OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
1. Mounting Positions
Securely mount the Pro-Test transducer in the plane of
operation required with the 2 fixing bolts supplied. This can
be to a bench top, wall, or the mounting bracket part number
62198 (not included).
IMPORTANT: THE WHOLE OF THE TRANSDUCER
MUST ALWAYS BE IN CONTACT WITH
THE SUPPORTING SURFACE.
Clockwise Only Calibrating / Testing
Torque tighten to 20 N∙m. (or hand tighten bolts with hex key provided)
Anti-Clockwise Only Calibrating / Testing
Torque tighten to 20 N∙m. (or hand tighten bolts with hex key provided)
Clockwise and Anti-Clockwise Calibrating / Testing
IMPORTANT: BOLTS MUST BE TORQUE TIGHTENED TO 50 N∙m.
REPLACE BOLTS (PART NUMBER 25492) IF REMOVED.

2. Locating Display Housing
Locate Pro-Test Display housing on to the bolt heads securing the transducer housing. The display housing
and transducer housing can also be secured on to a mounting bracket part number 62198 (not included).
3. Connecting Power Supply
Plug Power Supply into back of display housing then plug power cable into Power Supply.
TIP: If the power cable has no plug fitted, wire as follows:
BROWN-LIVE BLUE-NEUTRAL GREEN / YELLOW-EARTH
If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
4. Switching On
Switch ON Pro-Test (‘I’ in the down position).
WARNING: ALLOW PRO-TEST TO EQUALISE TO THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE/
HUMIDITY BEFORE SWITCHING ON. WIPE OFF ANY MOISTURE BEFORE
USE.
TIP: If there is no display when power is switched on:
a) Check the Power Supply output connector is correctly plugged into the mating part on the
back of the display housing.
b) Check the fuse in the power cable plug.
c) Check that the green LED is illuminated on the power supply.

LIMITS
ISO 6789-1:2017
A. To change the limit target value, use or in any measurement mode. The target value set
is shown on the display. Keep either key depressed for fast target value change.
B. The three calibration points (20%, 60% & 100%) are selected by pressing .
The percentage value selected is shown on the display.
To adjust a calibration point percentage value (e.g. change the first calibration point from 20% to 10%)
use or whilst holding down .
The Pro-Test automatically calculates the limits to ISO 6789-1:2017 by the following method:
Deviation
=
(Displayed reading –Target value)
x
100
Target value
If the 100% target value is set above 10 N∙m, the deviation must be within ± 4%. For a 100% target value of
10 N∙m or below, the deviation must be within ± 6%.
Example: For a 100 N∙m target value
Lower Limit = 96.0 N∙m
Upper Limit = 104.0 N∙m
TIP: For Indicating torque tools (Type I), the Pro-Test is designed for class B, C and E tools. Tools
of class A and D should only be used with capacities of 10 N∙m or below.
For Setting torque tools (Type II), the Pro-Test is programmed for Class A, B and C tools.
Tools of class D, E, F and G should only be used with capacities of 10 N∙m or below.
TIP: The maximum target value in lbf∙ft (ft∙lb) is 50 lbf∙ft for the Pro-Test 60 and 300 lbf∙ft for the
Pro-Test 400.

NON ISO 6789-1:2017
NON ISO 6789-1:2017 limit mode allows the user to set upper and lower limits from 0% to 99% of the target
value.
A. To change the limit target value, use or in any measurement mode. The target value set
is shown on the display. Keep either key depressed for fast target value change.
UPPER LIMIT = TARGET + % OF TARGET
LOWER LIMIT = TARGET - % OF TARGET
The default % OF TARGET is set to 4%. See the SET UP section to change the default value.

Transmitted data voltage levels are between +5 to +9 volts and –5 to -9 volts.
Configured as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) and conforms to RS-232-C specifications.
TIP: If the serial port is not communicating with other equipment:
a) Check that control word on the Pro-Test and the equipment receiving data match.
b) Check that the baud rate is set to the same as the equipment receiving data.
c) Check that the connecting lead is wired correctly at both ends if not using the lead
supplied.
d) Check if the equipment receiving data requires the units of measurement inhibited or a
leading character.
TIP: If the serial output is being overwritten set ‘OUTPUT LINE FEED’ to YES.
Hyper Terminal
The standard Hyper Terminalprogram found in Microsoft®Windows allows the user to view and store serial
port output data.

Limit Output
The serial port will output LO / OK / HI before the torque value when the limits are being used.
Some software, including the Norbar ‘Torque Wrench Calibration Software’ (Part 37705.XXX), will not accept
LO / OK / HI characters.

MAINTENANCE
Pro-Test Calibration
Your Pro-Test has been supplied with a certificate of calibration. To maintain the specified accuracy it is
recommended that the Pro-Test is recalibrated at least once per year. Re-calibration should be carried out at
Norbar or by a Norbar approved agent, where all the facilities to ensure the instrument is functioning at
maximum accuracy are available.
Cleaning
Do not use abrasives or solvent based cleaners.
