Tool Operation
3.6.4 Setting Operating Parameters
WARNING
EXCESSIVE TORQUE CONDITION
To Avoid Injury:
• Only trained and qualified personnel should program controllers.
• Never set control limits above the maximum rating of the tool.
• Setting control limits above the maximum rating of the tool can cause high reaction torque.
• Always test for proper tool operation after programming via the controller.
CAUTION
• Ensure fastener and/or system will withstand the level of torque generated by the tool. Excessive torque may
cause breakage and possible personal injury.
The QPM Alpha Expert controller is used to setup the tool’s fastening strategies inside Jobs and Tasks. Read the
QPM Alpha Expert manual to learn how to program strategies. Even though the QPM Expert Alpha controller is
used to program the QPM cordless tool the parameters are stored in the tool and not the controller.
The tool can be preprogrammed in a lab or tool crib prior to placing on line in a facility.
3.6.5 Assembly (Forward) Operation
Prepare to resist the tool’s torque reaction.
Keep the tool axis in line with the axis of the fastener, i.e. make sure the tool is perpendicular to the fastener
(workpiece). Start the tool by depressing the start trigger switch. The tool stops after reaching torque.
Release start trigger switch after the cycle is complete.
For Push-to-Start tools press the tool into the workpiece to apply pressure to the output of the tool to start the
tool. The tool stops after reaching torque. Release the pressure after the cycle is complete.
3.6.6 Disassembly (Reverse) Operation
Prepare to resist the tool’s torque reaction which will be the opposite of the assembly reaction.
Start the tool by depressing the start lever or push-to-start switch. The tool is not running inside of a strategy so
it will not stop on its own.
Release start lever or push-to-start switch after sufficient time or rotation to stop the tool.
3.6.7
Sleep Mode
The QPM cordless tool has a sleep timer that allows it to conserve battery power when not in use. The sleep timer
can be enabled or disabled. If disabled the QPM cordless tool will never go to sleep. This is not recommended. If
the sleep timer is enabled a time value in minutes must be entered. The minimum value is 1 minute; the maximum
value is 60 minutes.
