Operating Instructions; How To Measure Screwdriver Torque Using The Fidaptor - HIOS HP-10 Operation Manual

■ Operating instructions

First check the state of the battery charge. When
the power is on and the battery has an insuffi cient
charge, the display reads "LOBAT." When this
happens, use the battery charger to recharge the
battery for at least 3 hours and no more than 6
hours.
1. Make sure the digital torque meter is stable.

3. Conduct zero adjustment. Set 【 MODE 】 switch
to "TRACK", then press both the 【 SET 】 and
【▲】 switches at the same time for less than 2
seconds. This adjusts the meter to zero. (Note:
If you press the switches for than 2 seconds, the
meter will go into another mode. If this hap-
pens, press 【 RESET 】 , then repeat the zero
adjustment process.)
4. Set 【 MODE 】 switch to "PEAK" or "F.PEAK".
 In peak mode the peak torque value reached
during measurement is displayed. Thus, the dis-
play does not change. Model HP-100 measures
up to 10 N•m of torque, which corresponds to
a display value of 15. Please conduct measure-
ments within this range.
 In "F.PEAK" mode the first peak value is
displayed and does not change even if higher
torque is applied.
5. Press the 【 RESET 】 switch to cancel the dis-
play.
6. Minus signs appear in front of measurements of
counterclockwise torque.
7. To output data using a Mitutoyo Input Tool, set
the No. 3 connector of the DIP switch (page 8)
to the on position (so the "P.ON" LED lights),
set the 【 MODE 】 switch to "PEAK" and press
the 【 RESET 】 switch (which functions the
same as the Enter key on a computer) . The
Input Tool will convert the measurement data
for direct input to a spreadsheet application. In
order to output data, please conduct measure-
ment within the instrument's peak measurement
range, as indicated in the specifi cations.
 Minus signs denoting counterclockwise torque
are transferred with the measurement data.
8. Use the Fidaptor to measure torque of power
screwdrivers, as explained below.
9. It is possible to fashion adapters for torque mea-
surement of other types of tools. (See "Using

10.Be sure to turn off the power and remove the
tool from the socket when you are fi nished mea-
suring.
■ How to measure screwdriver
torque using the Fidaptor
1. Insert the Fidaptor into the digital torque me-
ter's socket, then fi t the bit of the screwdriver to
in)
•
be measured into the head of the Fidaptor. The
Fidaptor is for bits of 5 mm. Model HP-100
comes with two threaded shafts in addition to
the Fidaptor that can be used for three differ-
ent bit diameters. (Refer to diagram on page 10
when changing shock absorber spring.)
2. Take some tension off the Fidaptor's spring by
running the screwdriver in reverse "REV", so
that spring can be turned slightly by hand.
3. Press the reset switch to return the display to
zero.
4. Run the driver in the forward direction "FOR"
until it stops automatically. The Fidaptor spring
will tighten.
5. When the driver stops the display will show the
output torque of the driver.
6. Release the tension on the spring by running
the driver in the reverse "REV" direction, then
press the reset switch to cancel the display.
7. Repeat the above procedure to confirm the
output torque value. Refer to the output torque
guide table in the operating instructions for
your HIOS power screwdriver to set the torque
adjustment nut to an appropriate torque value.
