IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING - TO AVOID DAMAGING DIGITAL TORQUE ADAPTER
• Never operate digital torque adapter when powered OFF. Always power adapter ON prior
to applying torque.
• Never use this digital torque adapter to loosen fasteners as damage may occur.
• Do not exceed the rated maximum torque value for the digital torque adapter as break-
age and/or a loss of accuracy could occur.

POWERING ON DIGITAL TORQUE ADAPTER
Press Mode button to turn digital torque adapter on and activate auto-zeroing process.
CAUTION:
Auto-zeroing process Normal mode
(Preset number 0 shown)
Make sure the displayed applied torque value is zero during the auto-zeroing period. Otherwise a
torque offset will be included.
SELECTING MEMORY PRESETS
Select 1 of 10 user programable memory presets.
Press
Normal mode
(Preset number 0 shown)
Press to scroll through ten (10) user programable memory presets.

SELECTING UNITS OF MEASURE
1. With the unit on, press the (Digit shift) key to display the “normal mode” screen.
2. Press the (Digit shift) key to the activate the “set torque value” screen (far right digit flashes).
3. Press the the (Units) key to toggle the Units of measure indicator until the desired unit of mea-
sure is displayed.
4. Five different unit selections are available: kg-cm, k-gm, in-lb, ft-lb, and N-m.
Press Press Press
NOTE:
When you change units, any target torque setting you have already entered will now be displayed in
the new unit value.
SETTING PRESET VALUES
1. With the unit on, press the (Digit shift) key to display the “normal mode” screen.
2. Press the (Digit shift) key to the activate the “set torque value” screen (far right digit flashes).
3. Press the the key until the desired first digit value is displayed (0 through 9).
4. Press the (Digit shift) key to move to the next higher digit position.
5. Repeat steps three (3) and four (4) as needed to enter the desired target torque value.

ATTENTION
If the value of the presetting being programmed exceeds 120% of
the rated maximum torque capacity of the adapter, the value will be
automatically reset to zero.
SELECTING PEAK HOLD/TRACKING MODES
In Track mode - The display will register “real-time” torque as it is applied. This is useful when you
are able to observe the digital display while applying torque to a fastener. Watching the torque value
increase can assist you in applying torque evenly and safely, especially as you approach your target
torque setting.

PEAK HOLD MODE OPERATION
In Peak hold mode, the digital display shows the maximum torque applied, which can be helpful for
verifying that the correct torque was applied when the digital display is not visible during use. This
mode is also handy when using the adapter to calibrate a torque wrench.

BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT
1. Requires one (1) DC 3V, CR2032.
2. Unscrew battery cover fastener with a jewelers’ phillips screwdriver.
3. Remove the battery cover.
4. Remove the old battery.
5. Clean battery terminals.
6. Install fresh battery in the digital torque adapter (with the “+” sign end facing upward).
7. Replace the battery cover and screw tight.
Note
• Remove battery if stored for a long period of time.
• Oil, water, dirt and sweat can prevent a battery’s terminals from making electrical contact. Wipe
both terminals before installing batteries.
Battery disposal
Only dispose of battery when fully discharged.
DO NOT dispose of battery in a fire.
Dispose of expended batteries and packaging materials in an environmentally responsible manner.

CALIBRATING A TORQUE WRENCH USING DIGITAL ADAPTER
1. Set your torque wrench to a value of approxi-
mately 25% of its maximum capacity. For
example, if your torque wrench has a maximum
capacity of 150 lb-ft, set it to 40 lb-ft.
2. Program the digital torque adapter for a torque
value that matches the torque wrench setting.
In our example, you would set the adapter for
40 lb-ft. Ensure the adapter is in the “peak”
mode as this will make it easy to reference
actual torque versus the torque indicated on
the wrench.
3. Connect the pre-set torque wrench and the
your calibration adapter (not inculded) to the
digital torque adapter. Secure the calibration
adapter in a bench vise. Ensure the calibration
adapter is securely tightened in the vise.
4.Turn the torque wrench smoothly and steadily,
applying torque to the calibration adapter until
your torque wrench reaches the preset value,
either by “clicking” (micrometer style torque
wrench), or displaying the desired setting
(digital or dial torque wrench).
5. Read the peak torque value shown on the digi-
tal torque adapter. Adjust your torque wrench
and repeat the procedure until the trque
wrench and digital torque adapter show identi-
cal torque values.
