Off Delay  - specifies how long the output signal will be ON before turning OFF. Each of the 
8 input fields  corresponds to the output field. Example: If 200 is the value  in the first field 
that the output signal for Accept will be ON for duration of 200 mSec. If the value is 0, then 
the corresponding output will remain ON indefinitely or until the next rundown starts.  
 
Control Source  – allows user to choose the source that controls the tool operation...

USB  - is used if the computer is connected with the controller using the USB connection in 
the computer.  
 
Ethernet  - can be selected to set the IP address the connection should use.  
 
Offline mode  - gives the user the opportunity to  -edit parameter files  and configuration  files 
to save   without being connected to the controller

Adaptive Control 
 
Enable - Adaptive  control is a  useful option when a high CPK  (Process Capability) is 
chosen as the most important variable.  This is done by adjusting the control to 
ensure the...

 23 
Off - Turns adaptive control off.  The tool will produce torque until the target  torque is 
achieved.  Therefore, all results will be equal to or greater than the target. This will 
cause the average torque to be greater than the target torque, thus making it 
extremely difficult to produce a high CPK.  
First Ten -  Takes an average of the  first ten readings in a new parameter set and 
adjusts the control to make the average torque correspond with the target torque.  
Therefore, there will be...

Rundown-Backoff-Rundown 
This feature includes three modes that  engag e reverse rotation of the tool.  
 
Enable  –  activates the feature.  There are four  options  available when the feature is 
enabled.  
 
 Rundown Backoff SP  -  Tool will rundown to selected  PSet torque, reverse 
the fastener a set number of degrees  defined by Back Off Degrees.  Reports 
the Torque and Angle from the rundown.  
 
  Rundown- Backoff-Rundown –  Rundown to the 1
st Rundown torque 
(specified below)  then...

 25 
Ramp (ms) - t he amount of time from the end of the  soft start period  until the tool 
reaches  the  Freespeed RPM  (default 600 ms)  
 
Start Delay 
 
Start Delay On/Off  - When enabled, the tool will ignore programmed torque 
parameters until the timer runs out.  This is often used in jobs with prevailing torque 
that exceeds target torque.  The default setting is disabled  
 
Start Delay (ms) -  The amount of time at the beginning of the fastening cycle, 
measured in milliseconds, which the tool...

Gen3 / 4 Tool Button Configuration 
 
Multi -Function Button  (MFB) 
•  Tap action:  triggered if button held less than hold time.  
•  Hold action:  triggered if button held to hold time or longer.  
•  Hold Time:  Amount of time required to hold the MFB until Hold Action is 
triggered.  
•  Arming Timeout: Amount of time after the tool is armed, that the tool will 
automatically disarm.  
 
Tap MFB Function Options  
Actions will commence upon release of the MFB button on the tool as 
programmed...

Gen1 Tube Nut 
  
Homing Type  -  There are three options  
  No Home  
  Home on release and repress of main trigger  
  Auto Home on release of Main trigger  
  
Tube Nut Back off RPM  - The speed, expressed in RPM, which a tube nut tool will 
return to the open position upon release of throttle.  The default setting for this is 100 
RPM.  
 
Reverse Dwell  - The amount of time before the output tries to return to home, aft er 
the throttle is released (default  500 ms ). 
 
Home Dwell  - The...

 28 
• Tap Disabled:  Tapping MFB button has no effect on tool  
 
Hold MFB Function Opti ons  
Actions will commence after Hold timer preset time has elapsed (Adjustable in 
Hold Time window)  Default value is 1 second.  
  • Home Retry:  Holding the MFB button puts the tool into homing mode.  All 
LEDs will flash and t he horn will beep to signal the tool is in homing mode.  
Pressing the throttle(s) will start the homing move. After the homing is 
complete and the throttle(s) released, the tool will...
