threshold.
Re-hit/Reject Parameters: Prevents the fastening of
an already tightened fastener. If enabled, tool will
stop and the rundown will be aborted, if the angle
of rotation between the Re-Hit Reference Torque
and the In-Cycle Torque is less than the Re-Hit Angle
Count.
NOTE: If the attempted rundown is a Re-Hit, it will not
be reported or recorded.
Re-Hit Reject: Prevents the fastening of an already
tight fastener. If enabled,the tool will stop and the
rundown will be aborted,if the angle of rotation
between the - - - - and In Cycle Torque is less than
the Re-Hit Angle Count.
Re-Hit Angle Count: The default Re-Hit Angle Count
is 100 degrees. If the angle changes less than 100
degrees in .04 seconds before the in-cycle pulse it is
determined to be a Re-Hit.
Joint Compensation Ratio: Adjusts the target torque
of the tool to compensate for joint characteristics.
This value has an inverse relationship with the target
torque (Output torque = Target Torque / Ratio).
Ratio values above 1.0 result in a lower output
torque where values below 1.0 result in higher
output torques.

4.2.6 Multistage Rundown Evaluation and
Reporting
• If a rundown cycle completes, or is terminated
early while in or after the nal stage of the PSet:
○The overall evaluation of the rundown will
be determined using the limits set in the nal
stage.
○The peak torque, pulse count, and angle,
achieved during the rundown are used for
the evaluation and reported.
○Note: The fastening torque must reach the In-
Cycle torque value set in the PSet in order for
the rundown to be evaluated and reported.
• If a rundown is terminated early before reaching
the nal audit stage:
○The overall result of the rundown will be
reported as a reject.
○The torque, pulse, and angle evaluation
will be determined using the limits set in the
stage that was running when the rundown
was terminated.
○The peak torque, pulse count, and angle
at the point in time when the rundown was
terminated, is used for the stage evaluation.
○The torque, pulse count, and angle status
reported will reect this stage evaluation with
the following exception:
▪If torque, pulse count, and angle are
all within limits of the stage that was
running, the torque, pulse, and angle
status will all be reported as low. This
is done to further indicate that the
rundown terminated before reaching
the nal audit stage.
○The peak torque, pulse count, and angle
achieved, during the rundown, will be
reported.
• Angle measurement details:
○Peak Angle used for overall evaluation and
reported is the peak angle achieved during
the rundown, measured from the angle
reference set in the nal stage. Note: If an
angle reference is not dened in the nal
audit stage, the angle is measured from
when the torque rst crosses the In-Cycle
torque set in the PSet.
○Angle used for stage evaluation is the
angle at the point in time when stage was
terminated or completed, measured from
the angle reference set in the stage.
• Note: If the evaluation of any stage during the
rundown fails, or a bail out limit is exceeded, the
fastening cycle will be terminated early and any
subsequent stages will not run.

○System port IP address
○Angle report
○Bolt count
○Job sequence
○Pulse count
NOTE: Job sequence shows which PSet you are
currently on in the job (this is not the pset number).
The rst pset in the job is always job sequence 1, and
the next is 2, etc.
Bolt count is shown as current bolt count out of total
number of bolts. Example: If you have 3 total bolts.
When you start the job you will see 0.3. After one
rundown you will see 1.3 and then 2.3 on the next
run and so on until the job is completed.

4.5 Controller
The controller menu is where all of the settings for the Gen
IV controller are congured. All of the different conguration
capabilities are explained below.
4.5.1 Tool Setup
In this screen user can
enable/disable various tool
functions.
4.5.1.1 Tool Parameters
For proper operation of the tool, this information must be entered each time
a new tool is connected to the controller.
Tool CAL: Value stamped on tool.
CAL Ratio: Calibration factor for matching the torque reading of the tool/
controller to a torque auditor.
Maximum Torque: Rated maximum torque of the tool. This is used when
determining the default PSets.
Rated Speed: Rated catalog speed of the tool. (Optional information only.
Does not affect the operation of the tool)
Model Number: (Optional information only. Does not affect the operation of
the tool)
Serial Number: (Optional information only. Does not affect the operation of
the tool)
Reverse Speed: The speed that the tool will run in reverse
Enable Buzzer: Enables or disables the buzzer

4.5.1.2 Disassembly
Report Disassembly: If enabled, disassembly events will be reported and logged.
Threshold Torque: Disassembly will be reported only if this torque value is
reached. This is entered as a positive value.
Torque Units: Units for the Disassembly Threshold Torque
Decrement Fastener Count: If Disassembly is detected the fastener count in
JOBS
• Never: Decrement count will be ignored
• Always: Decrement will always be active
• Only after NOK: Decrement count will only happen after a rundown
judged to me NOK (Reject) has occurred
Disable on Disassembly: If disassembly is detected the tool will be disabled
Judgment Delay (s): Amount of time (in seconds) after nal pulse in disassembly
that determines disassembly has been completed
When a disassembly event is reported:
The disassembly will be displayed on the run screens and logged in the
rundown record, containing the following:
• Overall evaluation will be marked as ‘Disassembled’ Peak torque during
the disassembly (torque shown as negative).
• Peak overall angle during the disassembly (angle shown as negative).
• Curve data from the disassembly
• Parameters from the current PSet selected
• Fastening events from the disassembly.
All of the controller’s status LEDs will be turned OFF. The LED display will show peak torque and angle as negative
I/O Considerations:
When disassembling, all assignable IO outputs that report rundown status will remain in the state from the last fastening
cycle. This includes:
• Ok and Nok signals
• Torque/Angle high or low signals
• Torque and Angle Values
All assignable I/O outputs reporting a fasting events will not change state during the disassembly. This includes:
• Fastening Complete
• In Cycle
• Fastening Stopped
• Fastening Aborted
NOTE: When the tool is placed into disassembly mode, all of the tool’s LEDs ash and the Horn beeps. This will continue
until the tool is placed back into fastening mode.
4.5.1.3 Lock Tool On Reject
When enabled, this prevents tool from starting a new rundown if
the result of the last rundown was a reject. Tool remains locked until
one of the four Unlock Mode conditions above are satised.
