Edit Group:
There  are  eight  different  groups  or  parameter  sets 
available in the AQ Wireless. Each group can represent 
one tool and it’s associated settings.
So,  this  unit  can  be  used  with  multiple  tools.  Each  new 
tool  would  have  to  be  learned  into  a  given  group 
(parameter).
The unit can also be used with a single tool but different 
setups.
In  order  to  edit  a  group,  press  the  EDIT  GROUP  soft-
key on the menu screen.
At  this  point,  the  user  will  be  asked  to  select  the  group 
they wish to edit.
Groups  A  through  H  are  represented  by  soft-keys  0 
through .  Pressing  a  number  key  will  send  the  unit  to 
an edit screen for that group.
Battery tools have multiple timers, a batch value and a tool name which \
can be edited.
In  order  to  edit  a  value,  press  the  number  associated  with  that  value.  In  most  cases 
the  unit  will  go  to  a  screen  that  allows  the  user  to  type  in  a  new  value  for  the  item 
being  edited.  In  some  cases  where  only  a  few  options  are  available,  pressing  the 
number associated with the item to edit will toggle that item to a new v\
alue.
When  the  group  is  entirely  edited,  pressing  the  ENTER  key  will  store  that  group  to 
non-volatile  memory  so  that  the  values  can  be  remembered  the  next  time  the  unit  is 
powered  down  and  then  back  up  again.  The  ESCAPE  key  can  also  be  pressed  to 
leave the edit screen without saving any new values.
EDIT SCREEN DEFINITIONS :
TBC  -  Time  Between  Cycles. After  a  good  cycle,  this  timer  will  start.  The  unit  will  not 
allow another good fastening until after this timer expires.
TBB  - Time  Between  Batches. After  a  batch  is  complete,  this  timer  will  start. The  unit 
will not allow another good fastening until after this timer expires.
Batch - Number of fasteners to be tightened in this assembly.
Name - Name associated with this tool.

Select Group (through the user interface):
Only  one  group  will  ever  be  in  operation  at  a  time  with 
this  unit.  There  are  two  ways  to  select  which  group  is 
being  used.  One  way  to  select  the  active  group  is 
through  the  user  interface  (LCD  and  keypad).  The 
second way to select the group is through the I/O.
There  is  a  setting  under  I/O  options  that  chooses  the 
mechanism  for  selecting  the  group  (either  through  the 
user interface or through the I/O).
If  the  unit  is  set  up  to  select  groups  through  the  user  interface,  the  user  can  select 
a  new  group  by  pressing  SELECT  GROUP  from  the  menu  and  then  pressing  the 
number on the keypad associated with the desired group.
If  the  unit  is  set  up  to  select  groups  through  the  I/O  and  the  user  attempts  to  change 
the  group  through  the  user  interface,  the  user  will  be  warned  that  they  are  changing 
this  setting.  If  they  choose  to  proceed  the  new  group  will  be  selected  and  the  I/O 
option  for  selecting  the  group  through  the  I/O  will  also  be  written  over  so  that  groups 
are selected through the user interface. 
Pressing  the  ESCAPE  key  or  the  ENTER  key  will  allow  the  user  to  leave  the  select 
group screen without changing the current group setting.

Globalize Group:
A  copy  and  paste  function  exists  for  copying  one  group 
into  all  of  the  other  groups. This  feature  is  the  globalize 
feature.
The  globalize  feature  can  be  handy  when  setting  up 
one  tool  to  do  multiple  operations.  A  user  can  learn  a 
tool  into  a  group,  modify  that  group,  and  then  copy  that 
information into all of the other groups.
The  globalize  function  might  be  used  when  setting  up 
groups  that  all  use  the  same  tool  and  a  similar  set-up 
but  perhaps  the  batch  count  varies  to  accommodate 
different models.
In  order  to  use  the  globalize  function,  select  globalize  from  the  menu  and  then  select 
the group that will be copied into all of the other groups by pressing the number on the 
keypad associated with the desired group.
Either ENTER or ESCAPE can be used to exit the globalize screen without performing 
the copy function.

Edit Time/Date:
A real time clock is included in the AQ Wireless unit. As 
events  occur  and  are  placed  into  memory  for  other 
functions, a time/date stamp is included with the event.
The  real  time  clock  can  be  viewed  and  edited  through 
the  program  menu.  In  order  to  view/edit  the  time  and 
date, select EDIT TIME/DATE from the menu.
A  screen  will  appear  that  shows  the  current  time  and 
date. If these values need to be edited, the EDIT button 
can be pressed. The ESCAPE key can also be pressed 
to exit this routine.
If  the  EDIT  key  was  pressed,  a  screen  will  appear  that  shows  the  time  and  date  but 
also  has  assigned  several  editing  features  to  the  soft  keys  to  the  left  and  right  of  the 
display. The soft keys on the left side of the display will all add one to the hour, minute, 
month,  day  or  year  depending  on  the  key  that  is  selected.  On  the  right  side  of  the 
display, the keys will all subtract one from those same values. 
Once the time and date are set, the SAVE key can be pressed to set the time and date 
to the edited value.
The ESCAPE key can be pressed to exit the routing without saving a new v\
alue.

