ETS INTRODUCTION

The Norbar Electronic Transducer System (ETS) is a precision instrumentation system, which conforms to EC Directives and safety standards.

The combination of Norbar's instrument and standard transducers (with their own amplifiers) allow precision measurement of torque and force. Various other types of strain gauge transducers can also be used with the system.

The instrument has been designed for robustness, ease of operation, and readability.

Analogue signal processing and memory are used for speed and accuracy, whilst digital signal processing is utilised for clarity and operator convenience.

A signal filter is incorporated for power tool testing in line with ISO standard 5393 - 1994.

A custom liquid crystal display provides a clear, easily read digital readout in engineering units.

Twenty one units of measurement are available, nine torque, eight force, two pressure, angle and length. Verification of units selected is clearly shown on the display.

An analogue trend bar tracks the measured value in steps of 4% of full scale. The bar is always 'live'.

Automatic scale selection by the transducer's amplifier.

The ETS instrument is bi-directional in operation.

RS-232-C output is standard with an internally selectable control word.

ETS CALIBRATION AND REPAIR :- ___________________________________________________

To maintain the specified accuracy it is recommended that the ETS be recalibrated at least once per year.

Recalibration, and repair where necessary, should be carried out at Norbar or by a Norbar approved agent, where all the facilities to ensure the instrument is functioning at maximum accuracy are available.

Alternatively, procedures for calibrating the ETS to the specified accuracy can be found in the ETS service manual Part No. 34213.

MAINS PLUG FITTING :- ____________________________________________________________

If a mains plug is not fitted, follow the plugs own instructions. The following may be useful :

BROWN-LIVE BLUE-NEUTRAL GREEN / YELLOW-EARTH

WARNING! IT IS IMPORTANT THAT LIVE, NEUTRAL AND EARTH ARE ALL CONNECTED BETWEEN THE ETS AND MAINS SUPPLY. IF NO EARTH IS AVAILABLE (2 WIRE MAINS SUPPLY) IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A SEPARATE EARTH IS CONNECTED BETWEEN THE INSTRUMENT CASE (THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND FIXING SCREW IN THE CORNER OF THE BACK PANEL IS IDEAL) AND A SUITABLE EARTH. ALTERNATIVELY THE INSTRUMENT COULD BE POWERED BY BATTERY.

If the plug has an internal fuse, a 1 amp value is recommended.

CLEANING :- ______________________________________________________________________

Do not use abrasives or solvent based cleaners. We recommend a propriety brand of foam based fabric / vinyl cleaner. Use a soft cloth to avoid scratches.

ETS FUNCTIONS - FRONT PANEL

(1) DISPLAY :-_____________________________________________________________________

1a MEASUREMENT VALUE - Shown to 5 digit resolution.

1b UNITS OF MEASUREMENT - 21 possible (9 torque, 8 load, 2 pressure, 1 angle and 1 length.)

1c TREND BAR - Shown along the base of the display as a percentage of transducer full scale. This feature tracks the signal from the transducer in 4% steps and is NOT memorised. It also acts as a warning for potential overload.

1d STOP - This legend will be displayed to indicate 'stop loading' when a peak has been detected in Memory Auto Reset mode. A bleeper will sound when the legend is on.

(2) SELECT UNITS SWITCH (GREEN) :- _______________________________________________

When pressed the units of measurement will step onto the next available unit. Repeated pressing will step through all available units of measurement, then loop round to the start of the list. Changing the units of measurement whilst a signal is stored in the memory will give the correct readout in the reselected units.

NOTE:- Any of the units of measurement in the specification on page 5 can be enabled or disabled by internal switches. Please refer to internal user settings on page 16.

ETS OPERATORS HANDBOOK PAGE 7 OF 30 ISSUE 9.0 OCT 1998

(3) FILTER (BLUE) :- _______________________________________________________________

In the 'FILTER OFF' position, the instrument's frequency response is flat to above 1 KHz.

With the 'FILTER ON', the frequency response is -3dB @ 500Hz. This specification corresponds to ISO standard 5393 - 1994 Rotary tools for threaded fasteners - Performance test method.

(4) 'TRACK / MEMORY' SWITCH (PARCHMENT & ORANGE) :- ____________________________

In 'TRACK' the display tracks the transducer's output signal. This is generally used for calibration.

Selecting the 'MEMORY' mode causes the display to retain the peak value experienced by the transducer.

The ETS features an analogue memory to ensure fast capture of the peak value, together with digital hold to give infinite storage.

(5) 'MEMORY RESET' SWITCH (PARCHMENT) :- _______________________________________

Press to reset the memory when in the 'MEMORY' mode. On reset, the previously memorised value is output via the RS-232-C connector.

NOTE: The memory can be reset with the use of an external remote switch. See page 11.

(6) 'MEMORY AND AUTO RESET' SWITCHES (ORANGE) :-_______________________________

Pressing 'MEMORY' and 'AUTO RESET' switches simultaneously selects memory auto reset mode.

In this mode the ETS holds and displays the first peak of torque. When a peak is detected all following peaks are ignored until the memory resets. The STOP legend will flash and bleep tone sound to give a visual and audible indication to the operator to stop loading. Reset is automatic after a set hold time, this is settable to 1,2,3 or 4 seconds, see internal settings on page 16.

During the cycle the memorised value is output via the RS-232-C connector.

The memory auto reset mode is primarily intended for testing preset (click) torque wrenches and torque screwdrivers.

This mode is used in conjunction with the 'AUTO RESET TRIGGER LEVEL % OF FULL SCALE' knob (7), see following description for it's function.

ETS OPERATORS HANDBOOK PAGE 8 OF 30 ISSUE 9.0 OCT 1998

(7) 'AUTO RESET TRIGGER LEVEL % OF FULL SCALE' (ORANGE) :- ______________________

The trigger level setting is used to adjust the sensitivity of the memory auto reset mode that was discussed in (6) on the previous page. It dictates the amount (as a % of transducer full scale) by which the signal must fall below the peak signal for the peak signal to be held and the auto reset to operate.

By setting it is possible to ignore small ranging peaks in the transducers signal in preference to the required larger peak.

When the trigger level is set to a low value (e.g. 0.7%) the auto reset will trigger on a small peak in the transducer's signal.

When set to a higher value (e.g. 10%) the auto reset will trigger on a larger peak, ignoring smaller peaks.

The setting is analogue, so allowing for infinite setting resolution within the allowable range.

As an example of the trigger level setting, the operation of a torque wrench is explained in the graph below and guide on the opposite page.

GRAPH showing capture of FIRST PEAK OF TORQUE in memory, when a preset (click) type torque wrench is being tested with the ETS in the 'memory auto reset mode'.

ETS OPERATORS HANDBOOK PAGE 9 OF 30 ISSUE 9.0 OCT 1998

TRIGGER LEVEL SETTING :-________________________________________________________

The trigger level only needs to be set when using the auto-reset mode. The following is a guide to it's setting using a torque wrench as an example.

General rule for setting trigger level for testing preset (click type) torque wrenches : -

1. Note the torque WRENCH MAX CAPACITY .

2. Note the TRANSDUCER FULL SCALE VALUE.

This is usually stated on the transducer housing.

3. Calculate the WRENCH MAX CAPACITY as a percentage (%) of the TRANSDUCER FULL SCALE.

% = WRENCH MAX CAPACITY x 100% TRANSDUCER FULL SCALE

4. Having found the percentage (%) use the following graph to set the trigger level.

The above is only a guide and because different wrenches have different operating characteristics, it may be necessary to try alternative trigger level settings to obtain consistent results. This will be particularly true for very large and very small torque wrenches, and torque screwdrivers.

If obtaining incorrect readings, check wrench setting and operation.

If the auto reset triggers before expected value, set trigger level higher.

If the auto reset does not trigger at click of wrench, set trigger level lower.

INTERNAL BATTERY PACK OPTION

MODULE PART NUMBER 44032

The ETS internal battery pack is mounted in the lid of the instrument. Rechargeable nickel cadmium cells are used, these are not user replaceable.

The battery pack will power the instrument for a minimum of 8 hours continuous use. Recharge time is 16 hours.

To use the instrument on battery power, disconnect mains power and switch 'BATTERY ON / OFF' to 'ON' and select required operating mode, etc. When approximately half an hours battery power life is left in the batteries, a 'LO BATT' message will flash on the digital display. When battery output goes below the voltage at which the instrument will not function correctly (out of calibration), the instrument switches OFF automatically. Once batteries are discharged, switch 'BATTERY ON / OFF' switch to 'OFF'.

To recharge batteries connect the ETS to an AC mains supply (110/120 or 220/240 V AC), and switch 'Power On'. The ETS can be used as normal whilst batteries are charging. There is no maximum charge time for the battery pack, so the ETS can be continuously used on mains without causing damage to batteries.

