ASG ST Series Smart Transducer Digital Torque Tester
Operation Manual
The ASG ST Series Digital TorqueTester is a state of the art device suitable for torque testing
and torque calibration. As a precision tool, it is highly accurate and highly repeatable.
For product portfolio cohesion, the control module uses the same organic LED display,
membrane keypad, user interface and PC based data management software as other
standard products within this range of electronic torque tools. Additionally, training time is
kept to a minimum due to the ease of use of the tool itself.
Our products are demonstrated to have an accuracy of ±0.5% or better, and are both
simple to set and calibrate as well as coming with a fully traceable ISO 6789 certication.
The ASG ST Series Digital Torque Tester has both visual and audible alarms that signal good
or bad torque. Furthermore, there is a visual battery life indicator, alarms for preset value
approach, fastener overload, range overload, and maximum mechanical overload.
Recommended Use
The ASG Digital Torque Tester is specically designed for use in all industrial settings and
applications where high accuracy and repeatability combined with a complete torque data
management and control system are required. This tool is ideal for the regular accuracy
checking required for a torque wrench, and will ensure that on-site tools are compliant and
accurate to the relevant standards.

Installing the Batteries
1. Remove the battery door.
2. Install 4 standard AA or 4 rechargeable
AA batteries in the required orientation.
3. Replace battery door.
4. Turn on the tester and check that the
device powers up.
Note: Standard and rechargeable batteries are
both suitable for use. Rechargeable batteries
should be charged ofine with suitable charger.
Transducer Guidelines
• Store in a dry location
• Do not exceed specied torques
• Do not use external forces on (i.e. a hammer)
• Apply torque perpendicularly to transducer
• Max torque for sockets:
• 1/4” = 30 N.m;
• 3/8” = 135 N.m,
• 1/2” = 400 N.m;
• 3/4” = 1000 N.m;
• 1” = 2000 N.m;

ASG ST Series Smart Transducer Digital Torque Tester
Operation Manual
Interchanging a Transducer
It is possible to interchange transducers with different torque ranges using the same
Smart Control Box (SCB – ASG Number 65200).
Instructions:
• Ensure the SCB power is off
• Unscrew the cable from the connector on the smart transducer
• Screw the cable into the same connector on the desired smart transducer
• Power on the SCB
• Ensure that no error messages appear; the device is now ready to operate
Safety Instructions
The following are a set of general guidelines for using and storing the tester that
should be adhered to at all times.
• All torque tools are precision instruments and should be handled with care
• Do not subject the tool to torque loads in excess of the model range
• Using non-linear extensions may affect the accuracy of the readings
• The use of torque extensions will increase the torque applied
• Do not operate the tool unless it has been powered on and the display screen can
be read clearly
• Do not drop the tool or subject it to heavy impact blows
• Ensure the tool is stored in a cool, dry location to protect from damage
Basic Operation
1. Product label
2. Colored LED warning indicators
3. Use “M” to scroll through the menu or return to the previous screen
4. Use the directional arrows to adjust values such as unites, torque settings, time, etc.
5. Use √ to enter mode, conrm setting or to save result to memory

ASG ST Series Smart Transducer Digital Torque Tester
Operation Manual
Track Mode
As torque is applied, the OLED will actively display the applied
torque reading from 5-100% of the maximum span of the device.
Upon removal of the load, the display will return to zero.
Step 1: Press to scroll to Track Mode.
Step 2: Press to operate in Track Mode.
Peak Mode
In Peak mode, the maximum torque reading will remain on the
OLED display when the load is removed as long as the torque
loaded is above the 10% of maximum capacity threshold. The
user has the option to store the reading in memory. If storage
of the reading is not required, the user may continue to the next
measuring task.
Step 1: Press to scroll to Peak Mode.
Step 2: Press to operate in Peak Mode.
Step 3: Press to store the peak value if required.
Preset Mode
In Preset mode, the maximum torque reading will remain on
the OLED display when the load is removed as long as the
torque loaded is above the 10% of maximum capacity
threshold. Depending on the maximum torque recorded, there
are various warning signals activated:
• Passing Minimum Value: the green LED on the keypad
will ash and the buzzer will sound intermittently. The OLED
display will change to orange.
• Passing Nominal Value: the green LED on the keypad will turn on and the buzzer
will sound continuously. The OLED display will change to green.
• Passing Maximum Value: The red LED will ash continuously and the buzzer will
sound continuously. The OLED will change to red.
Step 1: Press to scroll to Preset Mode.
Step 2: Press to enter Preset Mode.
Step 3: Press to select your preferred preset number (1 to 99).

Click-Torque Mode
In Click-Torque mode, the rst peak reading will remain on the
OLED display when the load is removed as long as the torque
loaded is above the 10% of maximum capacity threshold. This
mode is best suited to capturing the click-out point of a mechanical
click wrench which can then be compared to the etched, printed
dial scale on the tool itself. Once captured, the user has the option
to store the reading to memory. If storage of the reading is not
required, the user may continue to the next measuring task.

Operation Manual
Installing the PCFE
PCFE - “PC Front End” is the standard software that the device communicates with and
is included with the tool.
1. Download the software from the ASG product page on asg-express.com. Select
“setup.exe”
2. Choose one of the following options based on your requirements;
• Demo PCFE: This will allow the user to test the software without installing it
on a PC or laptop.
• Install PCFE.exe: install the software to the PC or laptop for full functionality.
• Instructions - User Manual
3. Install the PCFE.exe
• During the steps for installation, there is a search to ensure the .net framework
is present and installs it from the web if required.
• USB drivers are automatically installed. If there are any issues achieving this
they can also be manually installed from: C:/program les/PCFE/Front-End/USB
Drivers.
• Subsequent to installation, the PCFE icon will appear on the desktop. Double
click the icon and contact ASG for the password.
• At this stage the PCFE window can be resized. Once altered, it will stay as such
until modied again.
PCFE - PC SOFTWARE
Communication with PCFE
1. Connect a USB Cable from PC to the torque device. The HID driver will self-install
and prompt you when the process is complete (See Figure 1).
2. When in the “Select Port” menu from the top left of the PCFE, there will be two
options:
• Com Port 1: Select this option if you require and have the capability of serial
communication.
• Torque Device: This will allow you to connect your torque device via USB.
