Series TT05 Digital Torque Testers User’s Guide 2 POWER The TT05 is powered either by an 8.4V NiMH rechargeable battery or by an AC adapter. Since these batteries are subject to self discharge, it may be necessary to recharge the unit after a prolonged period of storage. Plug the accompanying charger into the AC outlet and insert the charger plug into the receptacle on the tester (refer to the illustration below). The battery will fully charge in approximately 8 hours.

Series TT05 Digital Torque Testers User’s Guide 5 OPERATING MODES Caution! In any operating mode, if the capacity of the instrument has been exceeded by more than 110%, the display will show “OVER” to indicate an overload. A continuous audible tone will be sounded (if beeps are enabled) until the MENU key has been pressed or the load has been reduced to a safe level. Three operating modes are possible with the TT05 torque tester. To cycle between the modes, press MODE while in the home screen. 5.
Series TT05 Digital Torque Testers User’s Guide DIGITAL FILTERS (1 = Fastest) Current Reading 8 Displayed Reading 1024 Two filters are available: Current Reading – Applies to the peak capture rate of the instrument. Displayed Reading – Applies to the primary reading on the display. Available settings: 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024. It is recommended to keep the current reading filter at its lowest value for best performance, and the displayed reading filter at its highest value for best stability.
Series TT05 Digital Torque Testers User’s Guide 8.3 Set Point Indicators When set points are enabled, the following indicators are shown to the left of the primary reading: – the displayed value is greater than the upper load limit (NO GO HIGH) – the displayed value is between the limits (GO) – the displayed value is less than the lower load limit (NO GO LOW) Note: Set point indicators reference the displayed reading, not necessarily the current live load.
Series TT05 Digital Torque Testers User’s Guide Press ENTER to delete the value. To exit Delete mode, press DELETE again. Any number of readings may be individually deleted, however, all readings may also be cleared simultaneously. Refer to the Clear All Data sub-section for details. 9.2 Statistics Statistical calculations are performed for the saved values. Calculations include number of readings, minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation. 9.
Series TT05 Digital Torque Testers User’s Guide 10 COMMUNICATIONS & OUTPUTS Communication with the TT05 tester is achieved through the micro USB or 15-pin serial ports located in the rear of the housing, as shown in the illustration in the Power section. Communication is possible only when the tester is in the main operating screen (i.e. not in a menu or configuration area). 10.
Series TT05 Digital Torque Testers Selection Numeric + Units Numeric Only Invert Polarity Omit Polarity User’s Guide Description Output format includes the value and unit of measure. Clockwise values have positive polarity, counter-clockwise values have negative polarity. Output format includes the value only. Polarity same as above. Clockwise values have negative polarity, counter-clockwise values have positive polarity. May be selected in addition to the Numeric + Units / Numeric Only selection.
Series TT05 Digital Torque Testers RS232/USB Output Mitutoyo Output Memory Storage User’s Guide Outputs data via the serial and USB ports Outputs data via Mitutoyo (Digimatic) through the serial port Stores a reading to memory (refer to the Memory section for details) Any combination of the above functions may be selected. 10.6 I/O Connector Pin Diagram (female) Pin No.
Series TT05 Digital Torque Testers User’s Guide 11 BREAK DETECTION 11.1 Configuration Three functions can be triggered automatically upon sample break or slip, defined as a programmable percentage drop in load from the peak: 1. Transmit the peak reading 2. Save the peak value to memory 3. Zero the primary and peak readings These automatic functions can help automate and expedite testing processes. If beeps are enabled, an audible tone will sound when the output, storage, and zero functions have occurred.
Series TT05 Digital Torque Testers User’s Guide 11.3 Auto Output Settings Select the output type. One or both output types may be enabled. The display will appear as follows: AUTO OUTPUT SETTINGS RS232/USB Output Mitutoyo Output Note: The same auto save/output/zero functions are available in First / Second Peak mode. Refer to the First / Second Peak section for details.
