User manual Smart Socket™
8.1 Operating Modes
Under the Tool drop down menu located in the RT Data Logger software select Setup, then select the desired
operation modes.
Operating modes:
1. Target Pass/Fail enable:
• When the Target Pass/Fail Enable is disabled, the Smart Socket™ will be in Audit mode and will measure,
record and display the torque according to the measurement mode selected.
• When the Target Pass/Fail Enable is enabled, Pass/Fail indication via the screen will be updated based on
the desired tolerance within target.
2. Large font:
• When large font is enabled, the Smart Socket™ screen will display the torque readings in a larger font
3. Redo screen:
• For purpose of bolt number and data log synchronization, if this mode is enabled and a target Fail occurs,
user will have to press the centre button and then they will be prompted with Redo? Yes or No.
• Pressing the corresponding keypad button below Y for yes will cause the bolt ID to be maintained for the
next torque cycle, but as an appended record. Where the Retry # is the number of times the bolt has been
retried and the Target # is the current setpoint.
• Pressing the corresponding keypad button below, N for no will cause the bolt ID to be incremented on the
next torque cycle.
4. Cal mode:
• When cal mode is enabled, the screen of the Smart Socket™ will display raw data values that come from
the strain gauges. These numbers are not in any torque units.
5. Real time graphs:
• The Smart Socket™ must be connected to the data logger during the torque cycle for real time graph mode
to
work.
• When real time graphs is enabled, the user can view a live graph of the torque cycle on the RT Data Logger
software. To view the live graph, go to the Tool tab and press Graph Torque.
When a pull is done with the Smart Socket™, a live graph will be created on the torque vs time screen.
9. Safety
RAD tools are developed for tightening and loosening threaded fasteners using very large forces. For
your safety and that of others, warning labels and attention labels are prominently attached to the torque
wrench and its accessories.
RAD tools have been designed with safety in mind however, as with all tools you must observe all general
workshop safety practices, and specifically the following:
• Before using your new tool, get familiar with all its accessories and how they work.
• Always wear safety goggles when the tool is in operation.
• Make sure the reaction arm is in contact with a solid contact point before you operate the tool.
• Keep your body parts clear of the reaction arm and the contact point.
• Make sure the reaction arm snap ring is securely in place to hold the reaction arm or blank in place.
RAD tools are safe and reliable. Not following precautions and instructions outlined here can result in
injury to you and your fellow workers. RAD Torque Systems B.V. incorporated is not responsible for any
such injury.

NOTE:
Make sure you observe the directions on the warning labels at all times.
