In the event of a fault, high leakage currents may occur and
cause injuries by electric shock.
Use an approved power cable, with suitable ratings.
For 115 VAC cables with a larger cross-section, use
Order No. 541683-01.
Prior To Initial Operation
Only operate on a grounded power supply with a neu-
tral conductor (TN system). Operation without a neu-
tral conductoron (IT system) is not permitted.
Ensure a standard-compliant PE connection is in
place.
Prior to initial operation, carry out the protective con-
ductor measurement in accordance with the local reg-
ulations (in Germany, DGUV Regulation 3).
Do not switch on the controller until all connections
have been made correctly.
Danger Due To Dangerous Movements
Insufficient emergency stop facilities can have life-threat-
ening consequences.
The necessity of an emergency stop and its execution
is the responsibility of the user and his risk analysis!
Provide accessible and effective emergency stop facil-
ities. Unlocking the emergency stop device must not
cause an uncontrolled restart of the system!
Before switching on the system, check the emergency
stop devices for function.
Operation
Protect the controller from moisture.
Immediately power off the controller in the event of
unusual noise, heating or vibration from the tool.
Disconnect the power cord and have the tightening
system checked by qualified personnel and repaired if
necessary.
Never pull the power cord to remove from an outlet.
Protect all cables from heat, oil, sharp edges and mov-
ing parts.
Replace damaged cables immediately.
Ensure tool and plug connections between the
controller and tool are clean.
Ensure the workstation and surrounding area are
clean.
Ensure the workstation provides adequate space for
the operation being completed.
When working with a nutrunner, remain alert at all
times. Do not use a nutrunner if you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of carelessness when working with a nutrun-
ner
may contribute to a life threatening situation.
Danger Due To Incorrect Torque Measurement
An undetected NOK tightening may contribute to a life-
threatening situation.
Recalibration (or capability analysis) is essential fol-
lowing incorrect use (crash, mechanical overload…).
For Category A Tightenings (VDI 2862) which are criti-
cal for safety, activate a redundancy measurement
(e.g., current redundancy).
Introduce regular monitoring of measuring equipment
for associated manufacturing equipment.
Only conduct tightening operations with a properly
functioning system. If in doubt, contact
Sales & Service

Danger Due To Unexpected Start Of The Motor Or An
Expected But Missing Stop
Despite redundant controller parts and monitoring func-
tions, an unexpected start of the machine can occur in very
rare cases. Possible reasons may include, but are not lim-
ited to: Remote control of diagnostic functions, bit dump in
the memory of the controller.
Mechanical hazards such as jars/jolts due to counter
torques; risk of injury due to winding up and seizing can
result from the tool.
Use the tool at the designated grip points.
Use the recommended reaction devices. For torques,
reference appropriate tool instruction manual.
After powering the controller on, wait until the boot
cycle is completed, approximately 60 seconds, before
powering it down again.
Use of Secondary controllers
Up to 15 Secondary Controllers can be added to a Primary
Controller. Upon shutting off or in case of a Secondary
Controller failure, the TSNet bus communication is inter-
rupted. The communication loss to the Primary Controller
has consequences for a Secondary Controller:
→
No results are returned to the Primary Controller.
→
Additional rundowns are not initiated.
→
An in-process rundown is reported with the error
message SA (abort by removing the start signal) if
the TSNet connection is interrupted during tighten-
ing.
→
A shut-off signal is no longer received and so a
shut-off is only possible
-
via the start button of the tool
-
after reaching the shut-off criterion
-
via a safety shut-off after two seconds
WARNING!
During remote-start operation (multiple tool setup) an inter-
ruption of TSNet bus leads to a delayed stop of the spindle/
tool. This delay is 2 seconds.
Maintenance
The controller is generally maintenance-free.
Consider local regulations for maintenance and servic-
ing for all operating phases of the tightening system.
Cleaning
Only clean the exterior of the tool using a dry or slightly
damp cloth.
Do not immerse the controller or tools in any liquids.
