4. Setup
4.1 Battery Installation and Charging
The wrench comes with a pre-installed 1500mAh lithium-ion battery. Before first use, ensure the battery is fully charged.
- Locate the battery compartment cover, typically at the base of the handle.
- Open the cover and ensure the battery is correctly seated.
- Connect the included USB-C charging cable to the wrench's charging port and to a suitable USB power source.
- The screen will indicate charging status. A full charge typically takes approximately 2 hours and provides over 12 hours of continuous use.
4.2 Initial Power On and Calibration
The wrench features auto-calibration for ease of use.
- Press and hold the Power button (often labeled with a circle or 'OK') to turn on the wrench.
- The wrench will perform a self-check and auto-calibrate. Ensure the wrench is not under any load during this process.
- The display will show the default working mode and torque unit.
5. Operating Instructions
This section details how to use your digital torque wrench for various tasks.
5.1 Control Panel and Buttons
Figure 5.1: Control panel layout and button functions.
- Power Button (Short press: Reset/Back, OK/Power on; Long press: Power off): Controls power and navigation.
- Up/Down Buttons (Short press: Select/Adjust): Used to navigate menus and adjust values.
- M Button (Short press: Switch work group; Long press: Lock button): Changes working modes or locks settings.
- U Button (Long press: Main menu): Accesses the main menu for advanced settings.
5.2 Working Modes: Peak Mode and Track Mode
The wrench offers two primary operating modes:
- Peak Mode (P): Captures and displays the maximum torque value applied during an operation. Useful for verifying the peak torque achieved.
- Track Mode (T): Monitors and displays real-time torque values as they are applied. Ideal for observing torque changes during tightening.
To switch between modes, use the appropriate button as indicated on the control panel diagram (Figure 5.1).
Figure 5.2: Display in Peak Mode (P) and Track Mode (T).
