4. Setup

4.1 Battery Installation

The LLAVETOR Digital Torque Wrench requires 2 AA batteries (included) for operation. Follow these steps to install them:

1. Locate the battery compartment cover at the bottom of the wrench handle.
2. Using a small Phillips head screwdriver, carefully open the back case/battery cover.
3. Insert 2 AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Replace the battery cover and secure it with the screw.
5. Press the 'C' button to power on the device.

Figure 3: Step-by-step guide for battery installation. This image illustrates opening the battery compartment, inserting AA batteries, and powering on the device.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off

• To power on, press the C button.
• To power off, press and hold the C button for a few seconds until the display turns off. The wrench will also automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life.

5.2 Switching Measurement Units

The wrench supports four measurement units: Nm, ft-lb, in-lb, and kgf-cm.

• Press the U button repeatedly to cycle through the available units. The selected unit will be displayed on the LCD screen.

5.3 Switching Track / Peak Mode

The wrench operates in two primary modes:

• Track Mode: Displays the torque value in real-time as force is applied.
• Peak Mode: Captures and displays the maximum torque value reached during an application.

• To switch between Track and Peak modes, press the U button. The display will indicate the current mode.

5.4 Setting Target Torque Values and Presets

The wrench allows you to set a target torque value and save up to 10 preset values (M0-M9).

1. To set a target torque value:
   • In either Track or Peak mode, press the M button to enter the setting mode.
   • Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to adjust the desired torque value.
   • Press the M button again to confirm and exit the setting mode.
2. To save a preset value (M0-M9):
   • Set the desired torque value as described above.
   • While in setting mode, press and hold the M button. The display will show "M" followed by a number (e.g., M0).
   • Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to select the desired preset memory location (M0-M9).
   • Release the M button to save the current torque value to that preset.
3. To recall a preset value:
   • Press the M button repeatedly to cycle through the saved preset values (M0-M9). The wrench will automatically load the selected preset as the target torque.

5.5 Applying Torque

Once your target torque value is set:

1. Attach the appropriate socket to the square drive.
2. Place the socket onto the fastener.
3. Apply steady, increasing force to the wrench handle. Observe the digital display for the real-time torque reading (in Track Mode).
4. As you approach the target torque, the LED lights on the wrench will illuminate, and a buzzer will sound, indicating that the target torque has been reached.
5. Stop applying force immediately once the target torque is achieved to prevent over-tightening.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the wrench clean with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the display or finish.
• Storage: Store the torque wrench in its protective case in a dry, clean environment away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Battery Care: Remove batteries if the wrench will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage and damage.
• Calibration: While the wrench is factory calibrated to ±2% accuracy, regular calibration by a certified facility is recommended for professional use or after significant impact. LLAVETOR operates ISO 6789-compliant calibration labs.
• Avoid Overload: Do not exceed the maximum torque capacity of the wrench (99.5 ft-lbs / 135 Nm), as this can damage the internal mechanism and affect accuracy.
