3. Enstalasyon
Follow these steps to set up your DTXA-10N unit for operation:
- Debake: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all standard accessories listed in Section 2 are present.
- Koneksyon pouvwa: Connect the provided AC adapter to the unit's power input and plug it into a suitable power outlet. The unit can also operate on its internal BP-308 battery. Ensure the battery is charged before initial use.
- Table and Pin Installation: The standard table and pins are pre-installed. If using optional tables or attachments, refer to their specific instructions for installation. Ensure the table is securely fastened.
- Plasman: Place the DTXA-10N on a stable, level surface to ensure accurate measurements.
- Premye pouvwa sou: Press the power button to turn on the unit. The organic EL display should illuminate.

4. Operasyon Enstriksyon
The DTXA-10N offers various modes and functions for precise torque measurement:
- Sample Placement: Place the cap or container to be tested securely on the standard table, ensuring it is centered and stable. The adjustable pins can be moved to accommodate samples from φ20mm to 160mm.
- Seleksyon mòd: Use the mode button to switch between Peak Hold mode (displays the maximum torque value achieved during the test) and Normal mode (displays the current torque value).
- Seleksyon inite: Toggle between N-m and N-cm measurement units as required for your application.
- Fè yon tès: Apply torque to the cap (either opening or closing) while observing the display. The unit will capture and display the torque value according to the selected mode.
- Pass/Fail Judgment: Set upper and lower torque limits in the settings. During a test, if the measured torque falls within the set range, an "OK" indicator will light up. If it's outside the range, "+NG" (over) or "-NG" (under) lamps will illuminate, providing immediate feedback for quality control.
- Oryantasyon ekran: The display can be inverted vertically to suit the user's viewing angle or operational direction.
- Anrejistre done:
- Memwa Entèn: The unit can store up to 1000 data points internally.
- USB memwa: For continuous data saving, connect a USB memory stick (not included) to the unit via the provided adapter. Data can be saved at a sampling speed of 100 times per second.
- Koneksyon PC: Use the included ZT-Logger software and USB cable to connect the DTXA-10N to a PC. Data can be transmitted at 10 data points per second and saved in CSV format for further analysis.
- Angle Measurement (Optional): If angle input/output is required, connect a compatible angle meter (sold separately) to the unit.
