Warning
●Prepare a safety circuit outside the TM200 so that the entire system functions safely
if the TM200 fails or malfunctions.
●Be sure to contact our sales representative before use if the TM200 will be used in
the following situations:
- In an environment not described in the operation manual;
- In a way that causes substantial effects on medical devices, transportation equipment,
entertainment devices, safety devices, etc.
●Do not disassemble, repair or alter the TM200. Fire or electric shock may occur.
●Do not install the product in the following environments:
- Locations with corrosive gases or combustible gases;
- Locations over which water, oil, or chemicals splash.
●Do not connect commercial power supply directly to the main unit.
(Be sure to use the dedicated AC adapter included.)
●Do not connect AC adapters other than the dedicated adapter included for the TM200 to
the power input connector.
●Be sure to check wiring and so on carefully before turning the power on.
●Use power supply voltage within the rated range.
●Do not damage the power cords. Fire or electric shock may occur.
●Electric shock may occur inside the main unit when the cover is opened.
Internal capacitors are charged even when power supply is cut off.
Contact us for inspection and repair of internal parts.
●In case of smoke, abnormal smell or abnormal noise, unplug the adapter from the outlet
and the USB cable from the PC immediately.
Events that may cause death or severe
injury to personnel in case of misuse.

Caution
●Do not install the product in the following environments:
- Locations where temperature or humidity exceeds specifications;
- Locations subject to drastic temperature fluctuations or icing and condensing;
- Outdoors or locations above 2,000m;
- Locations exposed to direct sunlight;
- Locations subject to dust accumulation;
- Locations with poor ventilation;
- Locations with excessive salt and metal powder;
- Locations where the main unit is subject to direct vibration and shock.
●Perform adequate shielding if the product is used in the following locations:
- Near power lines;
- Locations subject to strong electric field and magnetic field;
- Locations subject to noise such as static electricity and relays.
●Install the product as far away as possible from equipment generating high frequency, high
voltage, large current, surge, etc. Perform wiring of cables separately from these power
lines. Do not perform parallel wiring and identical wiring.
●Do not use the product if it is damaged.
●Be sure to have a time interval of five seconds or longer between turning the power on and
off or between the USB cable plugging in and unplugging.
●Use only after warming up for 30 minutes or longer following the start of power supply.
●Protective performance of the TM200 may be lost if it is not used as specified.
●Cleaning
- During cleaning, unplug the adapter from the outlet and the USB cable from the PC.
- Do not wipe with a wet cloth, benzine, thinner, alcohol, etc. Doing so may cause
discoloration or deformation of the TM200. When dirty, clean the product with a cloth
soaked in diluted neutral detergent and squeezed and then wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
●Although the TM200 is considered to be sufficiently shock absorbing during delivery, reusing
the same packaging materials may damage the product when a shock is encountered. When
sending this product to us for repair and so on, pack it with sufficiently shock-absorbing materi-
als.
●Dispose of as industrial waste.

1-1. Main features of the TM200
●This is a simple torque monitor to check and fetch the data of the rotation torque meter in
the UTMⅡseries easily.
●In addition to torque, rotation speed and power can also be displayed on the PC.
●Up to 1000 files of waveform data from 0.1 to 1000 seconds can be fetched in CSV format
on the PC.
●While fetching the waveform data, a level trigger function is available, which prompts
fetching when a level change occurs in torque, rotation speed or power.
●Waveform data is displayed in graphs which are easy to check. Furthermore, the
maximum, minimum and average values can also be displayed.

The following precautions are related to connection.
The precautions described in this text are important contents regarding safety.
Connect this product with accurate understanding of the contents.
2-1. Connection procedure
Connection of power input connector
The dedicated AC adapter for the TM200 is connected to
the power input connector of the main unit.
Connection of UTMⅡ
The connection with UTMⅡcan be easily performed with the dedicated cable included. Both ends
of the connector have the same shape, and the cable is connected straight. Since the cable has no
directionality, either side of the connector may be connected to UTMⅡand TM200.
Connect UTMⅡwhile paying attention to the direction of the arrow on the connector.
Warning
●Do not connect commercial power supply directly to the main unit.
●Be sure to check the wiring and so on carefully before turning the power on.
●Be sure to use the dedicated AC adapter included for the TM200.

●Pin assignment
* The wire colors correspond with the color of cable included with UTMⅡ.
* Compatible connector: HR30-6P-6P (manufactured by HIROSE ELECTRIC CO., LTD.)
(Model without optional connector: CN90)
Connection of the USB cable
The USB cable included enables easy connection to the
PC.
Do not connect the USB cable if TM200 is being
connected with the PC for the first time. Refer to P.6
"3-2.PC preparation" for connection procedures.
Once the USB cable is connected, the TM200 turns on due
to power supply from the USB cable, and POWER/ALM
lamp (red) lights on or lights off once or twice.
Connection to the outlet
After connecting to UTMⅡ, the AC adapter is connected to the outlet.
Input power is AC100 to 240V (-15%, +10%), free power supply. Frequency is 50/60Hz.
