Code A03-05 - PREAMPLIFIER / WATCHDOG TIMER ERROR
Communications error between the tool preamplifier (torque transducer) and the controller.
CAUSE:
1. The tool cable is not connected or has lost connection during communication.
2. When the torque transducer, transducer cable or the controller malfunctions.
RECOVERY:
1. Verify that the tool cable is securely connected at both ends and free from cuts, abrasive wear or
kinks
2. Turn control power off to the unit for at least 5 minutes then re-start.
3. Exchange tool cable, tool and/or controller with known working units. Reinitialize the system after
each exchange to determine which component may have caused the failure (abnormal).
Replace the defective component