Note : If the ETS is charged for less than 16 hours or at a mains voltage of less than 110 VAC / 220 VAC then a reduced discharge duration may be expected.

To obtain maximum battery life and performance, it is highly recommended that battery packs are used in a cycle of :-

FULLY DISCHARGE - FULLY CHARGE (minimum 16 hours) - FULLY DISCHARGE

TROUBLE SHOOTING :- ____________________________________________________________

If Battery Pack fails to power the ETS after recharging, check the two fuses protecting the batteries that are mounted on the Battery Pack P.C.B. This is achieved by following the procedure below :-

WARNING! SWITCH OFF THE ETS AND REMOVE THE POWER LEAD. SWITCH THE BATTERY ON / OFF SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION.

1. Remove the two upper most cross head screws on the instrument's front and back panels (four screws in all).

2. Loosen the two lower cross head screws on the front panel half a turn.

3. Lift off the instrument lid.

WARNING! UNPLUG THE BATTERIES FROM THE BATTERY PACK P.C.B. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE FUSES (500 MA ANTI-SURGE), AND RECONNECT ONCE THE FUSES HAVE BEEN REPLACED. IF PROBLEMS ARE STILL INCURRED, RETURN TO NORBAR OR A NORBAR APPOINTED AGENT, FOR EVALUATION.

PRINT INHIBIT CONTROLLER OPTION

PART NUMBER 60167

INTRODUCTION :- _________________________________________________________________

The print inhibit controller is a remote, hand held device for controlling the RS-232-C output from the ETS. This option can be retro fitted to ETS model numbers, 40320 - 40325 inclusive.

The function of this device is to either :

(i) Allow RS-232-C data output as normal, so giving data on each request.

(ii) Completely disable RS-232-C data output.

(iii) Only to allow data RS-232-C output on the next request and inhibit all subsequent requests.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS :- _________________________________________________________

This option can control unwanted RS-232-C data in many applications, including :-

Use with Norbar's range of ISO 1000 and 2000 test rigs, when reversing off the torque after the wrench has operated.

Also with calibration and data collection systems.

DTS DUAL LIMIT DETECTOR OPTION

INTRODUCTION___________________________________________________________________

The ETS dual limit detector option provides an easy and foolproof means of inspection checking, giving indication of Pass or Fail of the device under test.

The limit detector option has two operator adjustable limits (set limits), 'Lower limit' and 'Upper limit. Indication of the LOW, PASS or HIGH states is given by three light emitting diodes (LED's) Amber 'Low', Green 'Pass' or Red 'High', and three logic outputs. A typical application for the logic outputs would be the control of external circuitry.

The two operator set limits also control two internal single pole changeover relays. Either or both limits can be used, depending on selection via the front panel function switch. Either or both limits can be internally selected to be active or latching.

Typical applications for the relays are controlling machinery, or external pass / reject indicators, which can be achieved by connecting to the output connector on the back panel

When outputting data via the RS-232.C connector, an 'L' for low, 'P' for pass or 'H' for high (depending on LED state) will be printed preceding the measured value and units of measurement.

ETS OPERATORS HANDBOOK PAGE 27 OF 30 ISSUE 9.0 OCT 1998

TRANSDUCER AND AMPLIFIER DESCRIPTION

TRANSDUCER :- __________________________________________________________________

All ETS torque transducer shafts are robustly constructed from precision machined and heat-treated specialised stainless steel onto which strain gauges are bonded in the form of a Wheatstone Bridge. These strain gauges vary their electrical resistance in direct proportion to the strain produced in the steel shaft by the applied torque. This small change in resistance causes a change in voltage across the strain gauges, which is amplified by the ETS amplifier module.

The gauges are bonded to the shaft in a configuration that ignores bending moments and other forces, and only responds to the true torque applied. The gauge configuration also helps in maintaining temperature stability.

The ETS powers the strain gauges with a highly stable constant current supply for accuracy.

AMPLIFIER :- _____________________________________________________________________

The amplifier module is individual to each transducer. The amplifier converts the very small signals from the transducer to a suitable signal for display on the instrument. It also selects the correct range and decimal point within the ETS instrument for the transducer (but not the units of measurement). The amplifier also has the zero, span and tests setting controls for the transducer.

Span and test adjustments are factory set on calibration. Together with the coarse zero, the amplifier identification label covers them. These must only be re-adjusted on transducer recalibration.

