• To power off, press and hold the power button until the display turns off. The wrench may also feature an automatic shut-off function after a period of inactivity.

4.3 Unit Selection

The BTLDTW supports multiple torque units. To change the unit:

1. With the wrench powered on, press the "Unit" button (or equivalent, refer to button labels on your device).
2. Cycle through the available units: Lbf.ft, Lbf.in, N-m, Kgf.m.
3. Release the button when the desired unit is displayed.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Setting Target Torque

The wrench allows setting a target torque value. This value can be set manually or by recalling a preset.

1. Manual Setting: Use the up/down arrow buttons to adjust the target torque value on the display.
2. Using Presets: The BTLDTW stores 5 factory and 5 user-defined presets.
   • To recall a preset, press the "Preset" button (or equivalent) and use the arrow buttons to select the desired preset number.
   • To save a user-defined preset, set the desired torque value manually, then press and hold the "Preset" button until the display indicates the value has been saved to a user slot.

5.2 Applying Torque

When applying torque, the wrench provides audible, visual (LED), and tactile (vibration) alerts to indicate proximity to and achievement of the target torque.

1. Select the appropriate jaw opening for the fastener. The jaw opening ranges from 3/16 to 1-7/16 inches (5 to 35mm).
2. Position the wrench securely on the fastener.
3. Apply steady, smooth force to the wrench handle. The digital display will show the real-time torque being applied.
4. As you approach the target torque, the wrench will provide advance warnings (e.g., slower beeps, flashing LED).
5. Upon reaching the target torque, a continuous tone, solid LED, and sustained vibration will activate. Stop applying force immediately.

5.3 Peak and Track Modes

The BTLDTW offers "Peak" and "Track" modes for torque data viewing:

• Track Mode: Displays the real-time torque value as it is being applied.
• Peak Mode: Displays the maximum torque value achieved during the application. This value remains on the display after the force is removed, allowing for review.
• Toggle between these modes using the designated "Mode" button (or equivalent).

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

• Wipe the wrench clean with a soft, dry cloth after each use.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the display or finish.
• Ensure no liquids enter the electronic components.

6.2 Storage

• Store the wrench in its protective carrying case when not in use.
• Keep the wrench in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Remove batteries if the wrench will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

6.3 Calibration

Digital torque wrenches require periodic calibration to maintain accuracy. Refer to the manufacturer's recommendations or contact authorized service centers for calibration services. Regular calibration ensures the wrench continues to meet specified torque standards.
