CheckStar Multi and RFm In-line Rotary Torque Transducer-3

Crane Electronics Ltd The force in torque management Connecting to the CheckStar Multi The RFm connects to the CheckStar Multi via a military connector. The outer shell of the RFm military connector is rotated clockwise to fasten and rotated anti-clockwise to unfasten (when viewed from the RFm towards the CheckStar Multi). The outer shell of the military connector has ribs to help grip during rotation. The action is a bayonet type so during use the connection will not come undone. Main Features and Dimensions of the RFm Weight 142g

CheckStar Multi and RFm In-line Rotary Torque Transducer-4

Crane Electronics Ltd The force in torque management RFm The RFm allows the CheckStar Multi to become wireless when used in conjunction with an IQVu. Previously a CheckStar Multi would connect via a cable to an IQVu or a TorqueStar Opta. This addition to the IQVu family allows the CheckStar Multi to be situated in areas where long lengths of cable would be a hazard, or impractical. The RFm reads the Torque and Angle values in real time and converts them to digital values. The RFm analyses the digital samples using measurement algorithms to calculate properties of the fastening such as Peak or...
