2.1 Functionality
2.1.1 System functionality
The Power Focus sends the Parameter set (Pset) and the batch size to the tool where it is stored and
executed, and the tightening result is sent back to the Power Focus. See schematic figure below.
The STB tool family has the same basic functionality as other ST tools, but due to the nature of the
wireless communication where the tightening data is stored in the tool, all features in the Power Focus SW
may not be available in STB. For a complete list, see Tensor STB release notes.
Remote start is not available, for safety reasons.

Batch, green LED: Indicates Batch done
Battery, yellow LED: Indicates battery status (flashing light for low, and
fixed light for empty battery)
Alarm, red LED: A tool event is detected, for example Tool overheated
The function button, situated on the direction ring, can be configured as an input like the digital inputs on
Power Focus. It can generate different inputs depending on the position of the direction ring, clockwise
(CW) or counter clockwise (CCW).
External accessories can be mounted directly on the tool. Connected to the bus connector, the accessories
communicate with the Power Focus using the same data link as the tool. The tool accessory bus is
configurable to work in different modes depending on the connected device.
2.2 Technical data
For complete technical data, see Product Instructions for each tool.
2.2.1 Memory capacity
The results for up to 25 tightenings including traces can be stored together with 8 Jobs (or 8 Psets) in the
STB.
2.2.2 Battery
Tensor STB is equipped with a Lithium-Ion battery.
Figure 4 Number of tightenings
The capacity is dependent on the battery type and joint, softer joints gives less tightenings. See Figure 4
Number of tightenings illustrates the number of tightening between re-charge for different tools and
different types of joints (rundown angle in degrees) at the maximum torque for the tool. The same values
apply to the STB33 and STB63 tool models.

2.2.3 IRC
The Industrial Radio Communication (IRC) technology
operates on the free 2.4 GHz ISM band and also the
5.0GHz band (Uniband I and II).
The Tensor STB tool is available in two different versions
for the different IRC standards:
IRC-B
IRC-W
The table below gives an overview of the different standards.

The performance of IRC-W is highly dependent on the infrastructure at the site.
Latency defines the delay times of the communication link i.e. when transferring tightening results. The
multipath immunity indicates how well the reflections in the environment are handled, for example against
walls or equipment. The interference immunity indicates how well other radio sources are avoided.
IRC-B
79 (1 MHz) channels.
IRC-B features dynamic Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH).
No frequency planning needed.

3 System setup
This section describes how to connect the Power Focus and STB.
The STB tool is compatible with standard Power Focus 4000 and 3100 as well as the IRC
Focus for both Graph and Compact controllers and all available RBU-types (except for DS).
3.1 Hardware setup
Setup the Power Focus system according to the local network recommendation.
If using a Serial Port Adapter, the connection with ToolsTalk Power Focus must go through Ethernet as
the serial port 2 is required for the adapter. In case there is no network available, the connection between
Power Focus and the PC running ToolsTalk Power Focus is made with a cross-over Ethernet cable
according to the instructions in section 6.2 ToolsTalk Service with Serial port adapter.
In case an IRC Focus is used, it is possible to connect to the Power Focus with a serial connection.
In both cases, it is also possible to access the Power Focus 4000 with a USB connection.
3.2 IRC hardware setup
Tools using IRC-W infrastructure proceed to section 3.5.2 Getting started with IRC-W –Infrastructure.
Tools using IRC-B or IRC-W with an IRC Focus proceed directly to section 3.2.2 Antenna placement. For
tool running IRC-W ad-hoc or IRC-B using a Serial Port Adapter process as described below.
3.2.1 Serial Port Adapter
When using a Serial Port Adapter, connect it according to the following instructions.
1. Turn off the Power Focus.
2. Connect an Atlas Copco crossover cable between
the Serial Port Adapter and the Power Focus serial
port 2, called RS232 (2). Recommended maximum
cable length: 2 metres.
3. Connect the power cable between the Serial Port
Adapter and the mains circuit in the premises.
4. Turn on the Power Focus.

System setup
9836 3043 01 11 (36)
3.2.2 Antenna placement
The antenna must be located with free line of sight to
the tool, for example above pallets and other
equipment.
The antenna on the serial port adapter can be
adjusted to optimize performance.
In IRC Focus, the antenna is built-in behind the front
panel.
Since the IRC Focus has a smaller antenna, it is
especially important to ensure proximity and
obstruction-free placement.
Place the controller in free line of sight to the tool.
