- Setting Preset Torque Values:
- In Peak mode (P), torque can be preset.
- Use the "+" and "-" buttons to adjust the desired torque value.
- Short press the "M" button to save the current setting or switch between 10 preset torque values (P0-P9).
- The preset torque value is displayed at the top of the screen.
- Torque Measurement and Alarm:
- Apply torque using your wrench. The display will show the current torque.
- As you approach the preset torque:
- At 80%: Buzzer prompts, orange light flashes.
- At 90%: Green light flashes.
- At 100%: All three lights (red, orange, green) flash simultaneously, and the buzzer sounds continuously.
- The closer to the preset torque, the more urgent the buzzer's prompt sound becomes.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the torque adapter in its protective case in a dry, cool place when not in use. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Use 2 new AAA batteries.
- Calibration: For professional applications requiring certified accuracy, periodic calibration by a qualified service center is recommended.
6. Troubleshooting
- Device does not power on:
- Check if batteries are installed correctly with proper polarity.
- Replace batteries with new ones.
- Ensure the "C" button is short-pressed firmly.
- Inaccurate readings:
- Ensure the adapter is securely attached to the wrench and the fastener.
- Verify the correct torque unit is selected.
- Consider professional calibration if accuracy issues persist.
- Display is dim or not visible:
- Long press the "U" key to activate the backlight.
- Replace batteries if the display remains dim.

8. User Tips
- For models with higher torque ranges (e.g., up to 2000Nm), ensure you are using a robust ratchet wrench and appropriate sockets that can handle the required force.
- Always double-check the selected torque unit before applying torque to prevent errors.
- When using in Peak mode, remember to reset the device or switch to Tracking mode if you need continuous real-time feedback.
