I. INTRODUCTION TO THE GYROTORK
Thank you for choosing the GYROTORK gauge manufactured by ANDILOG Technologies.
This torque gauge is the result of 25 years experience in torque and torque measurement with new
electronic technologies offering a higher-performance and more reliable instrument.
Though it is a very comprehensive instrument, the GYROTORK torque gauge is easy to use. This
instruction manual will guide you to set your first measurements.
DEFINITIONS:
•Internal Channel or V1: Torque transducer wrench
•External Channel or V2 or SPIP: Angle sensor
Output : RS232, USB, TOR
Color Touch Screen
Display Curve : Torque/Time
Connectors for additional
sensors: torque, displacement
or angle using our SPIP
technology
Rotating Screen
User friendly menu

II. HANDLING
CAUTION - Unpacking: Your GYROTORK torque gauge has been supplied in its carrying case. Check
that it has not been damaged during transport. If you have any doubt, please contact us and our
service support will you guide you through simple checks to ensure that the gauge has not been
damaged.
1. Unpacking
The GYROTORK gauge is supplied with:
•A carrying case (according to your setup)
•A power plug adaptor
•A torque Certificate of calibration
2. Recommendation before first use
a.Battery
The battery reaches its maximum capacity after several charges. This is very important! A new
torque gauge has a battery that does not have its full capacity at the first power on. The torque
gauge will shut down automatically if the battery is too low.
The battery life is 8 hours under normal use. The gauge should be charged after normal use. You
should charge it every 3 weeks, to ensure maximum life of the batteries.
It is recommended to use the original power adaptor supplied by ANDILOG Technologies. The power
adaptor has the following specifications: 12V, 1.5A
b.Sensor
In spite of its mechanical protection, sensor overload can damage the instrument. The
instrument stops if its capacity has been exceeded 10 times. If you overload it 10
times, you have to return it to ANDILOG TECHNOLOGIES for checking.
It is important that measured values are under 90% of the sensor’s capacity.
c. Test Stand
The display can be affixed to a test stand via two M5 or two 10-32 screws, which
should not extend through the back cover more than 3 mm. Please contact ANDILOG Technologies if
you need more information or if you need a fixture to mount your torque gauge to a test stand.
d.Conditions
•Working Temperature: 0°C to +35°C
•Stock Temperature: -20°C to +45°C
•Humidity: 5% to 95%
•Altitude: 3000m

3. Starting your torque gauge
Press the ON/OFF button, the information screen showing the status of the GYROTORK torque gauge
is displayed for 5 seconds and then the main screen is displayed.
Battery condition: Displays the battery’s state
Date: Display the date according to the format DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY setup under the
maintenance menu (see chapter “maintenance”).
Software version: indicates the software version installed on the torque gauge
Internal and External sensor: show the type of sensor (torque, displacement or angle) and its
condition.
•A red X indicates a disconnected sensor or a major failure.
•A red exclamation point! Indicates a minor issue on the sensor - An overload or a calibration
date pasted.
Sensor Information: The GYROTORK gauge detects when turned ON, the internal and external
sensors are connected. External sensors are linked to GYROTORK Gauge through a special connector
called SPIP.
•For a GYROTORK Dual, both sensors (internal and external) are simultaneously scrutinized
The following information regarding the sensor is displayed:
•V1 for internal or V2 for external.
•Date the next calibration is due
•Number of overloads

4. Main screen –Measurement
After the starting (identification) screen, you access the main measurement screen as displayed
below. According to the configuration of your GYROTORK, some information will be displayed, or not.
Note: the described parameters below are part of the default configuration
1. Information bar - The name of your device and battery status are displayed: Low battery
indication: pictogram indicating the battery power status via 4 horizontal lines which respectively
symbolize 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of power. Press this field to access to the Main MENU
2. Sensor Capacity: The capacity and unit of your device is displayed at any time, even for additional
remote external sensor.
3. Bar Graph: A black line represents the applied torque. If the bar graph is full, it means that the
sensor’s maximum range is reached: risk of overload! If the “limit set points” are activated, colors
may change according to the current applied value (see dedicated chapter).

details.
6. Value name: displayed in the main and auxiliary displays is shown in the upper left corner of each
screen. We will see in Chapter IV how to change the displayed value.
7. Sensor direction: An easy-to-remember small symbol indicates the direction of the torque applied
to the sensor: tensile and compression
5. Touch area on the Measure screen
Each area of the measurement screen provides access to the configuration menus of the torque
gauge.

6. Main MENU
To access the main menu, press the green bar at the top of the screen. It will display the main menu:

7. Tare your device:
Touch the main display area to zero-out your torque gauge.
This action tares the gauge. The gauge will take into consideration the weight of accessories (hook or
plate) fixed on the sensor’s rod.
Taking this action resets all memories and peak values.
NOTE: When turned ON the GYROTORK completes several self-tests to check the sensor’s health. It is
possible to leave tools fixed on the torque gauge, but the total weight must not exceed 10% of the
sensor’s maximum capacity.
8. Backlight
When using the torque gauge, the backlight automatically turns off after a preset time of operation.
The total battery life of the GYROTORK will be reduced when the backlight is turned on.
