Controlling torque is quintessential for companies to ensure that product's quality, safety and reliability isn't compromised. Insufficiently torqued fasteners can vibrate loose overtime and when excessively torqued the threaded fasteners can strip. Using a quality torque tester has become increasingly important for many companies to secure that proper torque is being applied. Recommended for all hand screwdrivers, wrenches, or power tools. Measuring range with built in transducer: K1 0.05-1 Nm, K5 0.3-5 Nm, K20 0.5-20 Nm The K1.K5.K20 Torque Tester is built for accuracy and reliability...

It is strongly recommend securing the tester through slots 1Ӕ to a workbench before operating. Immobilizing the tester when checking torque values over 1 Nm is critical for the safety the operator as well as for the accuracy of torque measurements during operation. > The Joint Simulator (JS) consists of a screw compressing a series of washers (see 13. on page 8). The way the washers are mounted can simulate soft or hard joint. The screw comes with a ܔ hex male head for proper fit to any ܔ hex female screwdriver drive. Hardened thread components increase accuracy and life. One semi-elastic...

Insert the joint simulator into its 13mm hex. seat and make sure the screw is in its upper position (if not run the driver anticlockwise to unscrew it). The tester is ready. Run the joint simulator screw all the way down until it stops and read the torque value on the display. Run the screw up to be ready for the next cycle. Press the ON/ESCӔ key for 3 seconds to switch the tester off. The Tester features a built-in auto shut off mode function to save power when not in use. If there is no activity for 5 minutes, such as key press or no torque input, the tester will shut down. To restore...

DATE : You can set day, month, year, hour and minute. Key sequence to change values: Date +Ӕor -Ӕ. OK > TRESHOLD : The parameter thresholdӔ indicates the minimum torque level you need to measure.Values below this level will not be displayed. This setting enables the system to have excellent immunity to spurious signals. Key sequence to change values: Treshold +Ӕor -Ӕ. OK > ZERO : All transducers can experience some drift in the zeroӔ or zero offsetӔ point when shifting torque from clockwise to counter clockwise or vice versa and when the transducer has not been used for a certain time. This...

The Connect ToӔ screen will appear. Just click OK, or if you want to change the COM port, select the appropriate COM port and click OK. The COM2 PropertiesӔ screen will appear.

The K5 K20 testers are maintenance free. The electronics and the internal transducer have no wearing parts. The rechargeable battery has an expected life of 300 charging cycles. Standard 9V non-rechargeable batteries can also be used. The internal transducer should be calibrated every 12 to 30 months, depending on the frequency of use. WARNING: The overload protection of the internal transducer is limited to 125% of nominal value. Damages due to overloading will result in inaccurate readings and will not be covered by our warranty. Every Kolver product is thoroughly checked and tested...
