1 Before commissioning
Before putting the device into operation, check the delivery for any transport damage to the packaging, the plastic case and the device itself. If this is the case, contact SAUTER immediately.
2 General operating information
Functions of the digital torque measuring instrument that are used most frequently (i.e. display of the torque value, peak hold function, zeroing and changing the displayed unit) can be called up by pressing a corresponding button on the front panel (see paragraph Basic functions of the measuring instrument). The setting of the measuring instrument is done with the menu key (see paragraph Main menu).
3 Initial commissioning
The SAUTER DB digital torque measuring instrument is equipped with a battery set consisting of 4 rechargeable AAA NiMH batteries. To be on the safe side, the rechargeable batteries are completely discharged for transport and separated from the power supply. Insert batteries before using the unit for the first time. To achieve maximum battery life, recharge the batteries for at least 14-16 hours using the mains adapter supplied.

6 Operating the torque measuring instrument DB
6.1 Before commissioning
It must be ensured that the measuring plate is neither loaded nor exposed to any other force when the device is switched on.
6.2 Switching on the device
There are 8 keys arranged on the control panel.
To switch on the device, press the ON/OFF button. A brief autotest will then be performed, during which the display will show the permissible load value in Newtons.
As soon as the autotest is performed, zero values are displayed, provided that the measuring plate is unloaded. This is because the meter is automatically zeroed during the autotest procedure.
Please do not overload the load sensor! Risk of irreparable damage! If the torque value exceeds 120% of the full scale range, an acoustic signal is triggered and the symbol OL (eng. overload) appears on the display. If this is the case, remove the test load and then press the RESET key. Pressing the ON/OFF key switches the unit off.
When switching off, all current settings are saved, so that the same operating mode is selected when switching on again.
6.3 Basic functions of the device
The torque gauge can display the torque value for both clockwise (clock-wise, CW, symbol: ) and counter-clockwise (CCW, symbol: ) operation.

6.3.1 CW/CCW torque value display Symbol

Load indicator beam of the clockwise rotation
Symbol

clockwise
Load indicator beam of the counterclockwise rotation
The load indicator bar of the rotation is used to display the load to which the load sensor is exposed. When turning clockwise (CW), the load indicator bar moves from right to left. When turning counterclockwise (CCW), the load indicator bar moves from left to right.
6.3.2 Zeroing the display During operation it is often necessary to zero the display so that the values already
displayed are not taken into account in the next measurement. To do this, press and then release the ZERO button.
6.3.3 Changing the measuring unit Depending on the permissible load of the measuring instrument used, the following
measuring units are available: N-m, kgf-cm, kgf-m, in-lbf, ft-lbf. To change the measuring unit, press the UNITS key. Each time this key is pressed again, another measuring unit is displayed until the originally set measuring unit is displayed. During the selection process, the measurement results are automatically converted. Important! It must be remembered that not all units of measurement are always
available. This depends on the permissible load of the respective instrument.
DB-BA-e-2020 7
6.3.4 Changing the measuring mode The following measuring functions are available: Track, First Peak-Torque and Peak-
Torque. The measuring function is changed by pressing the MODE button. Pressing this key again selects the following measuring function until the originally set function is displayed.
6.3.5 Track function Press and hold the MODE button until the display shows the name of the measurement function "Track". The torque value for the rotation detected by the load sensor is displayed. The measurement results are displayed continuously:
Symbol of the track function
6.3.6 first peak torque function
Press and hold the MODE key until the display shows the designation of the measuring function "F-Peak". The first torque peak value is displayed:
Symbol of the first-peaktorque function
6.3.7 Peak torque function
Press and hold the MODE key until the display shows the name of the measurement function "Peak". The highest measured torque value is displayed:
Symbol of the Peak torque function
6.3.8 Resetting the device
Stored peak values of both types are deleted with the RESET button. This also enables the acquisition of further peak values.
8 DB-BA-e-2020
6.3.9 Display backlight
By pressing any key, the backlight of the display switches on for 60s. The same applies if the torque value detected by the load sensor will be higher than 0.5% of the full scale range.
6.3.10 Saving measured values
Measured values can be saved at any time. To do this, press the MEM/ENTER key. The memory capacity allows you to store up to 500 measurement results, including measurement units.
6.3.11 Output signal
The measurement result obtained can be transferred to the PC. It is done by pressing the PRINT key or by interrogating the instrument from the PC. The respective command can be sent via RS232 or USB.

6.4.2 PASS-FAIL This function is used to set the permissible torque range. Thus, the upper and the lower
limit value of the torque range are determined. If the torque value falls below the defined range, the display shows the message PASS (OK). If the torque value detected is outside the specified range (above or below the range), the display shows FAIL (NOK). When the PASS-FAIL function is active, the display shows the symbol. To call up the PASS-FAIL menu screen, position the cursor on the PASS-FAIL function using the UP or DOWN arrow keys, then press the ENTER key. The display shows the PASS-FAIL function screen. Press the ESC key to return to the main menu screen.
PASS FAIL MENU
UPPER = 2. 5 N.m
LOWER = 1.0 N.m
Press 'Zero' key to
Clear both values.
Use the LEFT arrow key to position the cursor on the selected value. Set the desired value with the UP or DOWN arrow keys. Press and hold the key to scroll the list. Select the desired measuring unit with the RIGHT key. Press the ENTER key to save the setting made and return to the main menu screen.
The PASS-FAIL function is automatically turned off when the setting of the lower limit (LOWER) and upper limit (UPPER) is 0 N. The LOWER value must be lower than the UPPER value.

6.4.4 CALIBRATION (CALIBRATION)
Calibration of the measuring instrument is carried out by the manufacturer's service personnel. Detailed information in this regard can be obtained from SAUTER's dealer or directly from the manufacturer.
6.4.5 DIAGNOSTIC (DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION)
This function is used to check the status of the load cell. If there are indications that the load cell transformer has been overloaded, it is possible to check the state of the load cell directly. To do this, place the measuring instrument horizontally on a level, horizontal surface and call up the main menu screen. Select the DIAGNOSTIC function with the UP or DOWN arrow keys and press ENTER. The "Diagnostic" menu mask appears on the display. To return to the main menu screen, press the ESC key.
DIAGNOSTIC
OVERLOAD COUNT: 2
Total overload measurement
ORG. OFFSET : +0.4 %
Offset value from the last calibration (%)
CUR. OFFSET : +0.4 %
Current offset value (%)
If the offset value is in the range of 5% to 10%, contact the instrument supplier to have a new calibration performed.
If the offset value exceeds 10%, contact the device supplier to have the load cell replaced. The values given are only approximate values. Calibration/repair of the instrument can be caused by various circumstances. This is due to device-specific parameters of the load cell.

6.4.6 ABOUT (DEVICE INFO)
This function is used to display device-related information (firmware version, model, permissible load, serial number). To enter the ABOUT menu screen, first call up the main menu screen, then position the cursor on the ABOUT function using the UP or DOWN arrow keys, and then press ENTER.

6.5 Measurement methods
In order to achieve higher accuracy of measurements, the torque ratio must correspond to the value specified for the respective device. The bending and torque loads acting on the load cell must be reduced, as they can affect the measurement result. The permissible load according to the specifications on the front of the device must not be exceeded under any circumstances. Otherwise the load cell will be permanently damaged, even in the event of a short-term overload. Such damage is excluded from the warranty.
