6.5 Dual Alarm System and Display Modes
The adapter features a dual alarm system to prevent over-tightening:
- At 80% of the set target torque, a green light illuminates, accompanied by an intermittent beep.
- At 90% of the set target torque, a yellow light illuminates, accompanied by an intermittent beep.
- Upon reaching or exceeding the target torque, a red light flashes, and a constant buzzer sounds.
The device offers two display modes:
- Track Mode (T): Displays the real-time torque value as force is applied.
- Peak Mode (P): Captures and displays the maximum torque value achieved during the application.