Series TT05 Digital Torque Testers User’s Guide 12.2 Settings The display will appear as follows: PEAK SETTINGS Thresh. 1: 10 % % Drop 1: 50 % Thresh. 2: 10 % % Drop 2: 50 % Auto Zero Delay 5 sec. Threshold 1 Percentage Drop 1 Threshold 2 Percentage Drop 2 Auto Zero Delay Sets the percentage of full scale at which the first/second peak detection feature becomes active. This threshold is provided to ignore peaks that can occur during sample handling.
Series TT05 Digital Torque Testers User’s Guide 11 CALIBRATION 11.1 Initial Physical Setup The TT05 should be mounted to a fixture rugged enough to withstand a load equal to the full capacity of the instrument. A groove located in the side of table has a diameter of 6.666” [169.32 mm], and may be used to accept a cable for calibration weights. This eliminates the need for a torque arm or torque wheel, especially when using lb weights.
Series TT05 Digital Torque Testers User’s Guide CALIBRATION OFFSET Please wait… CALIBRATION OFFSET CALIBRATION OFFSET Sen.Offset Adj.Passed Ana.Offset Adj.Passed Sen.Offset Adj.Failed Ana.Offset Adj.Failed If failed: 5. The following screen appears after the offsets have been calculated: CALIBRATION CLOCKWISE Attach necessary weight fixtures. THEN PRESS ENTER Attach weight fixtures (cable attachment, cable, hook, etc), as required. Do not yet attach any weights or apply any calibration loads.
Series TT05 Digital Torque Testers User’s Guide CALIBRATION CLOCKWISE GAIN ADJUST APPLY FULL SCALE LOAD 50.000 LBFIN +/-20% THEN PRESS ENTER Apply torque equal to the full scale of the instrument, then press ENTER. Remove the torque, leave the fixtures in place, then press ZERO. 9. The display will appear as follows: CALIBRATION CLOCKWISE APPLY LOAD 1 OF 5 ENTER LOAD: 10.000 LBFIN THEN PRESS ENTER Use the UP and DOWN keys to adjust the torque value as required.
Series TT05 Digital Torque Testers User’s Guide CALIBRATION Units must be kgFmm. PLEASE TRY AGAIN PRESS ENTER Displayed at the start of calibration if a disallowed unit is selected. LOAD NOT STABLE PLEASE TRY AGAIN Ensure that the load is not swinging, oscillating, or vibrating in any manner. Then try again. CALIBRATION CLOCKWISE LOAD TOO LOW PLEASE TRY AGAIN The calibration load does not match the set value.
Series TT05 Digital Torque Testers User’s Guide 12.1 Calibration Password Select Calibration from the sub-menu. The display will appear as follows: CALIBRATION PASSWORD * Disabled Enabled Set Password (0000 – 9999) 5000 To set the password, select Enabled, then Set Password. Use the UP and DOWN keys to increment and decrement the value, from 0 to 9999. When the desired value has been selected, press ENTER, then ESC to exit the sub-menu. 12.
Series TT05 Digital Torque Testers User’s Guide 13 OTHER SETTINGS 13.1 Automatic Shutoff The tester may be configured to automatically power off following a period of inactivity while on battery power. Inactivity is defined as the absence of any key presses or load changes of 100 counts or less. To access these settings, select Automatic Shutoff from the menu. The display will appear as follows: AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF * Disabled Enabled Set Minutes 5 Select Disabled to disable automatic shutoff.
Series TT05 Digital Torque Testers User’s Guide 13.3 LCD Contrast The contrast of the display may be adjusted. Select LCD Contrast from the menu. The screen will appear as follows: LCD CONTRAST Set Contrast 10 Press ENTER to modify the contrast. Select a value from 0 to 25, with 25 producing the most contrast. 13.4 Beeps Audible tones can be enabled for all key presses and alerts, such as overload, set point value reached, etc.
Series TT05 Digital Torque Testers User’s Guide 14 SPECIFICATIONS 14.1 General Accuracy: Sampling rate: Power: ±0.3% of full scale 7,000 Hz AC or rechargeable battery. Low battery indicator appears when battery level is low, and tester powers off automatically when power reaches critical stage.
