Operation
1. Connect the tool cable to the iEC controller
and the tool:
The tool cable has curved alignment tabs and slots built into
the connectors at each end to ensure proper alignment and
connection with the tool and controller.
Make sure that power is not turned on at the
controller before making any connections
.
Align the
female connector on the cable with the male connector on the
tool and insert the cable onto the tool, then slide the connector
nut onto the threads on the cable and turn clockwise until
hand-tight.
Align the male connector tab on the other end of the tool
cable with the female slot on the controller and insert the cable
into the connector, then slide the metal outer cover onto the
connection threads on the controller and turn clockwise until
hand-tight.
2. Multifunction Button Operation:
The tool will flash all LED lights three times when power is
first turned on at the controller. After the controller finishes
initializing and displays a target toque value, the multifunction
button (MFB) is used to toggle the tool from clockwise mode
(FWD) to counter-clockwise operation mode (REV). The MFB
is the small button opposite the trigger.
The tool will initially start in clockwise mode and will have no
LED lights turned on. If the trigger is pressed, the tool will
turn on the blue LED meaning the tightening operation is
underway. Pressing the MFB will cause the tool to flash yellow
and red LED lights. Pressing the MFB again will switch the
tool back to FWD mode and will indicate this with no LED
lights turned on.
CAUTION IS REQUIRED. FAILURE TO EXERCISE CAUTION AND CORRECT OPERATING
TECHNIQUE CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, LOSS OF LIMB OR DEATH.

3. Trigger Button Operation:
To start the tool, press the start lever. Blue LED lights will be
displayed while tightening a bolt. The tool will stop automatically
when it senses its target torque value or if no torque is sensed
in a specified time period. After a cycle is complete, the tool
will display green LED lights for a success, or red LED lights
for failure to reach torque/angle.
4. Free Run Timeout (Controller Program
Setting):
For tools with Catalog rated speeds below 60 RPM, it is
recommended that the Free Run Timeout in the Controller
DSP menu under Timeout Settings be changed to 30 seconds
from the default setting of 5 seconds.
