Model HTG2
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Model HTG2 is a highly sophisitcated, torque tester which offers
programmable high/low setpoints for go/no go testing. Store up
to 1,000 values into memory, which can be transmitted using
Digimatic or RS-232 formats. Use the Real Time mode to display
torque transients, or the Peak mode to capture the peak torque
achieved during a test. Select measuring units between lbf-in or
ozf, kgf-cm and N-cm.
PRECAUTIONS
HTG2 Torque Tester is a sensitive instrument. The torque sensor
can be damaged regardless of whether the unit is ON or OFF.
Follow these precautions to keep your HTG2 from being damaged.
1. WARNING!! 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.

PEAK MODE DISPLAY
“Or PEAK“ is the factory default which measures peak CW torque
or peak CCW torque. “And PEAK“ measures both peak CW torque
and peak CCW torque during a test. Refer to the F2 function of
the Power-On programming table for the “And PEAK” function.
RECHARGING NI-MH BATTERY
1. To maximize the life of the battery, power is automatically shut
off after 10 minutes of non-use or user-defined interval.
Automatic shut off is bypassed during USB output or when
used with the AC adapter/charger.
2. Battery icon will flash when the gauge needs to be
recharged.
3. Push to turn off power. Only use the IMADA AC adapter/
charger provided, AD120 for 115VAC, AD230 for 230VAC. Plug
into the correct AC output. It takes 10 hours to charge fully.
Tare
KEY
Clamp test sample firmly by tightening the
key. If necessary, press to tare before the
test. Pressing also clears the peak reading.
TURN MEASURING
CHUCK BY HAND
If High and Low setpoints have been programmed (see page 5),
for example, 5 lbf-in is set as Low and 10 lbf-in as High, the
ORANGE LED light for measurements less than 5 lbf-in (Low setpoint). GREEN lights between 5–10 lbf-in and RED lights over 10
lbf-in (High setpoint). Setpoint output is available through the
Communications port (see page 7).
After measuring, press the button to transmit data to:
RS-232 models: RS-232C or Digimatic devices
Storing Data into Memory
During measurement whether Peak or Real Time, press to store
and display up to 1000 torque values into memory. (If no data is
stored – – – – – is displayed then flashing CF9 with solid End).
4. When the gauge is turned off, make sure the AC adapter/charger
is disconnected to avoid overcharging.
