  • Stores up to 200 readings offline if the connection is lost.
  • Rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery with a 6-hour life under normal usage.
  • Communicates using 2.400GHz RF frequency.
Technical Specifications:
  • Torque measurement resolution to 0.006% of transducer span, sampled every 20 micro-seconds.
  • Static accuracy of ±0.2% FSD for connected transducers.
  • Angle measurement adapts automatically to the PPR of the angle transducer.
  • Frequency response selectable from 75Hz to 4608Hz using a low pass Bessel Filter.
  • Construction includes a patented slip ring mechanism and durable materials like aluminum housing and stainless steel shaft.
  • Overload capacity of 125% rated torque.
Calibration and Warranty:
  • Calibration traceable to national and international standards, with various calibration options available.
  • Recalibration recommended every 12 months.
  • Two-year warranty covering parts and labor, with conditions for the second year.

CheckStar Multi 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 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...
