PRECAUTIONS

DTX2 Cap Torque Tester is a sensitive instrument. The load cell
can be damaged regardless of whether the unit is ON or OFF.

Follow these precautions to keep your DTX2 from being damaged.

1. Do not exceed unit’s capacity regardless if power is on or off.

2. Only use the Imada AC adapter/charger, other brands may cause
serious damage.

3. Accuracy may be affected if unit is exposed to high humidity,
dust or extreme shock.

4. Do not disassemble unit. Disassembly voids warranty.

5. Recommended re-calibration cycle is one (1) year.

6. When operating or moving do not lift or twist the DTX2 table
or carry by holding the knob or table.

7. Before shipping, remove the DTX2 table from the base and
pack both items together.

PREPARATION

The sample table (C) must be assembled with the main unit.

1. Connect AC adapter/charger (AD120) to the tester, then plug
into 115 VAC outlet (AD230 AC adapter/charger for 230VAC).
Tester can also use inter­nal Ni-MH batteries
without plugging into
AC power. Turn on the
tester and check that the
display is at zero and
overload indicator is
not flashing.
