Outline The CES-G series is a small capacity type digital torque wrench for tightened bolt inspection and bolt tightening work. The angle measurement function enables advanced tightening work based on torque and angle. In addition, by installing an optional wireless module, measurement data and OK/NG judgment results can be transmitted wirelessly.

Explanation of each mode CES-G has a Measurement mode and a Display mode, each with different functions. 1. Measurement mode Measurement mode 1 (Inspection mode) • Measurement mode 1 is mainly used together with the higher and lower limit torque display mode (peak mode) for retightening and loosening torque inspections.

MEM key will reset the CPU then press the C (POWER) key again. * If the “Err9” display does not disappear, there may be an abnormality in the sensor or circuit board. Please contact your distributor or Tohnichi. 3. Angel speed check/zero adjustment With the angle setting ON, when turning on the power, angle speed check will be automatically conducted to make zero adjustment.
8. Residual battery indicator Residual battery amount is indicated on the display as follows: Full Half remaining Time to charge battery No battery. Please charge immediately. In this condition, “LoBATT” appears on LCD screen and all keys, Flashing except for power key will be disabled, and it automatically turns off in 1 minute.
