Output is available in PD, PP and C modes. In PD and PP modes peak
data is output when ZERO is pressed or activated by the AUTO ZERO
function. In C mode, the gauge outputs data continuously 180
data/second.
GENERAL OPERATION
1. Connect the torque sensor to the tester display
unit with cable provided. When connecting
the cable to the torque sensor, rotate the round
connector to find the matching groove, then
push in until it makes positive connection
(When disconnecting the cable from the
torque sensor, hold the silver metal part of the
round connector and pull out).
2. To select the desired measuring unit (lbf-in, kgf-cm, N-m, N-cm),
press POWER, then hold UNITS for 4 four seconds until a beep
sounds. Press UNITS to cycle choices. Press PRG/SET to enter.
3. Press and hold MODE for one second to select from the follow-
ing Measuring Modes.
Real Time–Displays torque transients (no output or indicator)
PP Mode– Peak, captures peak torque (peak data output, PP
appears on display)
PD Mode– First Peak, capture first peak value (peak data
output, PD appears on display)
C Mode– Continuous RS-232 output Display and output
torque transients (180 data/sec., GOOD indicator
flashes)
4. Insert Phillips tip into the screwdriver sensor.
5. Select ratchet operation by turning the ratchet
one click clockwise or counter-clockwise from
the center position.To disable ratcheting, turn
the ratchet so the semi circle is in the center
position.
6. Press the CLEAR button on the display unit or
the button on the screwdriver to zero the dis-
play. Insert the screwdriver tip into the screw,
hold perpendicularly (not at an angle), and
turn to measure.
7. After measuring, press CLEAR on the display
unit or the button on top of the screwdriver
sensor to zero the display for the next test.

OUTPUT
USB Virtual COM Port
When the tester is connected to a computer’s USB port and turned
on, Windows XP or Vista will recognize the tester and ask to con-
nect to the Internet.Allow Windows Update to connect to the
Internet and follow the instructions on your screen to download
and install two drivers for the USB virtual com port. For Windows
98, ME and MAC go to www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm.
The PC and tester will communicate through the USB port the same
as a com port. To verify the COM port number open the Device
Manager.
PROGRAMMING
Press POWER to turn on. Press PRG/SET for one second.The display
shows, "HI" and then the High setpoint value. This confirms the
tester is ready for the following programming steps.
1. High Setpoint (HI)
After "HI" is displayed and the High setpoint
value, press DOWN/SHIFT to move the
numeric place (selected place flashes) and
press UP to select values i.e. 50.0 for 50.0
lbf-in, then press PRG/SET to enter.
2. Low Setpoint (LO)
After High value is entered, "LO" is dis-
played, then the Low setpoint value. Press
DOWN/SHIFT to move the numeric place
and press the UP to select values, then press PRG/SET to enter.
3. Peak Down Minimum (PdLO)
After Low value is entered, "PdLO" is displayed, then the PdLO
value. Press DOWN/SHIFT to move the numeric place and press
the UP to select values, then press PRG/SET to enter.
PdLO sets a minimum torque value for Peak Down mode. For
example, if "PdLO" value is set at 5.0 lbf-in, only a reading over
5.0 lbf-in will be measured in Peak Down mode.
4. Continuous Data Output Minimum (CLO)
After Peak Down value is entered, "CLO" is displayed, then the
CLO value. Press DOWN/SHIFT to move the numeric place and
press the UP to select values, then press PRG/SET to enter.
CLO sets the start and stop trigger points for Continuous data
output.When torque reaches the CLO value, the tester starts to
output data and stops if torque falls below the value. Note: the
display does not show any value below the CLO minimum.
5. Auto Zero Reset (AC)
After Continuous Data Output Minimum is entered, "AC" is dis-
played, then the Auto Zero Reset duration value. Press UP or
DOWN/SHIFT to select 0.0C - 0.1C - 0.5C - 1.0C - 1.5C - 2.0C -
2.5C - 3.0C, and press PRG/SET to enter (0.1C for 0.1 second and
0.0C for MANUAL RESET).
After measuring, Auto Zero automatically resets the tester to "0.0".

6. Beeper (bp)
After Auto Zero Reset is entered, "bp" is displayed, then "On".
Press UP or DOWN/SHIFT to select On, OFF, or FF, then press
PRG/SET to enter.
"On"– beeper sounds for Good, NG and capacity overload
"OFF"– beeper sounds for capacity overload only
"FF"– beeper sounds for NG and capacity overload.
After "bp" is entered, "-S-" is displayed to confirm programming com-
pletion and zero is shown.
After High and Low setpoints are set and beeper is set to On,
In PP mode
Under LO setpoint– No LED light or beep
Over LO setpoint– Green LED lights and beep sounds
Over HI setpoint– NG flashes and beep sounds
In PD mode– no indicator or beep for values before Peak
down is sensed.
Under LO setpoint– NG flashes and slow beep sounds
Between LOand HI– GOOD lights and constant tone sounds
Over HI setpoint– NG flashes and fast beep sounds
In Real Time mode
Under LO setpoint– no LED light or beep
Between LO and HI–GOOD lights and beep sounds
Over HI setpoint– NG lights solid and beep sounds
DATA MEMORY
Storing and Recalling Data from Memory
Memory functions work in PP and PD modes. Store up to 800 val-
ues in memory.
1. Measure in PP or PD mode, when the display resets by either
Auto Zero or manually pressing CLEAR, the peak value is stored.
2. To recall a value, press MEMORY and the last stored memory is
displayed. Press UP or DOWN/SHIFT to select a memory loca-
tion (i.e. .0.0.1 for first location) and torque value. The display
cycles between memory location and value.
Clearing Data from Memory
Single clear: Press MEMORY, move to a memory location and
when the desired memory value is displayed, press CLEAR, "CLR" is
displayed. Press CLEAR again to clear the data and "– – – –" is dis-
played to confirm deletion.
All clear: Press CLEAR and hold until the display shows "ALL" then
press CLEAR again and "– – – –" is displayed to confirm deletion.
Downloading Memory Data
1. Press ON/OFF to turn on.
2. Press MEMORY and after memory data is displayed press MEMORY
again and "FA" is displayed. Use UP or DOWN/SHIFT to select the
first memory location then press MEMORY and "LA" is displayed.
Use UP or DOWN/SHIFT to select the last memory location.
Press MEMORY again and data is sent.While data is output -P- is
displayed.
Statistics
Press STATISTICS and the number of data, Max, Min, and Avg are dis-
played in sequence.
Auto Power Off
To maximize the life of the battery, power automatically shuts off
after 10 minutes of non-use.
Low Battery Indicator
Battery indicator status shows full, half or needs recharging.
If the battery is empty, power is turned off immediately.
IMPORTANT! Use the provided CEDAR AC adapter/charger
exclusively and plug into the correct AC output. It takes 3
hours to fully recharge for 12 hours of continuous use. When fully
charged, the charge light goes off.
System Reset
When battery power is completely depleted, the tester may not
work even though it has been recharged. In this case, press the
System Reset Button.
