The following are the different modes available with the ETW-A Torque Wrench:
Language Mode
The languages of operation available to the user are: English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian & Spanish.
Unit Mode
The following units of measurement are available; Kgf.cm – kgf.m – cN.m – N.m – ozf.in – lbf.in – lbft.ft
Date Mode
To set the date, month and year.
Set Mode
This mode allows the user to set limits for the torque + angle applied or measured. The operator can choose to set torque values by % or tolerance. During operation the OLED display will be green when approaching the preset tolerance and will change to red if exceeded.
The user can choose from the following Set Modes;
- Set Torque
- Set Torque & Angle
- Set Just Move Preset
Just Angle Mode
In Just Angle Mode, the maximum torque reading will remain on the OLED display when the load is removed as long as the torque loaded is above the 10% of maximum capacity threshold. The angle turned from 5% of the tool span until maximum torque reading is also displayed. The user has the option to store the reading in memory. If storage of the reading is not required, the user may continue to the next measuring task.
Just Move Mode
In Just Move Mode, the torque recorded after a pre-defined number of degrees (Defined in Set Mode) will remain on the OLED display when the load is removed, as long as the torque loaded is above the 10% of maximum capacity threshold. The final torque and final angle measurements will also be displayed. The user has the option to store the reading in memory. If storage of the reading is not required, the user may continue to the next measuring task.
Preset Mode
In Preset mode, the maximum torque reading will remain on the OLED display when the load is removed as long as the torque loaded is above the 10% of maximum capacity
threshold.
• Passing Minimum Value – The green LED on the keypad will flash, and the buzzer will sound intermittently, while the OLED display will change to orange.
• Passing Nominal Value – The green LED on the keypad will turn on, and the buzzer will sound continuously, while the OLED display will change to green.
• Passing Maximum Value – The red LED will flash continuously, and yhe buzzer will sound continuously, while the OLED display will change to red.
Recall Mode
This mode allow the user to view the stored torque and angle data. Only locations containing data will be displayed. Note that as data is stored, the locations are populated sequentially from 01 to 2094.
Upload Mode
This mode allows the user to upload stored torque data. In upload mode, the driver must be connected to a PC running the PC Front-End Software (PCFE) via the ISB port on the Driver and the PC.
Clear Mode
This mode allows the user to clear the stored data from an individual range of locations. Before clearing the selected range and as a safety precaution, the user will be asked are
they sure they wish to clear selected data. This can be done by pressing the confirm button.
Comms Mode
This mode allows the user to select the method of communication. The standard model allows communication by standard USB cable to the included software. For communication by ASCII or BINARY the wrench will need physical modifications in advance.
