Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
Press and hold the Power (⏻) button to turn the device on or off.
Unit Selection
With the device powered on, press the M button to cycle through available measurement units (e.g., N.m, ft.lb, in.lb, kg.cm).
Mode Selection (Peak/Track)
Press the P/T button to switch between Peak Hold (P) and Track (T) modes.
- Peak Hold (P): Displays the maximum torque value applied during the measurement.
- Track (T): Displays real-time torque values as they are applied.
Setting Target Torque (Pre-set Mode)
While in a suitable mode, use the + and - buttons to adjust the target torque value. The device may emit an audible alert when the target torque is approached or reached.
Applying Torque
Attach the appropriate socket to the torque meter and then to the fastener. Apply force to your ratchet wrench smoothly and steadily. Observe the digital display for real-time torque readings or the peak value in Peak Hold mode.
