• Never set control limits above the maximum rating of the tool.
• Setting control limits above the maximum rating of the tool can cause high reaction torque.
• Always test for proper tool operation after programming the controller.
The controller uses three main menus to display information and enable programming:
– SETUP menu
– SERVICE menu
– ANALYZE menu
Fields with bold font are editable. Fields with gray font are not editable.

functions.
4. Restore Factory Defaults – use to backup/restore/delete programming and return controller to factory defaults.

This area changes the settings of the Job,s Tasks, Steps, tool strategies, error-proofing, and bolt counting. Users
must have SETUP or ADMINISTRATOR access level to modify values in this area.

controllers operate with a single Job and Task with one or two Steps. Users must have ADMINISTRATOR or SETUP
access in order to modify Job settings. This includes Wizard, Manage and Step parameters.

Wizard sets up a Job or Task for simple or complex fastening cycles using the optional strategy controls called
Smart Steps.
