Battery and cover
POWER ON AND RESETTINGWRENCH
– Press to power on the digital torque wrench.
– In the “torque” mode, the screen will display a preset value.
– In the “angle” mode, the screen will display rst a “zero” value, and then a preset angle value.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
– Remove the battery cover.
– Insert two R6/AA batteries matching the -/+ polarities of the battery to the battery compartment.
– Put on the battery cover and rotate it tightly according to the following figures.

15
– 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 be found in the memory.
IMPORTANT:
When the wrench is used in the “angle” mode, it should be placed horizontally on a plane before any
values are changed. If this instruction is not followed, a set of angle indicators will start blinking on the
dial:
To start the wrench, press
ACTIVATION DURING SLEEP MODE
– The wrench will auto sleep after about 5 minutes idle for power saving.
Press to wake up the wrench during the sleep mode.
RESETTINGWRENCH
– If the wrench does not function normally, press together to reset the wrench.
LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE PROTECTION
– If the battery voltage is under 2.3 volts, the wrench will display a battery symbol and then turn off
after a while.

The wrench will start working again after a few
seconds; however, it should be checked for
calibration at a Beta authorized centre as soon
as possible.

DATA UPLOAD
Select the “Send” mode on the wrench. (See section “Value storage in peak hold mode”)
 Insert the CD-ROM into the computer and start the data upload programme.
 In the data upload programme, refer to the correct communication port.
 Then select the le path to save the uploaded data.
 Select the “upload” button, to upload the data from the wrench to the PC.
 The uploaded data will be displayed in a column and saved in *.csv le. Use Microsoft Excel to
display *.csv le.
MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION:
The torque wrench needs to be recalibrated on an annual basis to provide accurate measurements.
Please contact your local dealer to recalibrate the wrench.
(UNI EN 26789 ISO 6789)
ATTENTION:
1. Over-torque (105% of max. torque range) could cause breakage or lose accuracy.
2. Do not shake violently or drop 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 apparatus in water (it is not waterproof).
6. If the wrench gets wet, wipe it with a dry cloth. The salt in seawater can be especially damaging.
ATTENTION:
Please refer to the guide contained in the upload CD.

7. Do not use any 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 any force to the LCD panel.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
1. When the Beta 599 DGT-A/20 wrench is not used for an extended period of time, 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 re.
