Electronic torque wrench HCT, maximum torque: 12N·m

• Display: Large sharp contrast illuminated 2 inch TFT display with viewing angle stability. With battery display.
• Fixed ratchet with changeover lever.
• Display: Peak and Track function modes.
• Modes: Displaying torque, triggering torque.
• Screw tightening profiles and procedures can be programmed both directly at the wrench and also conveniently via the app.
• Possible wireless applications: HCT Windows app and HCT mobile app. The analyser has a bi-directional interface. The analyser can also be used independently (without the app).
• App: The Bluetooth® dongle No. 498999 STICK (license) and the Windows app software are required to activate the HCT Windows app (https://hog.tools/win-app-hct). The HCT mobile app is available free of charge for iOS and Android.
• Data output: Via Bluetooth®. Available via the app as a .csv file, or directly at the torque wrench via the HID interface for simple and convenient digital documentation.
• Wireless approval: The torque wrenches with Bluetooth® interface have valid wireless approval in all EU countries, in Switzerland, in Norway, Turkey and the UK.
• Password protection: possible as protection against unauthorised access to the menu (master password).
• Warning signals are haptic (vibration), visual (change of colour on the display) and acoustic (buzzer). The pre-warning point can be configured individually. Haptic and acoustic warning signals can be disabled if desired.
• Easy input of reference dimensions: When using extensions, simply input the new value (additional reference dimension). No laborious calculations with formulae.
• Protection class IP40
• The single-component handle of the torque wrench ensures especially good ergonomics and high torque transmission.
• Resistant to oils, grease, fuel, brake fluid and Skydrol.
• Languages: German, English, Spanish, Italian, French.
• Factory settings: The wrench can be reset to the factory settings.
• Time and date on the wrench are updated automatically as soon as it is connected to the app.
• Display of the software version with serial number, load cycle counter and calibration date.
• Calibration reminder: after number of load cycles.
• Counting function: Load cycle counter is optionally displayed on the screen. This value can be reset at any time.
• Last measurement: The last measurement performed can be called up quickly and easily in the main screen.
• Premium features: The rotational angle measurement can be activated individually via our GO DIGITAL STORE as an additional licence. Can be found at http://ho7.eu./holex-hct.

Units of measure: Nm, lbfft, lbfin.

Please update the application and Bluetooth® firmware of your HCT torque wrenches to take full advantage of the benefits! Application firmware from 1.1.10, Bluetooth® firmware from 1.3.6.

Advantages of wireless transmission with Bluetooth®:

• Simple data transmission: At the push of a button the measuring result is transmitted directly to your PC application (such as Excel or Word) or to your mobile phone - no dongle necessary.
• Freedom of movement: No messy data transmission cables.
• Independence of location: Measurements can be performed directly to the machine and transmitted by radio to your application.
• Reliable data transmission: No read errors and transmission errors - multiple measuring devices can be linked together.

Tested to DIN EN ISO 6789.

Torque: Clockwise ±2 %, anticlockwise ±3 %.
