PROGRAMMING
Press POWER to turn on. Press PRG 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 to move the numeric
place and press UP to select values i.e. 50.0
for 50.0 lbf-in, then press PRG to enter.
2. Low Setpoint (LO)
After High value is entered, "LO" is displayed,
then the Low setpoint value. Press DOWN to
move the numeric place and press the UP to
select values, then press PRG to ent
3. Peak Down Minimum (PdLO)
After Low value is entered, "PdLO" is displayed, then the PdLO
value. Press DOWN to move the numeric place and press the UP
to select values, then press PRG 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.
SELECTING MEASURING MODES
Press ON/OFF to turn on. Press MODE to cycle modes GO, PP, PD or
C. Select desired measuring mode, which becomes the default mode.
GO Real Time, Display torque transient (no output or indicator).
PP Peak, Capture peak torque (peak data output, PP appears on
display).
PD Peak Down, Capture peak down value (peak data output, PD
appears on display).
C Continuous data output, Display and output torque tran-
sients (160 data/sec., solid green LED indicator).

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.
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 connect 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.
4. Continuous Data Output Minimum (CLO)
After Peak Down value is entered, "CLO" is displayed, then the
CLO value. Press DOWN to move the numeric place and press
the UP to select values, then press PRG 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 displayed, then the Auto Zero Reset duration value. Press UP or
DOWN to select 0.0C - 0.1C - 0.5C - 1.0C - 1.5C - 2.0C - 2.5C -
3.0C, and press PRG 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. Batch Counter (CO)
After the Auto Zero value is entered, "CO" is displayed, then the
CO value. Use the UP or DOWN keys to select a value and press
PRG to enter (0-99, clockwise only).
7. Interval (In)
After the Batch Counter value is enetered, "In" is displayed, then
the In value. Use the UP or DOWN keys to select a value and
press PRG to enter (0-24 seconds in 2 second increments).
8. Beeper (bp)
After Interval value is entered, "bp" is displayed, then "On". Press
UP or DOWN to select On, OFF, or FF, then press PRG 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.
9. Units (Un)
After the Beeper is programmed, "Un" is displayed, then the current unit selection. Press UP to cycle the units; lbf-in, ozf-in, kgf-cm,
N-m and cN-m.
After Units are entered, "-S-" is displayed to confirm programming
completion 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– Green LED lights
Over HI– 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– NG flashes and fast beep sounds
In GO and C mode
Under LO setpoint– no LED light or beep
Between LO and HI– GOOD lights and beep sounds
Over HI– 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 values in memory.
1. Measure in PP or PD mode, when the display resets by either
Auto Zero or manually pressing CLR, the peak value is stored.
2. To recall a value, press MEM and the last stored memory is displayed. Press UP or DOWN to select a memory location (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 MEM, then press UP or DOWN to move to a
memory location. When the desired memory value is displayed,
press CLR, "CLR" is displayed. Press CLR again to clear the data and
"– – – –" is displayed to confirm deletion.
Range memory clear: Press MEM, then press UP or DOWN to
move to a memory location. When the desired memory value is displayed, press CLR. While "CLR" is displayed move to another location and press CLR again. "– – – –" is displayed to confirm deletion.
All clear: Press CLR and hold until the display shows "ALL" then
press CLR again and "– – – –" is displayed to confirm deletion.
Downloading Memory Data
1. Press ON/OFF to turn on.
2. Press MEM and after memory data is displayed press MEM again
and "FA" is displayed. Use UP or DOWN to select the first memory location then press MEM and "LA" is displayed. Use UP or
DOWN to select the last memory location. Press MEM again and
data is sent. While data is output -P- is displayed.
Note: By pressing DOWN switch for more than 1 sec, the download
function can be terminated.
Statistics
Press STATISTICS and the number of data, Max, Min, and Avg are displayed 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 5
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.
