Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Minebea OPT-563B Digital Transmitter for flange type torque
transducers using optical transmission.
This instruction manual is a [quick] instruction manual primarily intended to describe the procedure for
calibration by inputting numerical torque values.
For detailed instructions on how to use the OPT-563B, refer to Instruction Manual EN294-1596*.
Note that handling or operating the device incorrectly may result in malfunctions. Read the instruction
manual EN294-1596* thoroughly before use for safety and optimal results.
The guaranteed accuracy when calibrating by inputting numerical torque values will be approximately
1/500 (±0.2% RO).
Note also that symmetry correction cannot be adjusted using numerical input.
Keep this instruction manual in a location where it is readily accessible to end users.

2. Operating Instructions
This section describes how to operate the equipment using the keys on the front panel.
CAUTION
Stop measuring before operating the keys. There is a risk of malfunctioning if the keys are operated
while measurement is in progress.
Key operations in measurement mode are enabled by depressing for approximately 1 second.
2-1. Key
2-1-1. When Operated in Measurement Mode
This selects function mode and is displayed on the setting display.
Function setting or other modes can be selected in this mode.
2-2. Key
2-2-1. When Operated in Measurement Mode
Pressing this button activates the auto-zero function and zeros the torque reading if the value displayed
on the torque display is 10% or less of the maximum value. [A/Z] is also displayed on the status display.
2-2-2. When Operated in Other Modes
Pressing the key when a setting is displayed causes the flashing digit to move to the left in the
sequence 101, 102, 103, 104. (Note that the range of movement will vary depending on the number of
digits and sign displayed.)
2-3. Key
2-3-1. When Operated in Measurement Mode
This cancels the auto-zero function, and [A/Z] disappears on the status display.
2-3-2. When Operated in Other Modes
Pressing the key when a setting is displayed causes the flashing digit to move to the right in the
sequence 104, 103, 102, 101. (Note that the range of movement will vary depending on the number of
digits and sign displayed.)
2-4. Key
2-4-1. When Operated in Measurement Mode
This has no effect.
