Use the ‘UP’ arrow key to select the desired unit of measure. 5.3.6.2 The Torq-Tronics 2 supports operation in English, S.I. and Metric units of Measure. 5.3.6.3 Important note: Changing the unit of measure causes the test point to be reset to zero.
Operation Please follow the procedure for each wrench tested. Be sure the Torq-Tronics 2 tester has been exercised three times to capacity in the direction CW or CCW that it will be used. Adjustable wrenches should also be exercised three times at 4 different points along the scale of capacity before beginning the test.
+/- 2% a calibration unit must have a minimum accuracy factor of +/-.5%. The Torq-Tronics 2 has an accuracy factor of +/- 0.5% meaning it can calibrate torque wrenches with an accuracy factor of +/-2%. It is also capable of calibrating wrenches with a lesser accuracy such as +/- 6%.