A fine zero adjustment is made available to the operator so enabling zero of the transducer output at no load (Use adjustment trim tool supplied with the ETS).

TRANSDUCER AND AMPLIFIER SPECIFICATIONS :-____________________________________

This specification is typical for Norbar transducers. For a full specification always refer to individual data sheets or calibration data supplied with transducer and amplifier.

AMPLIFIER SUPPLY FROM ETS 10 V DC.

STANDARD EXCITATION FROM ETS 20.00 mA constant current.

RESOLUTION Infinite.

OPERATION Bi-directional.

CALIBRATION To NAMAS standards at Norbar's own NAMAS laboratory.

SCALE RANGES Multiples of : 1, 2.5 or 5, E.g. : 10, 250, 5000 etc.

BRIDGE RESISTANCE 350 Ohms.

ETS TROUBLE SHOOTING

1. Instrument does not power up.

a) Check the Voltage Selector drawer is in the correct orientation for your mains supply.

b) Check fuse in the voltage selector drawer.

c) Check fuse in mains plug.

2. Displayed user error messages. These error messages will be displayed on the ETS front panel display if the following errors occur : -

a) "ERROR 22 - MULT SEL" : Check the correct amplifier is securely connected and is the right way up.

b) "ERROR 27 - OVERANGE" : Check a transducer is connected and that it has not been taken into an overload state.

c) "ERROR 29 - TOO BIG" : Units of measurement selected not available for transducer connected.

d) "ERROR 30 - TOO SMALL" : Units of measurement selected not available for transducer connected.

e) "ERROR 33 - FIRMWARE" : Switch power to instrument OFF, then ON again at the rear of the ETS. If message does not clear, return ETS instrument to Norbar for evaluation.

3. Required units of measurement are not selectable

a) Conversion from transducer standard units to required units could not be displayed within available digits on display, thus conversion is not allowed.

b) Units required have not been enabled. See page 16.

4. RS-232-C data output not communicating with other equipment

a) Check that control word on the ETS and the equipment receiving data match. See page 16.

b) Check that the baud rate is set to 1200 baud on the equipment receiving data.

c) Check that the connecting lead is wired correctly at both ends, see page 12.

d) Check if equipment receiving data requires the units of measurement inhibited or a leading character. This is particularly applicable when interfacing to Mitutoyo equipment, see page 13.

5. Battery pack option

a) If the battery pack option fails to power the instrument after recharging, check the two fuse protecting the batteries, these are mounted on the battery pack board. To complete this task refer to the trouble shooting section of the integral battery pack option on page 19.

ETS OPERATORS HANDBOOK PAGE 29 OF 30 ISSUE 9.0 OCT 1998

6. Recalibration of instrument

a) If there is any doubt concerning the functionality or accuracy of the ETS instrument, it should be returned to Norbar or an appointed agent for repair / recalibration.

7. Display values changes when transducer cable is moved.

a) This could be due to dirty connectors. Spray electronic contact cleaner into the female end of the transducer cable, shake out excess. Spray into the plug connector on the transducer and scrub with a brush, shake out the excess.

b) This could be caused by broken or loose wires in the transducer lead.

8. Display will not zero with no load applied to the transducer

a) Verify that the serial numbers of the transducer and amplifier match.

b) Put ETS into 'TRACK' mode and adjust the fine zero (marked ZERO on amplifier) clockwise, while watching the display. When the numbers stop increasing, turn the zero adjustment two full turns anti-clockwise. Peel back the upper left hand corner of the amplifier label. Underneath the label is a coarse zero adjustment, adjust this as close to zero on the display as possible. Smooth down label and once again use fine zero adjustment to trim the display to all zeros. Check transducer against a known torque or load as calibration accuracy may have altered. Transducer and amplifier should ideally be returned to Norbar, or a Norbar appointed agent, for recalibration.

9. Transducer will not zero or is not functional.

a) Verify that the serial numbers of the transducer and amplifier match.

b) Check the relationship of the transducer input square drive to the output square drive, the sides must be parallel. If they are not the transducer has been overstrained and may require recalibration or replacement. If the sides are parallel the amplifier may be faulty and both the transducer and amplifier should be returned to Norbar for evaluation.

10. Recalibration of transducer / amplifier

a) If there is any doubt concerning the functionality or accuracy of the transducer and amplifier combination, it should be returned to Norbar, or a Norbar appointed agent, for repair and recalibration.
