

limits alert, Data STORE, display CLEAR, printer SEND
and STATistical analysis features, refer to Chapter
3—Set Up and Programming
.

2. Press UNIT to select the desired engineering unit of

measure as displayed on the LCD display.

3. Press MODE to select TRACK or PEAK HOLD mode.

4. Install the transducer between the fastener and the

wrench or tool.

5. Apply increasing torque until the audible tone indicates

that measured torque matches or exceeds the SET LOW
torque limit. If you match or exceed the SET HIGH
torque limit, the alert sounds a pulsating tone.
