User manual for MV-RAD:

1. General instructions

NOTE: Do not use this torque wrench before reading these instructions. If the torque wrench does not function properly, do not attempt to repair the torque wrench, but contact RAD Torque Systems B.V. immediately

RAD electric torque wrenches are torque-controlled. Correct operation requires the following:

• Impact sockets with locking pin and o-ring
• Proper reaction arm with retaining ring
• These torque wrenches contain metal components that can be dangerous in explosion hazardous areas.

NOTE: The tool can be used with single-phase alternating current. It is grounded in accordance with Class II VDE 0740 and CEE 20. The connection may also be provided by non-grounded electrical outlets. The radio interference suppression meets EC Directive 82/499.

NOTE: Prior to use, check whether the supply voltage matches the operating voltage indicated.

The torque wrench may only be operated, calibrated or repaired by qualifi ed personnel. The torque wrench contains rotating objects. The use of this tool by untrained persons may result in serious injuries.

After performing 20,000 joints, the tool must be maintained, including lubrication of the multiplier. You will receive this message every time you start the tool after reaching 20,000 joints.

2. Description of the functions

1. The torque wrenches of the MV-RAD series are high-capacity, clockwise and counter clockwise rotating torque wrenches equipped with an automatic torque depending shutdown
2. The torque wrench is calibrated to a so-called medium-hard joint
3. The torque wrench responds to soft and hard joints. This also applies to mutual hard or soft joints in different materials. Therefore, the torque wrench must be set to the proper value for each joint, depending on the desired torque. The torque should be determined in advance, using a transducer.
4. To ensure that the tool reaches the pre-set torque, the relevant joint requires an angle of at least 90° from the start of the tightening until reaching the torque. After reaching the set torque, the torque wrench will switch off automatically.
5. For joints for which the tool is used to check the joint, the torque wrench will be loaded to maximum capacity.
6. The torque wrench is not suitable for checking the torque. However, this is possible in combination with our Smart Socket.

3. Setting direction of rotation

Only operate the rotational direction switch when the motor is at standstill, see Figure 1.
Upper position = Tightening
Lower position = Loosening
Centre position = Transportation position, on/off switch

Figure 1

4. Setting the torque

When operating this torque wrench:

1. use only suitable and proper impact sockets
2. the handle can be rotated for ease of installation
3. there may be no clearance between the torque wrench and the reaction arm
4. the reaction arm is placed against the reaction point before the trigger is pulled in order to prevent whipping movements of reaction arm
5. the trigger should be pressed until the torque wrench stops rotating.

4.1 Setting the torque

1. the torque is set via the keypad at the top of the torque wrench
2. the torque value is selected by pressing the centre key “M”