Resetting the Batch/Total:
If  a  time  ever  arises  that  the  batch  and  or  total  need  to 
be  reset,  this  can  be  accomplished  through  the  user’s 
interface.
(The batch can also be reset through the I/O).
In  order  to  reset  one  of  these  values,  select  RESET 
TOTAL OR BATCH from the menu.
A  screen  will  appear  with  four  buttons  along  the  bottom 
of the screen and the user is prompted to “Select Value 
To Reset”.
If RESET BATCH is pressed, the batch count is returned to zero and the cycle, batch 
and/or reject outputs are returned to their default state.
If RESET TOTAL is selected, the total value associated with this group is reset to zer\
o.
If  RESET  BOTH  is  pressed,  both  the  batch  and  total  values  are  set  to  zero  and  the 
cycle, batch and reject outputs are returned to their default state.
The  ESCAPE  key  allows  the  user  to  return  to  the  menu  without  resetting  either  the 
batch or total values.

Creating a New Password:
The  AQ  Wireless  has  a  default  password  of  0  1  0  4. 
This password can be altered to any four digit number.
To  alter  the  password,  select  CHANGE  PASSWORD 
from the menu.
The  keypad  screen  will  appear  and  in  the  center  of  the 
screen, the prompt will read “ENTER NEWPASSWORD”. 
At  this  point  the  user  can  use  the  keypad  to  enter  a  four 
digit  number  that  will  be  stored  and  used  as  the  new 
password.
Once  the  new  password  is  entered,  the  ENTER  key  may  be  pressed  in  order  to  save 
this value to non-volatile memory.
The  ESCAPE  key  may  be  pressed  at  any  time  to  exit  this  routine  without  saving  any 
changes to the password.
AutoCal:
The  AutoCal  function  can  be  used  on  battery  tools  to 
write  a  default  group  (parameter)  for  the  associated 
tool.
Pressing  the  Enter  key  sets  the  group  as  the  default 
group.
Pressing  the  Escape  key  will  allow  the  user  to  exit  this 
function without performing an AutoCal.

I/O Options:
Several  options  exist  in  order  to  govern  the  behavior  of 
the  input  and  output  devices.  In  order  to  access  these 
options,  select  I/O  Options  from  the  second  menu 
screen.
A  screen  will  appear  showing  different  I/O  options  and 
also the current settings. 
From this screen the user can select how the relays and 
beeper will function.
Also,  the  user  can  select  which  mechanism  will  control 
group (parameter) selection.
Relays  The  relays  inside  this  unit  can  be  set  to  be  either  momentary  or  latching.  If 
set to momentary by pressing the 0 key, the relays will be on for  00ms every time an 
event  occurs  (i.e.  cycle,  batch  or  reject).  If  set  to  latching  by  pressing  the    key,  the 
relays will remain on until the next event or until a batch reset is iss\
ued.
Beeper The  beeper  can  be  turned  off,  beep  on  rejects  only,  or  beep  on  all  events  by 
pressing the , 3, 4 and  key respectively.
Group  Selection  Groups  (parameters)  can  be  selected  through  the  LCD  interface  by 
pressing 6 or through the I/O by pressing the  key.
The  current  settings  for  the  relays,  beeper  and  group  selections  are  displayed  at  the 
bottom of the screen. Pressing the ENTER key will save theses setting to non-volatile 
memory.
The ESCAPE key can be pressed to exit this routine without saving new se\
ttings.

Sequencing:
The AQ  Wireless  can  be  set  up  so  that  it  automatically 
changes from group to group as batches are completed. 
This function is called sequencing.
In  order  to  edit  the  sequencing  function,  press  the  Edit 
Sequence  soft-key  on  the  second  menu  screen.  The 
keypad screen will appear showing the user the current 
sequence setting and allow them to alter that setting.
If sequencing is off, the AQ wireless will operate from one group (parameter) until the 
user changes the group either from the user interface or through the I/O\
.
If  sequencing  is  on,  the  unit  will  start  in  group A  until  a  batch  is  completed.  Once  the 
batch completes, the unit will automatically change to the next parameter until the end 
parameter is reached. Once the end parameter is reached and the batch is completed, 
the unit will automatically return to group A.
The  sequence  setting  can  be  altered  by  pressing  the  number  that  represents  the 
sequence  that  the  user  desires.  Pressing  a  number  key  will  automatically  select  and 
save the new sequence setting to non-volatile memory.
The  Escape  key  can  be  pressed  at  any  point  to  exit  this  routine  without  selecting  or 
saving a new sequence setting.

Suspend:
A time may arise when the tool needs to be operated in 
a  repair,  rework,  or  maintenance  situation  and  it  would 
best  if  the  unit  was  not  reporting  rejects,  cycles  and 
batches.  If  this  situation  arises,  the  suspend  feature 
may be used.
While  the  unit  is  suspended,  it  will  ignore  cycles, 
batches and rejects.
To  enter  into  the  suspend  mode,  select  Suspend  Unit 
from the second program menu.
A  screen  appears  at  this  point  prompting  the  user  to 
press the Enter button to suspend the unit and to press 
the Escape button to exit.
If  the  Enter  key  is  pressed,  another  screen  will  appear 
letting the user know that the unit is suspended.
While  the  unit  is  suspended,  it  will  wait  for  an  additional  key  press.  Once  this  key 
press occurs, the unit will exit suspend mode.
