Instruction manual digital torque tester
Thank you for purchasing the digital torque measuring device from SAUTER. We hope
that you will be very satisfied with the high quality of the hardness tester and its
extensive functionality. Although the device is a complex and technically advanced
measuring instrument, it is designed for many years of trouble-free use, provided that
it is used for its intended purpose and properly maintained. Before using the instrument
for the first time, please read this operating manual carefully and ensure that it is
always kept within easy reach during use. For any questions, requests and
suggestions, please contact our customer service department at the telephone number
provided.

1 Before commissioning
Before putting the device into operation, check the delivery for any transport damage
to the packaging, the plastic case and the device itself. If this is the case, contact
SAUTER immediately.
2 General operating information
Functions of the digital torque measuring instrument that are used most frequently (i.e.
display of the torque value, peak hold function, zeroing and changing the displayed
unit) can be called up by pressing a corresponding button on the front panel (see
paragraph Basic functions of the measuring instrument). The setting of the measuring
instrument is done with the menu key (see paragraph Main menu).
3 Initial commissioning
The SAUTER DB digital torque measuring instrument is equipped with a battery set
consisting of 4 rechargeable AAA NiMH batteries. To be on the safe side, the
rechargeable batteries are completely discharged for transport and separated from the
power supply. Insert batteries before using the unit for the first time. To achieve
maximum battery life, recharge the batteries for at least 14-16 hours using the mains
adapter supplied.

6 Operating the torque measuring instrument DB
6.1 Before commissioning
It must be ensured that the measuring plate is neither loaded nor exposed to any other
force when the device is switched on.
6.2 Switching on the device
There are 8 keys arranged on the control panel.
To switch on the device, press the ON/OFF button. A brief autotest will then be
performed, during which the display will show the permissible load value in Newtons.
As soon as the autotest is performed, zero values are displayed, provided that the
measuring plate is unloaded. This is because the meter is automatically zeroed during
the autotest procedure.
Please do not overload the load sensor! Risk of irreparable damage! If the torque
value exceeds 120% of the full scale range, an acoustic signal is triggered and the
symbol OL (eng. overload) appears on the display. If this is the case, remove the test
load and then press the RESET key.
Pressing the ON/OFF key switches the unit off.
When switching off, all current settings are saved, so that the same operating mode is
selected when switching on again.
6.3 Basic functions of the device
The torque gauge can display the torque value for both clockwise (clock-wise, CW,
symbol: ) and counter-clockwise (CCW, symbol: ) operation.
