Before You Begin
Transducer Number
You must have a calibrated transducer with a transducer number assigned to it. Always make sure the
TorqueMate® Plus is set to the transducer number that you have attached. Every time you turn on the
TorqueMate® Plus the current transducer number and its associated range will be displayed (depicted
by “c-XX” where XX is the transducer number). Press Enter to confirm that the proper transducer is
attached.
If it is not the proper transducer number you must change it to the correct number or you will be
using incorrect calibration data.
To change the number press the Scroll Right key once - this will activate
the Scroll keys. Now press the Scroll Up or Scroll Right keys until the proper transducer number is dis-
played. Press Enter to select and go into the operation mode.
Battery Charging
The TorqueMate® Plus must be turned "ON" in order to charge the battery.The microprocessor monitors
the charging cycle of the NimH batteries and must be turned on to do so. The TorqueMate® Plus will go
into battery saving PAUSE mode after 5 minutes without use, but will still be charging. The
TorqueMate® Plus can be used when the batteries are low and the AC adapter is plugged in.
The TorqueMate® Plus has two smart charging modes: Trickle and Fast Charge. Charging the
TorqueMate® Plus, without a transducer attached, activates the Trickle Mode. This mode charges the
battery, but there is not a specific time frame when charging will be completed. The Fast Charge Mode
is activated when a transducer is plugged into the port.
Therefore, to achieve the most efficient charging, it is recommended that you charge your unit with a
transducer plugged into the transducer port and the unit turned "ON" to obtain a full charge. See page
22 for further detail on charging of the batteries.
Transducer Selection
Transducer selection is very important. Whenever possible, select a transducer range that is approxi-
mately 2 times the range to be used or tested. If you are typically using the tester at 50 lbf.ft., select a
100 lbf.ft. transducer. This significantly reduces the chance that you will overload and damage the
transducer.
Connecting and Disconnecting Transducers
Do not connect or disconnect a transducer with the TorqueMate® Plus powered on. Connect the trans-
ducer and then power on the TorqueMate® Plus and select the cell that you wish to use for the trans-
ducer. When disconnecting the transducer, turn off the unit and then disconnect the transducer.

Note: When Programming Transducers
The torque range and the measurement units of the transducer are
also shown. The torque range will default to “3333” if a transducer
has never been assigned to the number displayed.
