Zero resetting should only be performed if the TruCheck™ 2 Plus won’t zero in Track mode. If this is the
case the transducer may have been overstrained.
If the reading is unstable the TruCheck™ 2 Plus should be returned to a supplier approved agent for repair. It
is recommended to get the TruCheck™ 2 Plus recalibrated as soon as possible after resetting the zero.
Make sure no torque is being applied to the TruCheck™ 2 Plus and remove any tools from the input drive
when resetting the zero.

USB Port
The USB port provides the power for the TruCheck™ 2 Plus. The supplied USB lead can also be used to
connect the TruCheck™ 2 Plus to a PC for communication of torque readings.
Connect the TruCheck™ 2 Plus to the PC and a virtual com port will appear in device manager. This com port
should be selected and configured to suit the program being used to display the torque readings.
Torque readings will be sent to the PC whenever the RESET button is pressed in any mode and when a peak
value is reset (either manually using the RESET button in Dial or Click mode or when auto-reset triggers in
Click mode).
If the PC doesn’t detect the TruCheck™ 2 Plus correctly (e.g. if running Windows 7 rather than Windows 10)
download the USB driver from the Norbar website.
The USB port can also be used to update the TruCheck™ 2 Plus software.
