MULTITEST Indicator Torque/Force Calibration

Improper calibration can result in torque

measurement errors. Follow these procedures

precisely. If an error is made in the procedure, turn

the indicator off and begin again. Users are

responsible for the results of their calibration.

Equipment

Laboratory grade millivolt meter for calibration measurements

capable of resolving 1/100 millivolts.

Calibration fixture as shown in Figure 5-1.

Procedure

IMPORTANT

1. With the power off, plug the calibration fixture into the

TRANSDUCER INPUT connector at the back of the

MULTITEST Indicator.

2. Turn the power on. After initialization:

— LED display reads:

NO INPUT

— LCD display reads:

No Transducer Connected

3. Press CAL. LED display reads with least significant digit

(LSD) flashing:

4. Using the DIGIT right and left keys and the up and down

VALUE keys enter the following code into the display:

5. Press ENTER.

— The LCD display reads

Calibrate tester - upper line

STEP 1 Supply mv - lower line

6. Using a laboratory millivolt meter, measure the voltage

across pins 2 (ground) and 19 (gage excitation) of the

calibration fixture.

CODE0000

CODE5111

— The LED display banners the message shown below

followed by the last excitation voltage programmed:

CALIBRATING VOLTAGE (mV)

3023.79 (example voltage)

Example:

3023.79 millivolts
