FG-7000T Digital Torque Gauge
Operation Manual

Operators should wear protection such as a mask and gloves in case
pieces or components break away from the unit under test.

Whether the unit is ON or OFF, DO NOT exceed the capacity of the
sensor. NEVER exceed 120% of the rated capacity, or the torque sensor
will be damaged. At 110% of the rated capacity the display will flash
a warning.

If mounting FG-7000T Series Digital Torque Gauges, use M6 mounting
screws with a maximum insertion depth of 7 mm into the gauge. Hand
tightens mounting screws, DO NOT use tools. Do not use damaged
clamp.

Measure in line torque only. DO NOT attempt to measure forces at an
angle to the sensor – damage to sensor may result.

Do not attempt to repair or alter this instrument. Warranty will be voided
and damage to the unit may result.

Use and store within the stated temperature and humidity ranges, or
damage and failure may result.

If not using this instrument for extended periods of time, remove the
batteries to prevent potential battery leakage from causing product
damage.

DO NOT use tools to over torque the connection adapter. Hand-tighten
only so damage does not occur.

SHIMPO INSTRUMENTS

The FG-7000T Series digital torque gauges provide testing flex­ibility with their external torque sensor input. Torque sensors
with standard chuck adapter are immediately recognized when
connected to the display base and are available for your specific
testing needs in 1 N-m (9 in-lb) 5 N-m (44 in-lb), 10 N-m (88 in­lb) capacities. The multiple-language FG-7000T’s provide menu
programming for easy selection and set-up of the instrument to
your desired requirements. Four selectable modes of operation
include: Track mode for live readings, Peak mode for displaying
the maximum reading, First Peak where only the initial peak is
recorded once a decrease is sensed and Preset which initiates
user-programmed tolerance alarms for go/no go testing. The
display has two selectable operations, numerical view with di­rectional bar graph or graphical view with directional bar graph.
In graphical view when alarm tolerances are set, the process is
plotted in relation to the upper and lower limit graph lines. Com­bined with the go/no go icons, a simple pass/fail determination is
recognized. These high-tech instruments can data log a reading
at the push of a button for simple data acquisition or be set to
continuous data storage. Data can be viewed on the screen, sent
to the optional printer, or loaded to be analyzed and graphed on
the free software program. The 1,000 point memory with definable
groups allows for multiple tests to be recorded and easily sepa­rated upon loading. In addition, the comparator output can be set
up for integration of the instrument into a quality system for repet­itive testing such as on a production line. The FG-7000T’s robust
housings are designed to fit perfectly in the operator’s hand for
portable testing. The large back-lit, 180° auto-reversible display,
CW/CCW directional bar graph, combined with the dual labeled
key pad allows for usage of the gauge in various positions while
still being able to easily view and operate. These various features
make the FG-7000T the ideal torque instrument for various appli­cations such as closing or opening analysis of containers, valves
and door hardware, failure or destructive torque testing, or almost
any torque testing requirement involving incoming quality inspec­tion, finished goods testing to R&D.
