Tool Features Overview
The ASG Mini Digital torque tools are compact light weight electronic torque tools
with many standard features. The tools feature an audible alarm to alert the operator
when they are close to the desired torque and when the desired torque is reached or
exceeded. The tools can be operated in either peak or track mode. The tools can be
set up to 9 preset torques allowing the tools to be easily switched from one assembly
to another without complicated programming. The tools can store up to 250 torque
readings in their memory. These readings can be downloaded to a PC using the
included software and USB cable supplied with each tool*. The tools will power off
after being idle for about 5 minutes to save battery power (except when the tool is in
communication mode).

ASG Mini Digital Torque Wrenches and Screwdrivers
Operation Manual
Installing the Battery
Remove the battery cap by turning counter clockwise using a coin. Insert one AAA
battery matching the +/- polarity of the battery to the battery compartment.
To install the battery cap, with the display facing up, start with the small mark on the
battery cap at the 6 o’clock position then turn clockwise to approximately the 8 o’clock
position. If a known good battery is installed with the proper polarity and the tool does
not operate remove and rotate the cap 180 and reinstall.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the cap. If the cap is installed in
the correct position, and the tool still does not work, check to
make sure the metal contact and spring are in place in the cap.
The part number for a replacement cap is #728084.
Display and Button Functions
All programming is done with the buttons on the face of the tool.
1. Button #1 is the CLEAR /RESET button. Press “C” to turn the tool on or reset
the torque in peak mode. The tool will auto shut off after several minutes of
inactivity.*
2. Button #2 is the UNIT/SET button. Press “U/S” to change the engineering units,
enter program mode or advance while in program mode.
3. Button #3 is the MEMORY button. Press the “M” button to select memory preset
or store the reading in peak mode.
4. Buttons #4 are the UP/DOWN buttons. Press the UP/DOWN buttons to increase or
decrease the torque reading seen on the display, or to select a program option.
• The GREEN LED will light up when the applied torque reaches 90% of the
TARGET TORQUE. The BUZZER will also beep intermittently. When the applied
torque reaches 99.5% of the target torque, the GREEN LED will remain lit and the
BUZZER change to a steady tone.
• The RED LED will light up when the applied torque reaches 99.5% of the target
torque.
• * When [SEnd ] is seen on the display auto shut off is canceled.

ASG Mini Digital Torque Wrenches and Screwdrivers
Operation Manual
Display and Button Functions (Cont.)
When the tool is on, the LCD display will show the TARGET TORQUE, the UNITS, the
MEMORY PRE-SET# and whether the tool is set to TRACK or PEAK HOLD. When the
tool is in use, the display will show the actual torque being applied. In peak mode the
display will hold the last torque reading achieved.
The TARGET TORQUE is the torque you wish to apply to the screw. In the example
above the target torque is 25.00 Newton meters. The default will be the maximum
torque for that particular tool.
The TORQUE UNITS show what scale the tool is currently reading
NOTE: Wrenches will display torque in N.m, lb.ft, lbf.in and kgf.cm. while screwdrivers
will display torque in cN.m, lbf.in and kgf.cm.
M1 means the tool is showing MEMORY PRESET #1. There area total of 9 MEMORY
PRESETS available. M1~M9
T means the tool is in TRACK MODE. (P would mean the tool is in PEAK MODE)
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR If the battery is low a battery symbol will appear below the
M in the memory preset # indicating the battery needs to be replaced.
Setting the Target Torque
NOTE: The torque value on the display can not be set to less than 10% of the
maximum capacity of the tool. When decreasing the torque value below 10% of
the maximum capacity of the tool the display will “roll over” to show the maximum
capacity of the tool.
When using the tool you can choose to set the target torque to the maximum
allowable torque. You will get a warning that the safe limit of the tool is being
approached. Or you can set the target torque to alert you that you have achieved the
desired torque.
When [Er0 ] appears on the display it means the tool has
been over-torqued and will require repairs.

Operation Manual
Setting the Torque Units
Pressing U/S will cycle through the settings in the order shown above. The torque value
shown will also be converted to the units selected.
Note: Wrenches show the torque units in N.m, lbf.in, lb.ft and kgf.cm while screwdrivers
will show the torque units in cN.m, lbf.in and kgf.cm.
Setting Peak/Track Mode
Note: Wrenches and Screwdrivers have slightly different menus for some functions. In
the manual you will see some displays shown as grayed out. In the actual tool menu
all displays are the same, the grayed out display means ignore the step as it has no
function here and go to the next in the program.

Operation Manual
Setting Memory Preset
Pressing Mwill cycle though the 9 memory presets in order M1 through M9.
Note: The 9 memory positions can be set to a different torque unit and each can be set
to peak or track modes independently of each other.
Operating in Peak Mode
When the tool is operated in peak mode the torque reading on the display will indicate
the highest reading achieved and it will remain on the display until torque is once again
applied or the “C” button is pressed Once torque is again applied the reading will be
replaced by the new reading. Torque readings may be stored in memory when in Peak
Mode - see right column.
Operating in Peak Mode (Cont.)
*Seen on Wrench only, the Record Number shows the number of the reading being stored.
**The memory holds 250 readings. If [Full] is seen, no more readings can be stored until
the memory is either cleared or downloaded. See page 7 to manage the wrench memory or
page 8 to manage the screwdriver memory.

The le can now be renamed as desired and then saved like any other Excel worksheet.
If the le is not renamed and saved any data will be overwritten the next time data is
saved from the tool.
Downloading data does not clear it from the memory. See page 15 to delete data from
the wrench and page 16 to delete data from the screwdriver.
The cable supplied with the tool is not a true USB cable. It is a USB to Serial Bridge cable.
It requires a software, called a “Driver”, to operate properly with your computer. A copy
of the driver is included on the CD shipped with your tool. The most current version of the
driver is available at:
