SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• WARNING! DO NOT use the digital torque adaptor if damaged or thought to be faulty.
• DO NOT apply force to the digital torque adaptor when the power is off. Always turn it on before using it, otherwise it will be damaged.
• DO NOT turn off the digital torque adaptor while torque force is being applied to it.
• DO NOT exceed the permitted maximum torque value.To do so will cause it to break.
• DO NOT subject the 3/4” connectors to any force other than a rotational one.
• Ensure that all components including all adaptors, extensions, drivers and sockets are rated to match or exceed the torque being applied.
• Observe all equipment, system and manufacturer’s warnings, cautions and procedures when using this digital torque adaptor.
• Use the correct size socket for the fixing.
• DO NOT use sockets that are worn or cracked.
• Check that the digital torque adaptor capacity matches or exceeds each application before proceeding.
• Ensure all workshop safety rules, regulations, and conditions are complied with when using this digital torque adaptor.
• Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
• Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
• DO NOT press, pressure, or damage the LCD display.
• DO NOT use near strong magnetic fields.
• DO NOT subject to excessive force or shocks.
• DO NOT drop or throw the digital torque adaptor.
• DO NOT leave the digital torque adaptor in any place exposed to excessive heat, humidity or direct sunlight.
• DO NOT use organic solvents such as alcohol or thinners for cleaning.
• DO NOT submerge in water or any other liquid.
• DO NOT disassemble the digital torque adaptor.
• To ensure accurate measurement, periodic re-calibration is necessary.
• After use, clean with a soft dry cloth and store in a safe, dry, childproof location away from any heat sources. Avoid any dusty, damp or humid conditions.

INTRODUCTION

Designed for use with a standard ratchet or breaker bar. Ideal for work around the engine bay and the tightening of wheel nuts to factory specifications. Large LCD display with LED/ audible alarm indicating achieved and target torque levels. Selectable readings in Nm, lb.ft or kg.m and accurate to ±2% of stated capacity. Memory stores up to 50 readings and features auto shut off after 80 seconds. Supplied with test certificate and storage case.

SPECIFICATION

OPERATION

NOTE: DO NOT press the Mem and Power buttons at the same time as this will enter calibration mode.

Preparation

Unscrew the four cross-head screws holding the rear battery cover and remove the battery cover (fig.1).

Install two AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Refit the battery cover and refit and tighten the four cross-head screws.

NOTE: When battery power is low, a low battery icon will be displayed.

NOTE: DO NOT use the digital torque adaptor when the battery is in a low state of charge as this will affect the torque adaptor’s accuracy

Power On

1. Press the Power button once (fig.2) to turn the digital torque adaptor on. The display will initially show “trACE” or “PtoP”. After 2 seconds the LCD panel will show “00.0”.
   NOTE: If left unused, the digital torque adaptor will automatically turn off after 80 seconds.
2. Ascertain the correct size and type of socket for the fixing to be tightened and attach it to the square drive connector (3/4”) at the base of the adaptor.
3. Insert the required ratchet wrench/drive bar into the socket at the top of the adaptor. DO NOT use a tool that will allow you to apply excessive force through the adaptor.

Selecting unit of measurement.

1. Press Mem and Peak/Trace buttons together (fig.3) and release to select different units of torque measurement (Nm/lb.in/kg.m) in rotation.
2. When the units are changed, the target setting will also be changed to the new unit value.

Setting the target torque value.

1. To increase the value, press and hold the (+) button (fig.4), the target value will display for 10 seconds then the LCD will display 0.00.
2. To decrease the value, press and hold the (-) button (fig.4), the target value will display for 10 seconds then the LCD will display 0.00.

NOTE: In use, when the torque is approaching within 20% of the target value, the red LED will flash and an intermittent buzzer warning will be heard, indicating that the target torque value is nearing. When the target torque value is reached, the red LED will illuminate and the buzzer will sound. Immediately stop applying pressure to the fixing.

Selecting Peak or Trace

Selecting Peak

1. Press and release Peak/Trace button (fig.5), the LCD panel shows “PtoP“, after 2 seconds the LCD panel shows 00.0.
   Selecting Trace:
2. Press and release Peak/Trace button (fig.5), the LCD panel shows “trACE“, after 2 seconds the LCD panel shows 0.00.

Memory

1. Store reading must be under the “PtoP” mode.
2. Press “Mem” button for at least 1 second and release (fig.6), the LCD display shows the memory number “P01” then the torque value for this.
3. Pressing the “Mem” button again for at least 1 second, the LCD display shows the memory number “P02” and then the torque value. Repeat to cycle through all memory values (“P01” is the latest reading, “P50” is the oldest). The digital torque adaptor stores the last 50 torque value readings.

Turning Adaptor Off

1. If the digital torque adaptor is not used for 80 seconds, it will automatically switch off, otherwise manually turn it off by pressing and releasing the power button (fig.7).
   

MAINTENANCE

Battery care and use
