TARGET TORQUE INDICATION

The DTL torque wrench will alert you to reaching 90% of the target value
by an audible beep and a green LED light. When you reach 100% the
beep will change to a steady tone. When the torque applied is greater
than the target a red light will illuminate above the green.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

1. Do not Over-torque (105% of Max. torque capacity). Over-torqueing
can damage torque wrench or cause it to lose accuracy.

2. If Er0 is displayed when the wrench is powered on, it indicates that it
has been overloaded and should be returned to the factory for
service.

3. Remove battery when storing for long period of time.

4. Do not use this torque wrench as a hammer.

5. Do not expose to excessive heat, humidity, or direct sunlight.

6. Do not use the torque wrench near water.

7. If the torque wrench gets wet, wipe it with a dry towel as soon as
possible. The saltwater can be especially damaging.

8. Do not use organic solvents, such as alcohol or paint thinner when
cleaning the torque wrench.

9. Keep this torque wrench away from magnets.

10. Do not expose this torque wrench to dust or sand as this could cause
serious damage.

11. Do not apply excessive force to the LCD panel.

BEFORE USING THE TORQUE WRENCH

Battery Installation

 Remove the battery cover

 Insert one (1) AAA batteries

with positive end facing the
front of the torque wrench

 Reinstall battery cover and

rotate to lock it in place.
Take care to line up arrows
on cap and back of torque
wrench wh e n in s t a l l i n g .

POWER ON AND RESETTING
THE TORQUE WRENCH



Press C to power on the torque wrench

 Press C to zero the torqu e torque wrench before use
 NOTE: After pressing C the target torque val ue will be displayed

ATTENTION:

1. If an external force is applied to the torque wrench during power-on
or zeroing an initial torque offset will exist in memory.

2. The measuring unit and operating mode (track / peak) are stored in
memory. Once set they will be permanently stored.

SLEEP MODE

The torque wrench will automatically go to sleep after 5 minutes of non­use. Press C to wake the torque wrench from sleep.

INSTALLING SOCKET

The DTL torque wrench uses standard 1/4” (6.35mm)
sockets. To remove the socket press the release
button on the top of the wrench head.

SELECTING UNITS OF MEASURE

The DTL torque wrench can display measurements in Newton Meters
(N-m), Pound-Inch (lb-in), Pound-Foot (lb-ft) and Kilogram Centimeter
(Kg-cm). The selected measuring unit is displayed right side of the
display.

Press the U/S to switch between measuring units.

SELECTING TRACK / PEAK MODE

The DTL can display torque in TRACK or PEAK mode. When in track
mode the torque wrench will display the target torque while there is no
torque applied, when torque is applied the torque wrench will display
real-time torque value until pressure is removed, then the display will
show the target value. In peak mode the torque wrench will display the
target torque while there is no pressure applied, when pressure is
applied the torque wrench will display and hold the highest value
measured until pressure is removed from the torque wrench then
applied again or the C (zero) key is pressed.

To select TRACK or PEAK mode press and hold the U/S key for 2
seconds, the display will show MODE, then press the up or down arrow
key to select between PEAK or TRACK mode (indicated by a small P or
T in the bottom right corner of the display). Then press the U/S key two
times to confirm your selection and return to measurement mode.

SETTING TARGET TORQUE

The DTL has 1 adjustable preset target value. The preset value is
displayed on the screen after C is pressed. To adjust the preset press
the UP / DOWN arrow keys to set the target value. The wrench saves
both target torque and unit of measure when the torque wrench is
powered off.
