1.1 Safety instructions 

torque wrench, please observe the following points: 

To ensure safe working with your SALTUS® 

- This torque wrench is a tightening tool which allows a defined torque to be applied to 

fasteners and may only be used by authorised staff after the appropriate training. 

- To guarantee accurate readings and to prevent accidents, the torque wrench must be 

gripped firmly by the handle - and only the handle - at all times while it is being used. 

- Before using the tool, check that it shows no signs of damage and only use perfect tools. 

Never use damaged tools! 

- The electronic components used in conjunction with this tool must be operated extremely 

carefully and in compliance with legal provisions for accident prevention. 

- Only apply force to the wrench up to the maximum rated value. Overloading the wrench 

can cause it to rupture (danger of personal injury). 

- Do not use a torque wrench to loosen seized bolts and rusty screws because there is 

considerable risk of damage to the wrench. 

- Make sure the torque wrench is never exposed to fluids and do not allow foreign bodies to 

penetrate the tool. Otherwise, the torque wrench may be damaged. 

- Observe the maximum tightening torques recommended by the manufacturers of the 

fasteners. 

- Do not apply pressure to the display because this might damage it.

2. Operation 

2.1.0 Switching on 

Turn on the wrench by pressing the ON/OFF switch for 1 sec. The wrench will perform a 

self-test including a zero balance and angle zeroing and is ready for use after the zeroing 

message has been displayed. Angle zeroing should be performed while the wrench is still 

in its cradle or, if it is not, the wrench must not be moved at all. When the wrench is in its 

cradle, zeroing is performed automatically every 60 s (Tara), during which the keypad is 

blocked. After zeroing has completed, the display will show the current reading 0.00 Nm, 

the unit of measure (e.g. Nm), the current joint, the direction of rotation (R or L), the 

current measuring mode (M0 = torque/angle, M1 = torque, M2 = track , M3 = prevail 

torque, M4 = loosen, M5 = torque and/or angle, M6 = yield strength detection) and the 

current sequence.

M0 Measuring method: Torque/angle-controlled measurement (N) default 

This measuring method measures the peak torque and angle values in the prescribed 

torquing direction. Once the snug point has been reached, angle measurement begins. 

The stored data record contains the following code: N. 

3.2.2.2 Main menu: Joint: Measuring method: Torque measurement

per second via the RS232 interface. Press the Print button to stop this mode. The 

stored data record (peak values) contains the following code: A. 

In this measuring method, a tightening curve memory is filled with 100 measured pairs of 

readings per second (maximum duration is 12 s per curve), this is then used as a ring 

storage system (max. 5 curves). Each new reading deletes the oldest stored reading.

This measuring method determines the breakaway torque (B) , prevail torque (P) and the 

end torque (E). Autoprint must be activated for this function and preangle/bending 

compensation should both be 0°. From the snug point on (240 Nm), the graph is recorded 

and the minimum torque value (275 Nm) must be exceeded. On the basis of the preset 

parameters, an existing joint is deliberately exceeded by e.g. 5° and the upper tolerance 

level at the final torque achieved is monitored. Each value (L, PT, FT) is separately 

evaluated: in this example, torque (breakaway torque) shows RED initially and then goes 

GREEN at the end of the measurement because the final torque is OK. Three data 

records are stored under the following codes: B, P and F. In this measuring method, a 

tightening curve memory is filled with 100 measured pairs of readings per second 

(maximum duration is 12 s per curve), this is then used as a ring storage system (max. 5 

curves). Each new reading deletes the oldest stored reading.

This measuring method measures the smallest torque reading and the largest angle in the

begins. Here, the joint is loosened by a defined tightening angle and the loosening torque 

recorded. The stored data record contains the following code: U.

In this mode, the torque existing at the point where the yield point (S) is exceeded and the 

final torque (FT) are calculated. Autoprint must be activated for this function and 

preangle/bending compensation should both be 0°. From the snug point on, the graph is 

recorded and the minimum torque value must be exceeded. If the pitch as defined at Point 

3.7.5.0 drops (e.g. to 50%), 2 data records are stored with these codes: S and E. 

In this measuring method, a tightening curve memory is filled with 100 measured pairs of

the torque wrench has to be recharged in the charging cradle. If the battery is completely 

flat, recharging will take approx. 10–12 hours. A normal charge will take approx. 1-2 hours. 

During the charging process (with the wrench switched off), the progress bar will be seen 

on the display. The charge control monitors the recharging process and switches off the 

charger when the battery is fully charged. 

If the wrench is in the charging cradle but switched on, the message "Tara" appears on 

the display.

If the wrench is in its charging cradle, the angle 

zeroing process takes place automatically as a 

background process. 

The wrench is ready for use at any time. 

During this process, the main menu is blocked. 

. 

IMPORTANT: Only use the cradle supplied with the wrench! 

4.2 Changing the battery 

First, switch the wrench off by pressing the ON/OFF button for several seconds. 

To change the cells, remove the lid at the end of the handle and replace the 3 

rechargeable batteries(Type: 1.2V NiMH AA 2450 mAh). Your measuring data, history, 

sequences, joints and time data will be retained for the duration of the battery change 

(approx. 10 min). Calibration and tool data are stored in such a way that they are retained 

irrespective of the power supply. . 

Important notes: 

- NEVER turn on the torque wrench without batteries in place as otherwise the stored data 

may be irretrievably lost = reset (sequences, joints, date and time) 

- 


8000.15.2 

Page: 47 / 56



- Leaking batteries and cells can cause damage to torque wrenches. If you intend not to 

use the torque wrench for a longer period, remove the cells. 

- 

- Replace battery cells if you notice they are becoming weaker. When you change cells, 

replace all of them together and use replacements of the same kind. 

- 

- Dispose of old batteries in accordance with legal waste disposal regulations. Do not 

dispose of them with household rubbish. 

5. Data transfer 

5.1 Transferring data to the printer 

You can transfer data records directly from the torque wrench to a printer or PC. For this 

function, any printer or PC with a serial port and a data memory will suffice. 

First, it is necessary to set the torque wrench and the printer to the same communications 

settings. Set both to the same baud rate. The factory setting for the DAZ-TA is 19200 

baud. If you wish to change this, proceed as described at Point 3.7.9.5. 

When the printer or PC is connected, you can then transmit each data record by pressing 

the Print button. At the same time, the wrench is reset to zero, the same as if you press 

the zero button, and is then ready for the next job. 

Every data record contains the following data in this order: 

Sample of a data record:

5.2 Transferring data to and from a PC 

As described at Point 5.1, you can transfer data to a PC rather to the printer. 

You will need a data transfer cable and corresponding software. The SALTUS DAZ-TA 

software is available free-of-charge as a download from www.saltus-werk.de under 

Service Software. 

First, it is necessary to set the torque wrench and the computer to the same 

communications settings. Set both to the same baud rate. The factory setting for the DAZ- 

TA is 19200 baud. If you wish to change this, proceed as described at Point 3.7.9.5. 

When the wrench is connected to the PC, you can transmit each data record to the 

computer software by pressing the Print button. At the same time, the wrench is reset to 

zero, the same as if you press the zero button, and is then ready for the next job. 

In addition, the Saltus software enables you to perform all the settings for the wrench 

online and to read out the calibration details for storage on a data storage medium.
