OPERATIONS
1. Connect 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 above 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 FWD mode and will indicate this with no
LED lights turned on.
3. Start Lever Operation:
To start the tool, depress 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.
A complete tool system consists of the following items:
