Using the Multitest

Torque Calibration System

The 2000-610-02 Indicator is designed to work specifically with

the MULTITEST series of smart transducers for measuring

torque. The MULTITEST series transducers contain a memory

chip that identifies the transducer range and calibration

parameters to the Indicator.

This chapter contains information on how to test, measure, and

use the MULTITEST Torque Calibration System.

Testing Torque Wrenches and Drivers

To use the MULTITEST Torque Calibration System for torque

wrench testing, a transducer of the appropriate range is fitted to

the 2000-600-02 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 2000-600-02 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 check points. 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 2000-600-02 Loader.

• Before changing or replacing transducers, adjust SET HIGH

and SET 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 SET

HIGH and SET LOW limits after changing the transducers

and be careful not to exceed the wrench capacity.

The procedures provided are general. You may use or establish

your own testing procedures, techniques or standards.
