The CAPTEST Digital Torque Tester CAPTEST is used to measure and record the torque required for the opening and closing of screw-caps. CAPTEST stores up to 240 readings. The stored data can be sent to the display or to a data printer (e.g. EPSON P40) connected to the serial RS232 port.
When the maximum operating time is reached, the symbol ‘BAT’ is displayed. Please charge your CAPTEST as soon as possible as described above. If you continue using the device without loading, it will switch off automatically shortly afterwards in order to prevent the battery from low-level discharge.
CAPTEST are switched off before connecting. RS-232 protocol: 9600 baud, 8 bit, 1 stop-bit, no parity, no handshake Overload CAPTEST is overload-protected by a mechanical end stop. This protection prevents the internal sensor from being damaged.
‘~’. Now you can apply a well-known torque and check the reading. Safety issues CAPTEST works with low-level voltages. In normal use there is no risk of electric shock. The splashproof housing normally prevents fluids from penetrating, but it should not be exposed to jets of water or immersed, or the electronics may be damaged.
