Once the pump pressure is set it can be locked and no monitoring or additional adjustment is necessary thereby keeping to the +/-3% accuracy goal. While the electric E-RAD is faster, its dependability in the field may be suspect. Our solution to the speed issue is an auto-cycling hydraulic pump which enables you to push the control button once and the tool turns continuously to torque.
