2. Setup
2.1 Package Contents
Verify that all items are present in the package:
- 1 x 1/2" Digital Torque Adapter
- 1 x 3/8" Adapter
- 1 x 1/4" Adapter
- 2 x AA Batteries
- 1 x Screwdriver
2.2 Battery Installation
The digital torque adapter requires two AA batteries for operation.
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the device.
- Use the provided screwdriver to open the battery compartment.
- Insert two AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the battery compartment cover and secure it with the screw.
2.3 Attaching Adapters
The digital torque adapter comes with 1/2", 3/8", and 1/4" adapters to fit various drive sizes.
- Select the appropriate adapter (e.g., 3/8" or 1/4") if your ratchet or socket is not 1/2".
- Insert the adapter into the 1/2" square drive of the digital torque adapter.
- Attach your ratchet wrench to the input square drive of the digital torque adapter.
- Attach the desired socket to the output square drive of the digital torque adapter (or the attached adapter).

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Power On/Off
- Press the M button to power on the device. The LED display will illuminate.
- To power off, press and hold the M button for 3 seconds. The device will also automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery.
3.2 Unit Selection
The device supports four torque units: N.m, ft-lb, in-lb, and kg.cm.
- Press the U button to cycle through the available units. The selected unit will be displayed on the screen.

3.3 Mode Selection (Track Mode / Peak Mode)
The adapter features two operating modes: Track Mode and Peak Mode.
- To switch between modes, press and hold the U button for 3 seconds. Use the Up (▲) and Down (▼) buttons to select the desired mode.
Track Mode
In Track Mode, the device displays the torque value in real-time as force is applied. This is useful for monitoring torque during tightening.
Peak Mode
In Peak Mode, the device captures and displays the maximum torque value achieved during the tightening process. This value remains on the screen until reset or a higher peak is reached.

3.4 Setting Target Torque (Preset Value Mode)
The device allows you to set a target torque value. When the applied torque approaches the target, the device will provide visual and audible alerts.
- Press the M button to enter the preset value setting mode.
- Use the Up (▲) and Down (▼) buttons to adjust the target torque value.
- Press the M button again to confirm and save the setting.
The device can store up to 6 groups of preset values and 500 groups of stored data.

3.5 Torque Application and Indication
As torque is applied, the LED indicator lights will illuminate, and a buzzer will sound to indicate proximity to the target torque.
- Green Lights: Indicate that the applied torque is approaching the target value.
- Red Lights: Indicate that the target torque has been reached or exceeded.
- Buzzer: Sounds when the target torque is reached.
