Warning
●Prepare a safety circuit outside the TM201 so that the entire system functions safely
if the TM201 fails or malfunctions.
●Be sure to contact our sales representative before use if the TM201 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 TM201. 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 TM201 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.

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 TM201 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 TM201. 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 TM201 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 TM201
●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.
