11: How To Test a Power Tool

11.1

Select Power Tool mode of testing by pressing PEAK

TORQUE and then press the UP ARROW key. There are 10

filters resident in Torq-Tronics 2 numbered from 0 to 9. Use

the DOWN ARROW to scroll through options and select the

appropriate filter.

11.2

Select the units of measure for the tool by pressing the

UNITS key and the UP ARROW until you find your unit of

measure. Then press the UNITS key again.

11.3

To set the TEST POINT press the TEST POINT button.

Six digits are shown on the display and the decimal point is

on the far left. Pressing the UNIT button moves the decimal

point to the right. Once the appropriate decimal place (or

increment) is found, press the UP ARROW to move the

TEST POINT value to the appropriate setting. Once the

test point has been reached press the TEST POINT button

again to return to normal functioning.

11.4

Press the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to change the

Percent of Accuracy Value appropriate for the tool being

tested.

11.5

When you have reached the appropriate torque value range for the tool, press TEST

POINT again.

11.6

Press ZERO to clear any offset on the transducer. NEVER press ZERO to clear an offset

when a power tool is engaged in the tester.

11.7

Engage the power tool to the tester and begin testing.

11.8

NEVER TEST IMPACT TOOLS ON Torq-Tronics 2.

12: How to Test Digital Torque Wrenches

12.1

Power up the digital tool and allow it to boot up.

12.2

Engage the torque wrench to the tester.

12.3

Slowly apply force to the grip of the wrench until the wrench

displays the torque test point. To obtain an accurate reading,

make sure the pressure is applied perpendicular to the drive

square; do not push in, out, forward or back on the grip.

12.4

Release pressure on the wrench when the wrench attains the

test point.

12.5

The actual torque at the test point will be displayed on the

tester display.

12.6

Remember: Torq-Tronics 2 has an accuracy of +/- .5%. Some digital torque wrenches

have a +/- 1% accuracy. To comply with the 4 to 1 standard accuracy ratio for testers

and wrenches, to test a wrench with +/- 1% you must use a tester with +/-.25 accuracy.
Note: Some digital tools require programming in order to test please review the tools

owners manual for proper test methodology.
