3.1 Tool Handle:- 

 

The VC-RAD Select is activated with a Trigger Switch. The Forward/Reverse Switch controls the 
direction of rotation. The 4-digit LED display shows the Target Torque and the various user menus. The 
keypad is used to set the desired torque and change tool settings.

package.

all the components listed above.

pressed.

be pressed.

The VC-RAD Select user interface consists of an 
LED display and three-button keypad (See Right). 
The LED display uses four digits to display torque 
values and the various menus. Use the up and down 
buttons are used to modify numbers and navigate 
menus. Use the centre button to enter the Main 
Menu and set options.

VC-RAD Select.

will show the Target Torque once the unit has powered on. The VC-RAD Select will be ready to operate
