Testing torque screwdrivers with the TS-1000 is quick and easy.

1. Plug in the proper range torque transducer.
2. Turn the TS-1000 on. The TS-1000 will read a smart chip inside the transducer and set the proper calibration data and torque range.
NOTE: The TS-1000 will turn on with the same modes, units and settings that were set before it was last turned off (regardless of the transducer attached).
3. Press the mode button until the display shows "PEAK". This mode will hold the peak torque value on the display until you press the clear button, or, if the meter is in auto clear mode, it will hold the peak torque on the display until you start a new torque test cycle (no need to press any keys). You can also program the TS-1000 to clear the display in a certain number of seconds (1-9 seconds).
4. Attach the torque screwdriver, with a joint rate simulator and apply torque. Compare the setting on the torque screwdriver with the reading on the TS-1000.
Application Note: If you want the meter to prompt you if the screwdriver passed or failed simply enter the target torque or the high and low pass/fail values by holding the limits key on the TS-1000 and enter either the target torque or the actual Pass and Fail limits of the torque range (you can program which type of tolerance to use under "Menu").
The TS-1000 will activate a yellow light if the meter is under the programmed tolerance, a green light and single beep if it is within the programmed tolerance and a red light and intermittent beep if the peak torque is over the specified tolerance. This is a quick and easy way to keep you from having to calculate if the wrench passed or failed the test.
