Torq-Tronics 2 Overview

Torque tool verification and calibration are vital parts of any quality process that includes

threaded fasteners. Torque values are engineered to keep specified pressure on a joint. If

the tool is out of calibration, the chances of applying the appropriate pressure or torque

value are slim.
Torq-Tronics 2 is engineered to provide the torque verification and calibration process

with a simple, durable, rugged, and reliable foundation. Torq-Tronics 2 is a valuable

resource in providing historical information about your torque tools, how well they stay in

spec, how long they last, and which employees are more or less likely to have tools that go

out of spec.
This manual provides you with the detailed information you need to maximize usage of

Torq-Tronics 2. For more information go to www.srtorque.com or go to the USB stick

that was provided with the unit. There you will find videos, and additional resources.
The new Torq-Tronics 2 has been engineered with new safeguards to help protect your

equipment and your quality processes.

International Safety Recommendations

For your safety and the safety of others, read and understand the safety recommendations

before installing or operating the Torq-Tronics 2®.
Torq-Tronics 2® Digital Torque Testers are designed and constructed to provide the user with

a safe and reliable means of calibrating torque wrenches and power tools. Should a fault oc-

cur which impairs its function and/or compromises its safe use, immediately disconnect the

unit from its power source and secure against unintended operation. Under no circumstanc-

es should repair be attempted by persons not qualified in the service of electronic instrumen-

tation. Please contact our customer service department at

[email protected] to schedule a return.

When testing a tool torque, always wear protective equipment:

For additional information on eye and face protection, refer to Federal OSHA Regu-

lations, 29CFR § 1910.133, Eye and Face

Protection, and American National Standards

Standards Institute, Inc., 11 West 42nd Street,

New York, NY 10036.
Hearing protection is recommended in high

noise areas of 85 dBA or greater. The opera-

tion of other tools and equipment in the area,

reflective surfaces, process noises and resonant

structures can substantially contribute to, and

increase the noise level in the area. Excessive

air pressure above 90 PSI or worn motor components can also increase sound level emit-

Safety FIRST: To avoid

possible injury, always

follow these following

precautions:

• Wear safety glasses or

goggles at all times. The

Torq-Tronics 2 and AC

Adaptor are for dry location

use only.

• Do not stand in water when

using tester or allow tester to

get wet.

• Be sure torque wrench

properly engages torque

tester prior to applying

torque.

• The installation location

must be capable of resisting

the torque transmitted to

it during tester use without

moving the tester or tipping

the mounting.

• Maintain firm footing and

balanced body position

when applying torque.
