 Statistics  
 
Minimum Stats  - Number of rundowns that need to be preformed before the statistics 
will be calculated and displayed on the controller . 
  Stat Samples -  Maximum number of rundowns used for calculating and displaying 
statistical data on the iEC controller.  
 
Statistical Outliers  - The statistical outliers’  parameter is a code that is used to 
determine if the data from a rundown will be excluded from the data set being used in 
the static calculations that are displayed on...

even when the desired RPM is extremely slow.   
 
IEC controllers are able to run this feature assuming the servo in the controller is REVB or 
higher and SCC code is 1.16 or higher.  SCC installed code and Servo REV level is 
indicated each time the controller is powered on.  This information is visible on the LED 
display.   
 
Controllers capable of Low Speed Control mode default to standard control unless selection 
of Low Speed Control is consciously made.  Confirmation of Low Speed Control...

 o If a rundown is rejected, the beeping can be stopped by making a successful 
rundown or using the MFB option "Stop Reject Tone".  
 
Headlight ON -   Enables or Disables the Headlight.  
 
 
 
    
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...

Tool Parameters  
Reads all the tool parameters and displays  on the screen 
 
T orque Cal Value   
Shows the current calibration value of the tool as well as the factory calibration  
 
RPM’s  
      Performing this test will determine the actual RPM of the tool.  
 
Cycle Count  
Displays the total number of rundowns on the tool good or bad

Multiplier  - Configures the tool to include gearing added to the base model.  
Units: Gear Ratio * 100.  
a.  Example: Adding a multiplier with a gear ratio  of 5:1, Multiplier setting = 5. 
 
 
Obstruction  Torque - In 1st 90° degrees of rotation in the tightening  direction cycle will be 
aborted if this torque is exceeded. If the tool rotates 90° degrees and stops without any 
obstruction, the value is too low.  
  

 36 
Open Loop - After reaching the open position, this open loop torque prevents the socket 
from bouncing to a partially closed position. This torque should be set to a value slightly less 
than the tube nut home torque.  
 
Home  - In the reverse direction, reaching this torque indicates to the controller the socket is 
in the open position. If the socket does not attempt to return to the open position or returns 
at an extremely fast rate this value is too low. AcraDyne recommends starting at about...

Buttons and LED’s 
 
Calibrate Buttons  - After a tool has been worked on, it is possible the relationship between 
hall sensors and magnet have changed.  Using the Tool Button Calibration screen calibrates 
the field between the two.  Test Trigger, Ccw,  Center and Cw positions and send the values 
t o the Tool.  
  
LED States -  Turns the tool lights on, off, or flashes.  Used for testing of the Tool

2.8 Rundowns  
Data for rundowns in all or selected Parameter Sets  can be displayed in a tabular format. 
This  information can then  be saved as a “Ms.csv”  File. 
 
 You can  print the rundown  results by using File - >Print in the menu.  
 
 Rundowns must be saved to a file before the statistics function can be used to 
evaluate the data.  
 
 Controller memory can be cleared by clicking the “Clear  iEC Rundown Memory” 
button
