The Tool memory data is displayed for the selected tool and redundancy. Only the Field Torque
Calibration (±20% of nominal) and the static current factor are editable, in order to correct the
torque calibration of the selected tool. If no Tool memory is available, then all data is programma-
ble.
In case a tool with memory is changed to another tool with memory of the same type the tool will
continue to work without any necessary changes. In case the tool is changed to a tool without
memory or to a different type, then after power on or when pressing the start switch a message is
displayed which prompts the user to verify the Tool Setup.
If tool memory is not available, <F1> and <F2> will change to Standard Tools and Fixtured Tools,
respectively.
Pressing the Standard Tools <F1> key will allow the user to select from a library of predefined
hand tools. This library can be used to program the tool parameters when tool memory is not
available or to change the existing tool memory values.
Pressing the Fixtured Tools <F2> key will allow the user to select from a library of predefined fix-
tured tools. This library can be used to program the tool parameters when tool memory is not
available or to change the existing tool memory values.
The Safety Shutoff mechanism uses current monitoring to turn off the tool in the event of a trans-
ducer failure during a rundown, thereby preventing unexpected high torque. If an application
experiences undesired shutoffs due to current spikes, this feature can be disabled at the discre-
tion of the user. When disabled, the tool will still be shut off if the measured current exceeds what
is allowable for that tool.
Note:
Calibration with an external (master) transducer and torque monitor traceable to a third
party standard is only required for the following circumstances:
Before putting a new tool in service, after the tool has been repaired; continuous reading
errors; periodic basis of 6 months or 100,000 cycles (whichever occurs first), or as man-
dated by Quality Assurance.
Each transducer's calibration values should be documented for future reference.
