OPERATION
Normal operation of the FAS3000 is depicted below. On power-up, the unit will display a series of identifiers, code
revisions, etc. and then remain on the "count» window. The count window displays the current parameter set and the
current number of fasteners completed toward a GROUP. Other statistics are also available to the operator without a key
or password by pressing the arrow keys on the keypad. These options are described below.
Power-up sequence
Parameter set Count The count is the number of completed
fasteners in the batch. When the count equals
the batch, the count will go back to zero and a
GROUP ACCEPT output will be generated.
Product identification
Firmware revision numbers
Pressing the left or right arrows will
advance the display to the next or
previous screen respectively.
If this button is pressed, the
operator will be prompted for a
four-digit password before entering
the program menu.
During screen changes, a description of the
next value to be displayed will be shown
momentarily.
This number denotes the number of fasteners
to be completed to get a GROUP ACCEPT.
The max group is 255.
The TOTAL represents the number of
completed groups. If the total exceeds 9999,
the total will begin to scroll to show all five
digits. The max total is 65,535. After 65,535 is
reached, the total will reset to zero.

SECURITY
The advanced settings and the GROUP RESET features of the FAS3000 are governed by a key-switch on the front of
the unit. Alternatively, a password may be used to enter the program menu or perform a GROUP RESET.
A four digit password may also be used to enter
the program menu or perform a GROUP
RESET.
The key-switch is used to unlock the advanced
features of the FAS3000.
When the key is in the locked position, the padlock-
shaped symbol will be illuminated, the program
menu will not be accessible, and the GROUP
RESET will not be available.
When the key is in the unlocked position, the
padlock-shaped symbol will not be illuminated and
all the afore mentioned features will be available.
This button can be used to enter the program
menu when unlocked, or to display the

GROUPS
The group setting is the number of fasteners that need to be completed before the FAS3000 issues a GROUP-ACCEPT
output. If the sequencing feature is turned on, the group setting represents the number of fasteners that must be
completed before switching to the next parameter set in the sequence. A GROUP ACCEPT will be issued after the final
parameter set in the sequence is completed.
This number represents the number of fasteners in a GROUP.
One of the digits will be flashing. Use the up and down arrow
keys to increment or deincrement the flashing digit. Use the left

RESET OPERATION
In the event of a NOK, an error code will be displayed and the beeper will sound. The FAS3000 will need to be reset in
order to continue operating. The RESET button will clear the error status and allow the operator to finish the group of
fasteners. If the solenoid driver is enabled, the solenoid output will no longer source +24VDC.
GROUP RESET OPERATION
In the event of a NOK, an error code will be displayed and the beeper will sound. The FAS3000 will need to be reset in
order to continue operating. The GROUP RESET will clear the error code and reset the count to zero. If sequencing is
enabled, the FAS3000 will also go back to the beginning of the sequence. If the solenoid driver is enabled, the solenoid
output will no longer source +24VDC.
In the event of a NOK, a cycle reset can be
performed by pressing this button.
In the event of a NOK, a GROUP RESET can be
performed by unlocking the unit with the key or
password and pressing this button.

ERROR CODES
The FAS3000 has seven error codes. The function and description of each error code are described below. In the event
of a NOK, the error code will be displayed and the beeper will sound until the operator performs a RESET. If the solenoid
driver is enabled, the solenoid output will source +24VDC until a RESET is performed.
"Screw Pre tightened".
This occurs if the clutch operates immediately within time t0.
Typical causes - Fastener is already tightened or cross threaded. The operator has "blipped" the
trigger/lever.
"Clutch operated too early".
This occurs if the clutch operates before time t1 and indicates the clutch has operated too early.
Typical causes: Screw is too short, has become cross threaded or is too tight. (i.e. Component
characteristics have changed, possible batch related problem), hole is not deep enough, screw too
long in a blind hole.
This problem could also occur if the air supply pressure has increased since the tool was last set
up. Alternatively, if the tool has just been serviced and or torque re-adjusted.
"Clutch operated too late".
This occurs if the clutch operates after time t2. Typical causes: Screw is too long in a through hole,
is too small a diameter, no thread, hole too large. It can also occur if the air supply pressure has
dropped and or the tool is becoming slow. Alternatively, if the tool has just been serviced and or
torque re-adjusted.
"Trigger/lever released too quickly after clutch operated".
This occurs if the trigger/lever is released too quickly after the clutch has operated. The check is
carried out with time t3.
Typical causes: Operator has released the trigger/lever too quickly after the clutch has operated
(But for a greater time then Timer t0).
Operators should be made aware of this feature.
"Trigger released before clutch operates".
This occurs if the trigger/lever is released before time limit t2 and before the clutch has operated.
Typical causes: Operator has released the trigger too early. (i.e. due to high ambient noise, may
sense that the tool has tightened and releases the trigger/lever).
Operators must wait for the Green OK LED to illuminate before releasing the trigger.
Problem with sensors, electrical Signals did not change.
This occurs if there is no change in the trigger/lever or clutch signals at the start of the cycle.
Typical causes: Defective sensor, broken sensor cable, tool requires repair or service.
In extreme cases, could be due to poor air supply to the tool.
When the cycle timer expires, this message will appear on the display until the GROUP is
complete or a GROUP RESET is activated.
