POWER ON SEQUENCE
NOTE: Do not turn on tool while torque is applied, otherwise torque zero offset will be incorrect and
tool will indicate a torque reading when torque is released. If this occurs, re-zero tool by
momentarily pressing POWER button while tool is vertical on a stable surface with no
torque applied.
Turn on Tool
1. Hold tool in a vertical position, momentarily press POWER button. Norbar logo is displayed followed
by torque re-zeroing screen. If previous measurement was angle measurement, then angle re-zeroing
screen follows the torque zeroing screen. After re-zeroing, the target torque or target angle screen is
displayed depending on previous measurement mode.
2. Select Measurement Mode
Toggle between target TORQUE and ANGLE screens by repeatedly pressing ENTER button.
NOTE: If tool is powered up in torque only measurement mode, angle is not zeroed until mode is
changed to angle measurement mode, at which time torque and angle zeroing begins
automatically after 2 seconds. Tool should be placed on a stable surface with no torque
applied.
NOTE: Pressing ENTER button while angle is zeroing will abort zeroing function to allow user
to select another measurement mode.
