INTRODUCTION Section 1
OVERVIEW
IQWrench2 Opta combines all the features of a high specification digital torque and angle
wrench with a data collection system in one ergonomic package.
The IQWrench2 Opta is a powerful, smart torque tool which is essential in both the Quality
Audit and Assembly environments. This rugged, but light tool can be used on a stand alone
basis or as part of a sophisticated production control system.
Depending on customer needs, the IQWrench2 Opta can be configured as either a basic tool
or an advanced data collection system. Flexibility is enhanced as the software in the
IQWrench2 Opta can be upgraded almost as soon as a change is required.
The IQWrench2 Opta features the following four measurement modes, Track, Peak , Audit
and Yield. All of the above modes, other than Track, when the options are enabled, have
the facility to set specification and control limits. This enables the wrench to give the user
information as to the status of the torque cycle. This information is displayed in 4 ways:
On screen
As multi colour LEDs (on the top and underside of the wrench)
As a buzzer
As a vibrating handle
These indicate a HI, LO or OK fastener status and are known as the “Fastener Status
Indicators”.

6
INTRODUCTION Section 1
Track
This is the display of real time torque and it is typically used when calibrating the
IQWrench2.
Peak
In this mode the wrench can be used to audit the residual values of a pre-
tightened fixing or used as a tightening tool for low volume tightening applications.
The wrench can be set-up and used in 4 different ways:
Peak only
In this mode the wrench displays torque and the fastener status indicators are
activated when the control and specification parameters are reached.
Peak with Torque control
In this mode the wrench displays torque and angle, however, the fastener status
indicators are still activated on the Torque control and specification parameters
being reached. The wrench also uses a second parameter which is angle; this
angle information is used to monitor an angle window, giving greater security to
the tightened fixing.
Peak with Angle Control
In this mode the wrench displays torque and angle, and now uses the second
parameter of angle as the controlling parameter. The fastener status indicators
are now activated when the Angle control and specification parameters are
reached. The wrench is now operating as a production tool that is tightening to a
“pre” torque and final angle window.
Yield
In this mode, the wrench uses Torque and Angle to detect when the joint being
tightened is going to yield. The torque and angle values at this pont are
displayed and stored. The yield point is where the torque vs angle curve
gradient reduces to half its maximum value.
Audit
In this mode the wrench is purely used for auditing a pre-tightened fixing. This is a
special software algorithm that senses the break away point of the tightened fixing
and displays the torque value after a defined number of degrees is reached. In this
mode the wrench displays torque and the fastener status indicators show if the
correct angle has been pulled. The wrench will also display the final peak torque -
achieved once the cycle is complete.

7
INTRODUCTION Section 1
The IQWrench2 Opta is designed to be point of load insensitive, which means that the
operator can be assured of correct measurement, however the wrench is held and
torque is applied - particularly useful in limited access situations.
The IQWrench2 Opta can read the ID of special adaptors. It can use the ID and
check its value in a table loaded into the wrench to compensate for different length
adaptors. The wrench software can force a specific adaptor ID to be used for a
specific job, and to choose a specific job that uses that specific adaptor.
The IQWrench2 Opta is supplied with DIN standard interchangeable head fittings,
giving a wide range of head attachments to meet the assembly requirements, or a
fixed square head – dependent on torque range. There is an adaptor that will convert
the DIN heads to Dovetail (Sturtevant Richmond) which allows dovetail attachments to
be used.
When used in Jobs mode, the IQWrench2 Opta has the ability to store a large amount
of date and time stamped readings for each of the fasteners audited. This data can be
uploaded and stored on the PC with the use of the Opta Comms or OMS platform.
Data from the IQWrench2 Opta can be uploaded to a PC using a USB cable. The
IQWrench2 Opta has to be on a programming cradle to communicate to a PC via a
cable.
BATTERIES
IQWrench2 Opta uses a 3.7V Li Polymer battery (battery life - 14 hours of typical
use). It is recommended that the battery is replaced after 2 years of normal (single
shift) use, or 1 year of heavy (double shift) use during calibration / service.
Battery Disposal
To be disposed of in an environmentally sound manner and in
accordance with local legislation.
Do not incinerate.
Do not disassemble.
Do not short the terminals or expose to high temperatures.
Where the customer has issues disposing of batteries - please return to Crane
Electronics.
It is an offence to throw portable batteries out with domestic refuse.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Section 3
POWERING ON
To switch on the IQWrench2 Opta, press any arrow key.
If the wrench is switched on after it has powered down, it will return to the menu/
screen it was in before power was removed, or to the User menu if power was lost in
a Jobs/Rounds menu. You will see ‘Initialising...’ and ‘Wait...’ messages as the unit
powers up.
HARDWARE RESET
To perform a hardware reset, press the (RIGHT) and (UP) keys together.
Note: Performing a Hardware Reset resets the IQWrench2 Opta but does not erase
any settings or Job information. See Power in Section 4 for more information.
AUTO POWER OFF FUNCTION
As an energy saving feature, the IQWrench2 Opta is programmed to power down
automatically if it has received no user input for a predefined period (10 mins is the
default setting, but can be set to 1 minute as a minimum, through to constant power
on). Pressing any key will restore the unit to the last display prior to powering off. This
is to avoid the possibility of loss of data due to an interruption to the operator’s
activities while using the IQWrench2 Opta.
To Switch off without waiting for the Auto Power Off, go into Main Menu, scroll down
to the Power Off Icon (showing the symbol) and press ENTER.
ATTACHING A PC
Data from the IQWrench2 Opta can be downloaded to a PC by placing the wrench in its
programming cradle and connecting the cradle to the PC using the USB or RS232 cable
(see page 12).
