Ramp (ms)
 - the 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 arm ed, 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 th rottle.  The default setting for this is 100 
RPM. 
 
Reverse Dwell  - The amount of time bef ore the output tries to return to home, after 
the throttle is released (default 500 ms).

ng MFB button arms (activates) the start 
function but does not start the  tool.  Blue status light illuminates to indicate tool 
is Armed.  Arming will reset in 3 sec onds if tool start is not initiated. 
•  Change PSET:  Holding MFB button  toggles between PSET A and PSET B.  
Status lights flash indicating PSET A is se lected or twice if PSET B is selected 
•  Reset Reject Tone:  Holding MFB button silences reject tone

The following are the codes for each exclusion type: 
2 - Final Torque Result Above High Limit 
4 - Final Torque Result Below Low Limit 
8 - Final Angle Result Above High Limit 
16 - Final Angle Result Below High Limit 
128 - Re-Hit 
 
To exclude any combination of the above list add up the code values.  
Example: To exclude all rundowns  where the final torque was above the high limit (2) or 
the angle was below the low limit (16), Set  the value for statistical outliers to 2 
+16 = 18

become effective.  Prompts will
 indicate to the user this requirement and the LED on the IEC 
controller will change to OFF indicati ng that a Power Cycle is required. 
 
While Low Speed Control has many benefits  and is not inherently negative to tool 
performance when left in use, it does apply slightly  higher power levels to the tool motor and 
in high duty cycle applications where it is not  necessary, this feature should be turned off.

2.6.3   Angle Offset Calibration 
Angle Calibration Value: 
  The value for this will determine how  much to add or subtract to the angle 
measured and reported by the iEC controller. 
   The offset is added at the start of threshold. 
   The default value for this is 100. The range is 1 to 200. 
   The units are (value - 100) = degrees of correction. 
   Examples:  
  A value of 100 = No correction.   This is the default value.  
   A value of 90 = 10 degrees adde d to iEC angle measurement....

Tool Setup 
 
Each  tool  has  a  special  parameter  file  that  def ines  the  tool.  You  can  view  the  parameter  file 
for  that  tool  and  how  it  differs  from  what  is  in  the  tool.    The  to ol  Information  such  as  Tool  Id, 
Tool  Model  number,  Tool  cycle  count  and  Tool  Multiplier  value  are  displayed.  The  User  can 
change the Tube nut Parameters according to thei r application need and send it to the tool.
