The Mark-10 Series TT03 Digital Torque Gauge is a precision instrument designed for accurate measurement of torque in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions across a wide range of industrial applications. This device is engineered to provide reliable and consistent performance for various torque testing needs.
Function Description
The primary function of the Series TT03 is to measure and display torque values. It is equipped with a digital display that provides clear and immediate feedback of the measured torque. The gauge is designed to be versatile, accommodating a variety of testing scenarios from simple quality control checks to more complex research and development tasks. Its ability to measure in both directions makes it suitable for applications involving tightening, loosening, or rotational resistance testing. The internal rechargeable battery allows for portable operation, making it convenient for use in different locations without constant access to a power outlet. When connected to an AC adapter/charger, the device can operate continuously while simultaneously recharging its battery.
Usage Features
The Series TT03 is designed with user-friendliness in mind, ensuring ease of operation for both novice and experienced users.
- Power Management: The gauge is powered on by pressing the dedicated power button and powered off by pressing and holding the same button. This simple interface ensures intuitive control over the device's power state. The internal rechargeable NiMH battery provides approximately 7 hours of operation with the backlight turned on and up to 24 hours with the backlight turned off, offering substantial usage time between recharges. This extended battery life is crucial for fieldwork or prolonged testing sessions where power outlets may not be readily available.
- Display and Readout: The digital display provides real-time torque readings, allowing users to monitor measurements as they occur. The clarity of the display ensures that readings can be easily interpreted, reducing the chance of errors.
- Included Accessories: The gauge comes with a comprehensive set of accessories to facilitate immediate use and enhance functionality. A carrying case is provided for safe transportation and storage, protecting the instrument from damage. A chuck key is included for securely attaching and detaching various fixtures or samples to the gauge. The AC adapter, supplied with interchangeable US, EU, UK, or AUS prongs, ensures compatibility with different regional power standards, making the device suitable for international use. A USB cable (type micro B to A) is also included for connecting the gauge to a computer, enabling data transfer and communication with software applications.
- Software Integration: The Series TT03 is designed to integrate seamlessly with Mark-10's MESUR® family of software, significantly expanding its capabilities for data acquisition, analysis, and reporting.
- MESUR® Lite: This free basic data acquisition application allows for simple data tabulation and direct export to Excel. It is ideal for users who need to quickly record and organize measurement data without extensive analysis features. MESUR® Lite is compatible with gauges only.
- MESUR®gauge / MESUR®gauge Plus: These more advanced applications offer comprehensive data tabulation, graphing, analysis, and reporting functionalities. They feature user-configurable start and stop triggers and other tools for detailed testing. MESUR®gauge is compatible with both gauges and test stands, supporting load vs. time or load vs. travel measurements. MESUR®gauge Plus further enhances functionality by adding test stand motion control coordination. Both applications are available for a 90-day evaluation period, allowing users to explore their full potential before committing to a purchase.
- PC Requirements for Software: To utilize the MESUR® software, a PC running Microsoft Windows 7 or later is required. The minimum monitor resolution is 1108 x 758. A USB or RS-232C serial port is necessary for communication. If USB communication is chosen, the Mark-10 USB driver must be installed on the PC.
- Documentation and Support: A comprehensive User's Guide is available for download from the Mark-10 website, providing detailed instructions and information on operating the gauge. This guide is an essential resource for understanding all features and ensuring proper use. Additionally, a USB driver is provided for Mark-10 instruments and the RSU100 RS-232 to USB converter, which is necessary for PC communication. Installation instructions for the driver are included in the user's guide.
Maintenance Features
The Series TT03 is designed for durability and ease of maintenance, ensuring a long operational lifespan.
- Rechargeable Battery: The inclusion of a rechargeable NiMH battery simplifies power management and reduces the need for disposable batteries, contributing to environmental sustainability and lower operating costs. The battery is housed internally within the gauge.
- Calibration Certificate: Each Series TT03 gauge comes with a Certificate of Calibration, affirming its accuracy and adherence to specified standards. This certificate is crucial for quality assurance and compliance in regulated environments, providing documentation of the instrument's performance. Regular calibration, as recommended by the manufacturer, helps maintain the gauge's accuracy over time.
- Robust Construction: Force and torque measuring instruments are sensitive devices that require careful handling. The Series TT03 is built with robust materials to withstand typical industrial environments, but users are advised to review the safety information in the User's Guide to ensure proper handling and prevent damage.
- Software Updates and Support: Mark-10 provides ongoing support for its software, including updates and technical assistance, ensuring that users have access to the latest features and troubleshooting resources. This commitment to support helps maintain the functionality and relevance of the gauge's software ecosystem.
In summary, the Mark-10 Series TT03 Digital Torque Gauge is a versatile, user-friendly, and robust instrument designed for precise torque measurement. Its comprehensive features, including flexible power options, advanced software integration, and thorough documentation, make it an indispensable tool for a wide array of torque testing applications.
