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. The calibration point is at the middle line of the black circle area on the rubber grip. To keep the accuracy, calibrate the wrench for a constant period (1 year).
2. Horizontal and vertical test.
3. Environmental test:
   • Dry heat
   • Cold
   • Damp heat
   • Change of temperature
   • Impact (shock)
   • Vibration
   • Drop
4. Electromagnetic compatibility test:
   • Electrostatic discharge immunity (ESD)
   • Radiated susceptibility
   • Radiated emission

BEFORE USING THE WRENCH

BATTERY INSTALLATION

• Remove the battery cap.
• Insert two AAA batteries matching the -/+ polarities of the battery to the battery compartment.
• Put on the battery cap and fasten it tightly.

ATTENTION:
When opening the battery cover of a wrench, you can see a viewing window for the water contact indicator. Through this viewing window, you can check if this wrench is damaged by water penetration if the water contact indicator turns red.

POWER ON AND RESET THE WRENCH

• Press to power on the digital torque wrench.
• Usually press to reset the digital torque wrench before using it.

ATTENTION:
If an external force is applied to the torque wrench during the power-on/reset or wake-up period, an initial torque offset will exist in the memory.

ACTIVATION DURING SLEEP MODE

• The wrench will auto-sleep after about 5 minutes without use for power saving. Press to wake up the wrench during sleep mode.

RESETTING THE WRENCH

• If the wrench does not function normally, Press together to reset the wrench.

LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE PROTECTION

• If the battery serial voltage is in low voltage status, the wrench will display a battery symbol and then turn off after a while.

WHEN CHANGING THE TYPE OF HEAD
If you use the different heads of the wrench, the reading on the display will be different for the different lengths of the head. Please refer to the following explanation.

• D = D1 * (L3+L1) / (L3+L2)

• D: The set torque
• D1: The actual torque applied to the nut.
• L1: The normal length
• L2: The extended length
• L3: The length from the fitting pin to the calibration point.

Reference dimension for each model:

SETUP

• Power On/Clear
• Unit Selection/Setting
• Pre-setting No.
• Up/Down Button

STEP 1: PRE-SETTING NO.

Note:

1. If is displayed, that means this wrench has ever been applied more than 110% of torque of the spec.
2. The max number of Pre-Sets is 9.
3. The “Pre-setting No.” is cyclic.

STEP 2: UNIT SELECTION

STEP 3: SET TORQUE VALUE

Note:

1. The “Unit Selection” is cyclic.

STEP 4: PEAK HOLD /TRACK MODE SELECTION

Note:

1. Please skip this procedure and continue to the next step.

TRACK MODE OPERATION

Note:

1. If is displayed, that means this wrench has applied more than 110% of the torque of the spec.
2. When 80% of the target torque is reached, the green LED will begin to flash and the alarm tone will beep intermittently.
3. When the target torque is approached, the alarm will change to a steady tone and the green LED will stop flashing and stay on. The red LED will also illuminate.

PEAK HOLD MODE OPERATION

Note:

1. If is displayed, that means this wrench has ever been applied more than 110% of torque of the spec.
2. If is displayed, that means the wrench’s memory is full and the next value record can not be written in. Please refer to the “Peak Hold Mode Recorded Value Review” section to clear the memory records.
3. When 80% of the target torque is reached, the green LED will begin to flash and the alarm tone will beep intermittently.
4. When the target torque is approached, the alarm will change to a steady tone and the green LED will stop flashing and stay on. The red LED will also illuminate.

Peak Hold Mode Recorded Value Review

Note:

1. The “Peak Hold” mode recorded value review also can be operated from the “Track” mode operation.
2. If you operate in the “Peak Hold” mode, the display will show please skip to the next step.
3. If the record is empty, it will show .
4. This function is not supported on all models.
5. Communication mode is for uploading record data to the PC.
6. Communication mode is also for calibration of the torque wrench. Please contact NAVAC technical support for more information.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

ATTENTION:

1. A one-year periodic recalibration is recommended to maintain accuracy.
2. Please contact NAVAC technical support for calibration details.

CAUTION:

1. Over-torque (110% of Max. torque range) could cause breakage or loss of accuracy.
2. Do not shake violently or drop a 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 wrench in water (not waterproof).

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 centre of the handle. Do not apply load to the end of the handle.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

1. When the wrench is not going to be used for an extended period, 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.
