Service and Warranty
Overload Capacity Caution
ASG, Division of Jergens, Inc., warrants to the original purchaser buying the ASG DTT meter with the intention of use rather than
resale, for a period of 1 year. ASG will replace those items found to be defective or otherwise fail to conform, or at ASG’s option
repay the price paid for the item. The buyer’s remedies with respect to any item found to be defective or otherwise not conforming
shall be limited exclusively to the right of replacement or repayment. In no event shall ASG be liable for any incidental, special, or
consequential damages or for damages in the nature of penalties.
DISCLAIMER: Seller makes no other warranty what-so-ever, expressed or implied, and all implied warranties of merchantability and
tness for a particular purpose are disclaimed and excluded from this transaction and shall not apply to the goods sold hereunder.
The ASG DTT meter is an electronic instrument and should be treated with the same care given any sensitive electronic instrument.
Avoid dropping the unit or dropping items on the unit. Avoid high shock loads to the transducer. Use the proper driver adapter when
using clutch type power tools.
Do not deliberately exceed the capacity of the unit. The maximum capacity of the DTT meter can be found on the spacer ring
surrounding the transducer. The overload capacity of a DTT meter is 200% of its maximum load capacity. If the meter is taken over
capacity, a warning tone will sound, the word “OVERLOAD” will ash on the LCD, and the unit will LOCK until the RESET button is
pressed. Immediately stop applying torque when the overload warnings are observed. A unit subjected to overload or subjected to
harsh conditions, such as use with an impact tool, will not be covered under warranty.

Usage
Procedure for Manual Torque Drivers
• Attach a proper adapter to connect the driver to the 3/8” female square.
• NOTE: It is NOT recommended to use the power tool adapters to calibrate hand torque tools.
• Select FIRST PEAK mode using the MODE button. Press the RESET/ESC button if the display is not at 0.
• Turn the driver or wrench clockwise or counterclockwise until the “break” point is reached.
• In FIRST PEAK no other reading can then be displayed until the reset button is pressed.
• The LCD display will show the torque that the driver or wrench is set at. Note the reading or write it down. To enter it into the
DTT memory, press the MEM/ENTER button. If you are testing several tools note the memory numbers of the readings for the
various tools. This number is in the upper right hand corner of the LCD. The unit can save up to 500 readings. After that no
further readings can be entered until the memory is cleared. See the main menu section starting on page 11 for instructions on
downloading and clearing the readings in the memory.
• If the torque is not correct, adjust the tool. Repeat the test. When the reading is proper, perform the test several times to be sure
the readings are consistent. The proper reading may be an average of several readings.
Procedure for Power Screwdrivers
• Put the appropriate rundown adapter into the unit’s female 3/8” square socket. This is also called a joint simulator. It allows the
power tool to reach its working speed before tightening up and causing the clutch to operate.
• Run the tool in reverse to make sure the adapter is unwound. Do not disassemble the driver adapter.
• Make sure the unit is in PEAK mode. If it is not, use the MODE button to select PEAK mode.
• Press the RESET/ESC button to be sure the display is at 0.
• Run the tool forward until it shuts off. The reading on the display will be the torque setting of the tool’s clutch. Note the reading or
write it down.
• To enter it into the units memory, press the MEM/ENTER button. If you are testing several tools, note the memory numbers of the
readings for the various tools. This number is in the upper right hand corner of the LCD. The unit can save up to 500 readings.
After that no further readings can be entered until the memory is cleared. See the main menu section starting on page 11 for
instructions on downloading and clearing the readings in the memory.
• If the torque is not correct, adjust the clutch. Repeat the test. When the reading is proper, perform the test several times to be sure
the readings are consistent. The proper reading may be an average of several readings.
• Always unwind the rundown adapter after each test. Do NOT leave the spring under tension while not in use.

plug icon will blink. Charging time is about 2.3 hours for full charge. NOTE: Only use the 12V
power adapter/charger supplied.
Clockwise torque is displayed on the DTT and recognized by the symbol “CW.” Counter-clockwise

The display automatically zeros when the unit is turned on. The zero key can be pressed to set the meter to zero.
You can choose from the following modes of measure: Track, First Peak and Peak Torque. To change the display mode press the
MODE key. Each time the MODE key is pressed, it will select the next available mode until the tester returns to its original setting.
You can choose from the following units of measure depending on the capacity of your tester: N.mm (not available on the DTT-500),
N.cm, N.m, kgf.cm, kgf.m, lbf.in, and lbf.ft. To change the display units, press the UNIT key. Each time the UNIT key is pressed, it will
select the next available unit until the tester returns to its original setting. The DTT automatically converts readings as new units of
measure are selected. NOTE: All units may not be displayed depending on tester capacity.

Press the MODE key until “Peak” appears on
the display. The display will show the maximum
torque applied to the transducer during a cycle.
Press the MODE key until “F-Peak” appears on
