SET UP

Preparation

NOTE: If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection

provided by the equipment may be impaired.

1. Assemble neck strap to TTL-HE as shown below if required.

2. Connect transducer to be used, plug transducer lead into TRANSDUCER connector.

3. To output data to an external device (PC or printer) connect to the SERIAL PORT connector.

4. If using with a control or shut-off system, plug into ANCILLARIES connector.

5. The TTL-HE can be powered from mains or battery. Mains power is intended for indoor use within a

light industrial environment and for re-charging the instruments internal battery pack. It is essential to

charge the internal battery for 200 minutes (3 hours & 20 minutes) before battery operation. To charge

the internal battery, connect the a.c. power adapter between the TTL-HE (9 V d.c. input) and a live a.c.

supply.

TIP: Insert 9 V d.c. connector into TTL-HE 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.

TIP: The display backlight is ON when connected to a.c. power.

The TTL-HE can be used whilst the battery is charging.

Recharging is independent of the on/off switch.

The battery can be charged continuously.

MEASURE

1. Set up the TTL-HE as described in the previous section.

2. Turn TTL-HE on.

3. If a ‘SMART’ transducer is connected, the TTL-HE automatically shows TD#1, the transducers capacity

and units. The transducer’s serial number and direction of linearization (if enabled) are also shown. The

instrument then displays the measurement screen.

TD#1

CAPACITY XXXXX N∙m

TRANSDUCER SERIAL # XXXXX

LINEARISED X

NOTE: If the word ‘LINEARISED’ and direction arrows appear on this screen then the TTL-HE is

using a second order polynomial to linearise the transducer.

4. If ‘Menu 2’ is shown, then either:

a) A ‘SMART’ transducer is not connected.

b) The transducer is ‘NON-SMART’.

For ‘NON-SMART’ transducers the transducer details can be saved in the TTL-HE for future use.

Transducer details can be edited, deleted or printed. The last transducer used will always be

retained for quick selection.

Follow ‘measure flow diagram’ in SET UP section & refer to TRANSDUCER INTERFACE section.

TIP: For entry of transducer data, see the ‘USER UNITS’ and ‘USING THE KEY PAD’ sections on

page 11.

5. The TRACK screen is now displayed. Exercise the transducer in required direction of use.

6. Press ‘ZERO’ to zero displayed reading.

TIP: The measurement display may not zero if outside +/-3% of transducer capacity. This may be

due to transducer overstrain. Return defective transducer to Norbar.

7. Select measurement mode required.

TIP: If any measurement mode does not memorise the measurement value, ensure that the

‘TRIGGER FROM’ setting is correct. See SETTING, SETUP/THESHOLDS menu. TRIGGER

FROM can be used to overcome erratic results being obtained.

8. Press to exit any measurement screen and go to SET UP.

Power Saving & Power Down

Battery life can be greatly increased from a minimum of 14 hours by making use of power down. If no key is

pressed or measurement reading taken in the specified time, the TTL-HE will enter power down. The

following will be displayed:

SAVING POWER

PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE

The following features should be noted:

 The POWER DOWN TIME is set in the SETTINGS, POWER DOWN TIME.

 For maximum battery life set POWER DOWN TIME to 1 minute.

 To disable the power down feature set POWER DOWN TIME to 0 (zero).

 The TTL-HE also enters power down when in a set up menu.

 The analogue output will NOT work during power down.

TIP: Check the zero setting of the transducer on return from power down.

When the battery is low there is approximately 20 minutes of use left. In the measure screen a flashing

battery symbol will be seen in the top right hand corner of the display. In a SET UP menu, the following is

displayed:

WARNING #202

BATTERY LOW

PRESS X

When battery is flat the TTL-HE must be turned off or recharged. The following is displayed:

WARNING #201

BATTERY FLAT

SWITCH OFF AND RECHARGE BATTERY

NOTE: From a very flat battery it may take 1 minute of mains power before the display will turn on.

Limits

Limits can be selected In Measure by pressing or .

The target is shown at the top left of the screen and if no limits have been set, the TIME & DATE will be

shown. If limits are available but not selected, ‘↓↑LIMITS OFF’ will be shown.

The limit status is shown in 4 ways:

1. On the display showing LO / OK / HI next to the torque value (updated at 3 Hz).

2. On AMBER / GREEN / RED LED’s on front panel (updated at 208 Hz).

3. On the Serial Port LO / OK / HI is sent before torque value (updated with serial port).

4. On the Ancillaries LO / OK / HI logic outputs (updated at 208 Hz).

TIP: The Ancillaries are updated quickly to give a fast response to an external control system.

NOTE: This difference in update rate may lead to very small differences between the changeover

points.

The LED’s & logic outputs change precisely with increasing torque, and at 0.5% of transducer capacity below

the limit with decreasing torque. This eliminates the logic lines oscillating.

The status of the limits changes as follows:

TRANSDUCER INTERFACE

The Transducer interface has been designed for use with most four wire bridge strain gauge type

transducers.

When used with Norbar ‘SMART’ transducers the calibration data will be automatically known.

For ‘NON-SMART’ transducers up to 20 sets of transducer parameters can be stored in the TTL-HE for ease

of use.

TIP: Mark ‘NON-SMART’ transducers with their stored ‘T’ number for ease of identification.

TIP: Press '#' in track mode to show details of ‘SMART’ transducer in use.

TIP: If any of the transducer’s parameters are changed (i.e. re-calibration of mV/V value), the

transducer’s stored parameters must be edited prior to use. (‘NON-SMART’ only).

Norbar transducers with the following suffix are all suitable for use with the TTL-HE:

Analogue Output

The analogue output is designed for connection to a control system. It is a true analogue value, so has a

very fast frequency response of above 10 kHz. The calibration of the analogue output is factory set and not

adjustable, it is not affected by the instrument calibration.

The output is PIN 5.

If the output is measured against PIN 4 (2.5V) the signal will swing positive for clockwise torque and negative

for anticlockwise torque.

If the output is measured against PIN 3 (0V) the signal will always be positive, with zero torque around 2.5V.

TIP: Some transducers (Norbar Annular type) will give a negative output change for a positive

torque. This is because they are designed to measure reaction torque.

The output voltage is a function of the mV/V value. The larger the mV/V value the larger the analogue output

voltage. At transducer full scale the analogue output voltage (in volts) is numerically equal to the mV/V value

divided by 2.

TIP: Find the mV/V value by pressing # in the track mode or from the transducer’s certificate.

TIP: The analogue output will not operate in power down mode. If using the analogue output

continuously then disable the power down feature by setting to 0 (zero).

The accuracy of the analogue output is +/- 2% of voltage reading. For a more accurate output value the

voltage can be externally scaled against the displayed torque.

SERIAL PORT

The serial port is for sending data to a PC or serial printer.

When the TTL-HE is measuring, data can be output on the serial interface automatically when the AUTO

RESET timer operates or when the 'PRINT / RESET' key is pressed. The data can include the measured

value, units of measurement and time/date. Output can also be requested externally via pin 2 (ancillaries

connector), see ancillaries section.

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 try:

a) Check that all serial port parameters on the TTL-HE 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.

d) Check if equipment receiving data requires the units of measurement inhibited or a

leading character.

e) Select CONFIRM at the end of the serial port settings, the TTL-HE will keep sending a

‘TEST OUTPUT’ message to help fault finding.

TIP: If the serial output is being overwritten set ‘Output Line Feed’ to YES.

TIP: If the Serial data is being sent too quickly the printer may not keep up, so data is lost. To slow

down the TTL-HE output change the ‘Line delay’ function.

Pulse Count

When in IMPULSE TOOL or CLUTCH TOOL modes, the pulse count is output on the next line following the

measured value. The pulse count will be output as follows ‘_/\_#=XXXX’. XXXX represents the number of

pulses.

21

Hyperterminal

The standard HyperTerminal program found in Microsoft® Windows allows the user to view and store serial

output data. For more information see our web site www.norbar.com and select FAQ.

TIP: Downloading of data can be speeded up by changing the LINE DELAY to 0 SECONDS.

TIP: To regulate the CONTINUOUS OUTPUT, set LINE DELAY to required time period.

Limits

The serial port will output LO / OK / HI 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.

To remove LO / OK / HI set OUTPUT LIMITS to ‘NO‘.
