Aimco Brakes Monitor ATM11 Tightening Monitor Operations Manual

Monitor Mode (Total):
In order to view the Total, the MODE button should be
pressed until the display reads X.TOT. Once again theX here is replaced with the
current parameter (A-D).
Once the MODE button is
released, the display will show
the number of batches com-
pleted.  The total will count up from 0 to 65,535.  After
reaching 65,535 the counter will roll over to 0.  If the
value of the total is greater than 9,999 the display will
scroll in order to show the entire value.

Programming:
Inorder to effectively monitor any given tool, the AIM
Tightening Monitor must first be programmed to recog-
nize the tool.  Tool signatures will vary from tool to tool
and also from process to process.  The first step in set-
ting up any tool should be to perform an AutoCal
TM.
Programming (AutoCal™):
The automatic calibration routine is a two step process.
The unit first tries to determine if the sensor being
employed has an offset while it is at rest.  In the second
stage of the...

Programming (AutoCal™) continued:
Once again, make sure the tool is properly connected to
the unit.  Run a fastener completely from start to finish
allowing the tool’s clutch to stop the tool.  After the
clutch stops the tool, release the trigger and then press
the SET button.
If the AUTOCAL was good, the display will read
ACAL, GOOD, PUSH, SET.  The key can be turned
back to the locked position in order to exit this routine.
Or, SET can be pressed in order to return to the pro-
gramming menu.
If the...

Programming (Batch):
In order to set the number of fasteners in a batch, turnthe key to the PROG position.
Press the MODE button until
the display reads X.BAT
(where X represents the cur-
rent parameter A-D).
Once at this display, the SET key can be pressed in
order to view or program the batch setting.  After the
SET key has been pressed, the display will show the current amount programmed
into the batch.  Also, the digit
in the 100’s column will be
flashing.  The UP and DOWN
keys can be used in order...

Programming (Clearing The Total):The total number of completed
batches is one of the values
that can be viewed in the mon-
itor mode.  In order to clear
this value for any given
parameter, turn the key to the PROG position and then
press the MODE button until the display reads TOT.
If the SET key is pressed while the display is reading
TOT, the display will change.  A scrolling message
which reads “SET CLEARS TOTAL” will appear on the
display.  If the SET button is pressed at this point, the
total...

Programming (Analog Values):The next item that is available
on the program menu is
labeled ANLG.  This mode
allows the user to see the
value that is present on both of
the analog channels that the AIM Tightening Monitor
possesses.  This mode is an excellent trouble shooting
tool. To enter this mode, turn the key to the PROG posi-
tion and press MODE until the display read ANLG.  
Once the display reads ANLG, the SET key may be
pressed in order to view both of the analog channels. The left two digits...

Programming (Relays):Within the AIM Tightening
Monitor there are three relays
that signal batch accept, cycle
accept and reject.  These
relays can be set to be latching
or momentary.
If the relays are set to momentary, each time they are
activated, the relay will close for 200 milliseconds and
then open back up.  If the relays are set to latching, they
will close and remain closed until the beginning of the
next cycle. In order to set this value, turn
the key to the PROG position
and press the MODE...

Programming (Double Beep):
In monitor mode, when a batch is completed, the unit
has the ability to let out a double beep to signify that
this event has occurred.
However, the double beep feature is programmable andmay either be turned on or off
in the program mode.  To
access this setting, turn the key
to the PROG position and
press the MODE button until
the display reads BEEP.
While the display reads BEEP, press the SET key.  After the SET key is pressed the
display will either read “DBL
BEEP...

Programming (Timers):
There are three timers that govern the way a AIM
Tightening Monitor monitors a fastening process.  These
timers are timer min (TMIN), timer max (TMAX), and
timer clutch (TCLU).
TMIN is the minimum run timer.  This timer sets the
minimum amount of time the tool has to run prior to the
clutch shutting the tool off.  This value can be set
between 00.00 seconds and 64.99 seconds.  In order to
function properly, this value should be less than TMAX.
During the AutoCal
TMprocess, TMIN...

Programming (Timers continued):
All three of these timers can be adjusted through the
program menu.  However, there is a software application
available that makes this process much easier and much
more visual.
In order to adjust one of these timers, turn the key to thePROG position and press the
MODE button until the desired
abbreviation is in view
(TMIN, TMAX, or TCLU). 
Once the abbreviation for the timer that needs editing is
in view,  press SET.  The actual value for the timer will be visible on the...
