Professional Transducer Display (PTD)

With a large LCD multicolour display, the Professional Transducer Display shows applied torque in digital and analogue bar form. It is designed to work with all AWS I-Series Torque Transducers.

Modes of operation (I Series)

The AWS Professional Transducer Display (PTD) is designed for powering and displaying the readings from AWS Intelligent Torque Transducer ranges (I Series). The torque display features a bright, full colour LCD graphic display, showing the torque reading both in large 6 digits and analogue bar graph form. It features Run, Peak and 1st Peak mode operation, units and limits selection via soft keys on the front panel of the display.

Designed for use with the AWS UTWCM and I Series Torque Transducers

The Professional Transducer Display is typically used with the AWS Universal Torque Wrench Calibration Machine (UTWCM), in order for the operator to view their torque reading whilst using the machine. The AWS range of Intelligent Torque Transducers (I Series) output control signals to the UTWCM, and torque readings to the Professional Transducer Display. The torque display can also be used with AWS I Series Torque Transducers to display torque readings without the need for the UTWCM.

The Professional Transducer Display can even be used with your existing range of mV/V transducers from any manufacturer using our Intelligent Instrumented Transducer Cable (IITC). The cable is designed to convert your standard existing mV/V transducers from any manufacturer into truly intelligent I Series digital transducers to be interpreted by the Professional Transducer Display.

Customisable Limits

The Professional Transducer Display features customisable limits, with the torque reading and external indicating LEDs lighting up the appropriate colour depending on the torque reading compared to these limits. The operator can select the target torque, upper limit and lower limit they wish to use for their operation during the setup process.

Within Limits

The torque reading and LEDs appear green if a peak is detected and the reading is measured within the limits set by the user. This means the reading is above the lower limit, and lower than the upper limit.

Above Upper Limit

The torque reading and LEDs appear red if a peak is detected and the reading is measured at or above the upper limit set by the user.

Below Lower Limit

If a peak is detected below the user specified lower limit, the torque reading will automatically be cleared, and the external indicating LEDs turns yellow. No peaks will be captured or transmitted via RS232 below this lower limit.

Modes of Operation for Measuring Different Types of Torque Tools

The Professional Transducer Display can be used in three modes of operation, each designed to meet the requirements to measure different types of torque tools. Please note, when used with the AWS Universal Torque Wrench Calibration Machine, the mode that the Professional Transducer Display is set to will effect the operation of the machine when using the appropriate tool type.

First Peak Mode

Used for click type torque tools, 1st Peak Mode detects, shows and retains the first peak reading in a fast dynamic memory, or is cleared automatically after three seconds if the auto cancel option is selected.

Peak Mode

Used for dial and cam type torque tools, Peak Mode shows, updates and retains the maximum reading in a fast dynamic memory. The maximum reading is retained until manually cleared.

Run Mode

Run Mode shows the torque value as they change as a live reading output.

Mains or Battery Powered

There are three models of Professional Transducer Display. The 1010M model is mains powered, using the supplied 12V DC charger as a continuous source of power, and is designed for us with the AWS Universal Torque Wrench Calibration Machine (sold separately).

The 1010B and 1010H models feature internal rechargeable batteries, allowing for portable operation of the display in the field. These models feature a battery icon on the display screen indicating the current battery level status, and auto power off to extend the life of the display when not in use. The 1010H is a more rugged option for demanding environmental climates, featuring a heated display for use at sub-zero temperatures.

The 12V charger can be used with the 1010B and 1010H models, as well as the Professional Torque Tool Tester. It will be fitted with the appropriate plug for the country concerned depending on requirements.

Model: PTD-1010M1010B1010H

5 Selectable Torque Units

The Professional Transducer Display allows you to display and record your torque readings in 5 different torque units: Nm, Lbf.Ft, cNm, Lbf.In or ozf.In. These units are selectable during the setup process using the soft keys on the front of the display.

RS232 and Can Bus Data Output

RS232 data output allows the Professional Transducer Display to be connected to a PC for the direct input of torque readings into torque software such as the ADMS Kepler 4 Calibration and Conformity software. This eliminates data entry errors from your torque operations, as well as speeding up the recording process. RS232 converters are available on request. Specifications of the Can Bus output can be supplied upon request.

Optional PTD Stand

The AWS Professional Transducer Display Stand (PTDS) is used to mount the Professional Transducer Display to a bench or wall within your calibration laboratory or workshop. The display (not included) can be removed from the stand at any time to be used independently in the laboratory or the field.

Use with the Multi-Way Transducer Switch Box

The Professional Transducer Display can be used with the AWS Multi-Way Transducer Switch Box, allowing for multiple transducers to be powered simultaneously. This means that you can quickly select which transducer you are using, removing the waiting time required for torque transducer thermal stabilisation.
