Our technical support and engineering teams are eager to assist you. Before use, each person who is to use a HHTQ35 digital torque gauge should be fully trained in appropriate operation and safety procedures.
HHTQ35 Digital Torque Gauges User’s Guide 1 OVERVIEW 1.1 List of included items Qty. Part No. Description 12-1049 Carrying Case 08-1022 AC adapter body with US, EU, or UK prong 08-1026 Battery (inside the gauge) Certificate of calibration 09-1165 USB cable Resource CD (USB driver, user’s guide)
User’s Guide 2 POWER The HHTQ35 is powered either by an 8.4V NiMH rechargeable battery or by an AC adapter. Since these batteries are subject to self discharge, it may be necessary to recharge the unit after a prolonged period of storage.
User’s Guide 3 MECHANICAL SETUP Fig. 3.1 Proper axial loading of HHTQ35 torque gauge. 3.1 Proper alignment Load must be applied axially with respect to the sensor, as shown in Figure 3.1. If attachments are used, ensure that the sample is acted upon axially with respect to the instrument. Side loading or off-center loading can damage the instrument, whether power is turned on or off.
