SPECIFICATIONS

NOTE: Accuracy is guaranteed from 20% to 100% full scale.

Note:

1. The accuracy of the readout is guaranteed from 20% to 100% of the maximum range + /-1 increment. The torque accuracy is a typical value. To keep the accuracy, calibrate the wrench for a constant period time (1 year). And the accuracy is based on the zero degree of offset from the perpendicular drive.
2. Use a specially designed cable (accessory) to upload record data to PC. Supports Bluetooth 5.2 wireless connection.
3. Two AA batteries (Toshiba carbon-zinc battery)
4. Horizontal and vertical test
5. Environmental test:
   • a. Dry heat
   • b. Cold
   • c. Damp heat
   • d. Change of temperature
   • e. Impact (shock)
   • f. Vibration
   • g. Drop
6. Electromagnetic compatibility test:
   • a. Electrostatic discharge immunity (ESD)
   • b. Radiated susceptibility

BEFORE USING THE WRENCH

BATTERY INSTALLATION

• Remove the battery cap.
• Insert two AA batteries matching the -/+ polarities of the battery to the battery compartment.
• Put on the battery cap and rotate it tightly according to the following figures

POWER ON AND AUTO ZERO RESET

• To power on the digital torque wrench, please keep the ratchet head force-free, and then press to power it on.
• During power on, a zero-reset for torque will be proceeded.
• In Torque Installation mode, a default target value will show on LCD

ATTENTION

1. If appears, it means torque ZERO RESET failed, Please do torque Zero Reset again.

AUTO POWER OFF

• Auto Idle after about 1 minutes without action
• Auto Off after about 30 minutes without action
• Press to power on the wrench again.

CAUTIONS:

During the communication period, the auto power-off function is disabled

ZERO RESET

• Better Zero-reset improves the measuring accuracy. To get higher accuracy, please do Zeroreset carefully before each measuring.
• After power on, button used for zero reset.
• Usually press to zero reset the digital torque wrench before measuring.
• In Torque Installation mode , if an external force is applied to the torque wrench during zero-reset period, an initial torque offset error will occur.

RESET THE WRENCH

• If the wrench does not function normally, please go through the reset process to reset the wrench.
• To reset the wrench, loosen the battery cap then tighten it to re-start. After reset, remember to press to power it up again

LOW VOLTAGE INDICATOR

• If the battery voltage is too low, the wrench will display a battery symbol. Please replace batteries immediately.

BUTTONS

MAIN OPERATION FLOW

Note:

1. Long Press to enter wrench setup.
2. Only Peak Mode keep peak torque for save.

STEP1: SET TORQUE VALUE

STEP2: WRENCH SETTINGS

Note:

1. After Power on Zero Reset.
2. During measuring and before apply force.

STEP3: WRENCH SETUP

STEP4: OPEN SETUP

Default home display:
Targeted value

• single press: increase value to upper decade
  • (if 120 then go to 130,
  • if 127 then go to 130)
• continuous press: wait 1s then +1 every 0,25s
• single press: decrease value to lower decade
  • (if 120 then go to 110,
  • if 127 then go to 120)
• continuous press: wait 1s then -1 every 0,25s

STEP5: P-SET MODE

1. OPEN SETUP MODE
   • Target is defined from the torque wrench:
     *. Torque value selection as described by Spec 8.x
     *. Unit, tightening mode, min tolerance and max tolerance can be selected as described by Spec 9.x
   • OPEN SETUP MODE is available by default:
     *. when the wrench is used for the first time
     *. When no P-set is in the memory
   • OPEN SETUP MODE can be enabled or disabled from CPLinQ (using Tightening SPEC / preset packet)
   • Last mode used is kept in memory when tool is restarted
2. P-SET MODE
   A selection of P-sets are defined from CPLinQ:
   *. a pack of 1 to 9 P-sets are sent by CPLinQ (using Tightening SPEC / preset packet)
   *. Each P-set contains: Torque value, Unit, tightening mode, min tolerance, max tolerance,
   a P-set ID and a number for allocation in torque wrench memory
   *. When a pack of P-set is received from CPLinQ:
   *. all previous P-sets in memory are deleted from the wrench
   *. Each P-set received is stored in the memory (from 1 to 9) according to the number allocation received

Display:

*. The active P-set is identified through the numerical digit:

Selection:

*. single press: increase value +1 / continuous press: wait 1s then +1 every 0,25s
*. Single press: decrease value -1 / continuous press: wait 1s then -1 every 0,25s

TORQUE INSTALLATION Strategy

Note:

1. If the bolt rotates more than 2°, back in normal mode .
2. If the bolt has not moved (less than 2°) an alert is given to the operator.
3. When tightening is finished:
   1. If the result is too low: No recording.
   2. If the result is “Good” (in the target range): The result is automatically recorded.
   3. If the result is “OVER” the result is automatically recorded.

TORQUE AUDIT Strategy

Note:

When tightening is finished:

1. If result is too low : No recording .
2. If result is “Good” (in target range): Result is automatically recorded .
3. If result is “OVER”: Result is automatically recorded

COMMUNICATION

Precaution:

1. The communication function is only supported on some models. Check the model no. and its specification before using communication function.
2. Do not insert the plug of the communication cable into torque wrench that does not support communication function.

CONNECTING COMMUNICATION CABLE

• Turn off power and then connect the accessory cable between the COM port of PC and torque wrench.

UPLOADING RECORD DATA

1. Make sure the Wrench is well connected to the PC with USB Cable.
2. Launch the “Uploader” program in PC.
3. In the “Uploader” program, check “Auto Upload” will upload records automatically if the wrench well connected. The records uploaded will stored in a database file.
4. The records already uploaded will not be uploaded again.
5. Users can export the uploaded/queried records to MS Excel using the “Export Excel” function in the Uploader program.

CAUTIONS:

1. Refer to the uploader program user guide for the detail operations

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

ATTENTION:

One-year periodic recalibration is necessary to maintain accuracy. Please contact your local dealer for calibration.

1. Over-torque (110% of Max. torque range) could cause breakage or lose accuracy.
2. Do not shake violently or drop wrench.
3. Do not use this wrench as a hammer.
4. Do not leave this wrench in any place exposed to excessive heat, humidity, or direct sunlight.
5. Do not use this apparatus in water.(not waterproof)
6. If the wrench gets wet, wipe it with a dry towel as soon as possible. The salt in seawater can be especially damaging.
7. Do not use organic solvents, such as alcohol or paint thinner when cleaning the wrench.
8. Keep this wrench away from magnets.
9. Do not expose this wrench to dust or sand as this could cause serious damage.
10. Do not apply excessive force to the LCD panel.
11. Apply torque slowly and grasp the center of the handle. Do not apply load to the end of handle

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

1. When the wrench is not used for an extended period of time, remove the battery.
2. Keep a spare battery on hand when going on a long trip or to cold areas.
3. Do not mix battery types or combine used batteries with new ones.
4. Sweat, oil and water can prevent a battery’s terminal from making electrical contact. To avoid this, wipe both terminals before loading a battery.
5. Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area. Do not throw batteries into a fire.
