User manual Smart Socket™
1. General instructions
Ensure that the square drive size of the tool matches the Smart Socket™ model and check the fit is snug.
• Familiarize yourself with the Smart Socket™ models and components.
• Inspect the Smart Socket™ for any apparent damage to the display, keypad and/or body. Do not
charge or use the Smart Socket™ if any component is damaged.
• Press the centre keypad button to wake up the Smart Socket™.
•
Check the displayed battery charge is sufficient for operations.
• Install the Smart Socket™ onto the desired tool by the square drive end:
• Insert the retaining O-ring on the neck of the Smart Socket™ just below the retaining O-ring groove, such
that it does not impede the insertion of the tools square drive, nor the retaining pin.
• Insert the retaining pin through one side of the socket square drive, through the mated tools square drive,
and out the other side of the socket.
• Insert the retaining O-ring into the groove such that it holds the retaining pin in place.
• Pull on the Smart Socket™ away from the mated tool and ensure it is securely retained on the tool.
The Smart Socket™ has been calibrated by a qualified calibration technician; calibration must be done
by a qualified calibration technician.
2. Battery usage and charging
This section provides instructions for safe usage and charging of the Smart Socket™ internal Lithium Polymer
(LiPo) battery.
2.1 General safety and guidelines
The Smart Socket™ is assembled, calibrated and shipped with a rechargeable Lithium Polymer (LiPo) battery.
1.
Batteries are not fully charged as you receive them; they may contain approximately 50% of a full charge.
2. Use the RAD Torque Systems B.V. supplied USB charger only. Do not use any other Lithium Polymer
or NiCd or NiMh charger. Failure to comply may cause a fire, which may result in personal injury and/
or property damage.
3. Never charge the tool unattended. When charging LiPo batteries you should always remain in
constant observation to monitor the charging process and react to potential problems that may occur.
4.
Charge in an isolated area, away from flammable materials.
5. Let the Smart Socket™ and battery cool down or warm up to recommended ambient temperature
before charging.
6. If there is any sign of damage to the charger or charging cable, do not attempt to charge the tool/
battery. Unplug the charger immediately.
7. If there is any sign of damage to the tool housing or to the battery pack, or the battery pack is leaking,
do not attempt to charge or make direct contact. If battery fluid comes into direct contact with skin or
eyes, flush immediately with fresh, clean water and contact a physician.
2.2 Battery charging
Depending on the above mentioned factors and in addition to run-down time, a fully charged battery should have
an operation usage of several thousand bolts.
2.3 Battery removal and replacement
If the tool and battery guidelines are followed, the battery life should exceed the normal recalibrat on interval of
the tool. As a preventative measure the battery should be replaced by RAD Torque Systems B.V. or authorized
service centre at the desired re-calibration interval and only be replaced with an approved battery.
!
WARNING:
Do not operate the tool or charge the batteries before reading the safety instructions
and warnings detailed in this manual. If breakdown, malfunction or damage occurs, do not attempt to
repair; contact RAD Torque Systems B.V. or your local distributor immediately.
!
NOTE:
The pin should be flush on either side of the socket retaining O-ring groove and fully engage
though the tools mated square drive.
