FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
•The pictorial panel allows easy mode selection for the 6 modes of operation.
Additionally the 4 Peak modes can be configured for automatic reset.
•3transducer connectors.
•Automatically recognisesany ‘SMART’ Norbar transducer.
Can also work with most mV/V transducers from Norbar or other manufacturers.
•13 Torque units, plus the ability to specify USER measurement units up to a maximum
of 6 characters.
•5 digit resolution for all Norbar transducers.
•Operational from internal rechargeable battery or a.c. supply.
•Fast battery charge in 3 hours 20 minutes.
•There are 12 pairs of limits available.
Each limit has a target value and upper and lower tolerances.
The display shows LO / OK / HI with bright LED’s to signal AMBER / GREEN / RED
for easy confirmation. The limit status is also output on the ancillaries connector and serial
port.
•Pulse count feature in ‘Impulse Tool’mode & ‘Clutch Tool’mode.
•User selectable frequency response for each mode of operation.
•Password protection of all selectable features. The instrument can be issued to an operator
with only the required modes of operation and units of measurement enabled. This feature
can virtually eliminate operator induced errors.
•Ancillaries connector with analogue output & GO/NO GO control for external equipment.
•Serial Port for data output to a PC or printer.
Serial Port set up options include:sending time & date, limit status and continuous output.

SET UP
PREPARATION:-_____________________________________________________________
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided
by the equipment may be impaired.
REAR VIEW
1.Connect transducer(s) to be used by inserting transducer cable(s) into the desired transducer
connector(s).
2. Ensure transducer selection switch is in the correct position for the transducer in use (TD#1,
TD#2 or TD#3). See the symbols above the transducer connectors or indication on the TTT
display when power is ON.
3. To output data to an external device (PC or printer) connect to the SERIAL PORT.
4. If using with a control or shut-off system, connect to ANCILLARIES connector.
WARNING! ALLOW THE TTT TO EQUALISE TO THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY
BEFORE SWITCHING ON. WIPE OFF ANY MOISTURE BEFORE USE.
5. The TTT can be powered from mains or battery. It is essential to charge the internal battery
for 200 minutes (3 hours & 20 minutes) for full charge. To charge the internal battery,
connect the a.c. power adapter between the TTT (9 V d.c.input) and a live a.c.supply.
TIP: Insert 9 V d.c. connector into TST before applying a.c. mains to ensure correct
charging.
TIP. If the power cord has no plug fitted, wire as follows:
BROWN-LIVE BLUE-NEUTRAL GREEN / YELLOW-EARTH
If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
TIPS:The display backlight is ON when connected to a.c. power.
The TTT can be used whilst the battery is charging.
Recharging is independent of the on/off switch.
The battery can be charged continuously.

1. LIMITS
The user can set up to 12 target values that each have two settable LIMITS.
To set the limits the following are needed:
Parameter Comment
Target Number Select 1 to 12.
Units for limits Select torque units (or specify USER units).
Target value Torque value required.
Upper limit The % allowed above target.
Lower limit The % allowed below target.
Operate OFF or Clockwise or Anticlockwise or Both directions.
Confirm limits Limit values shown in % of the target value.
Select next target to set up. Press when finished.
For more information see flow diagram on page 7.

2. SETTINGS
Setting Options (defaults) Comment
LANGUAGE ENGLISH (default), FRANCAIS,
DEUTSCH, ITALIANO, ESPAÑOL,
DANSK, NEDERLANDS, SUOMI,
NORSK, SVENSKA, PORTUGUES.
Set language of operation.
PASSWORD Any 6 numeric characters
(default = ‘000000’).Set Password.
DATE & TIME Set date DD/MM/YY or MM/DD/YY.24 hour clock with date.
MODE
FREQUENCY 100Hz to 2500Hz (defaults, see ‘MODES OF MEASUREMENT’
section).
Select mode then select frequency from
list. OTHER FREQUENCY allows a
custom value.
SERIAL PORT See ‘SERIAL PORT’ section. Select required options.
THRESHOLDS FIRST PEAK SENSITIVITY =
LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH
(default = HIGH).
This is the amount by which the torque
must drop to register a first peak.
LOW must drop 10% of reading.
MEDIUM must drop 5% of reading.
HIGH must drop 2.5% of reading.
THRESHOLDS AUTO RESET HOLD TIME =
1 (default) / 2 / 3 / 4 seconds.The time allowed for automatic reset in ‘Click & Cam’ mode.
THRESHOLDS TRIGGER FROM =
0.5% to 99% of transducer capacity
(default = 1.8 %).
This is the point at which any memory
mode starts to work, all memory modes
will ‘TRACK’ below this setting. This
can help overcome false results.
Values entered below 0.5% will act as
0.5%.
THRESHOLDS PEAK MEMORY RESET =
AUTO /MANUAL (default). All Peak modes will reset the highest reading automatically or manually.
UNITS All units (default = all enabled). Turn off unwanted torque units.
MODES All modes (default = all enabled). Turn off unwanted modes.
POWER DOWN
TIME 0 to 99 minutes (default = 10). The time before power down starts. Set to ‘0’ to disable.
PRINT
SETTINGS None.All settings and limit settings can be printed. No password is needed.
TIP: When ⇑or ⇓is shown on screen, this means more menu items are available.
For more information see flow diagram on page 9.
3. RETURN TO MEASURE
This option allows the user to view the measurement screen.
For ‘SMART’ transducers the measure screen is automatically entered.
For ‘NON-SMART’ transducers the option to store transducer details is available.
For more information see flow diagram on pages 7& 8.
