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
g
enerated.

If this button is pressed, the operator
will be prompted for a four-digit
password before entering the program
menu.
Pressing the left or right arrows will advance the
display to the next or previous screen respectively.
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
g

p
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.
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.

will be displayed until the GROUP is complete or the GROUP RESET is activated. The Group Timer Start input must be maintained in
order for the timer to run. Also, the group timer must be disabled and enabled in order to restart the timer. The maximum group time is 99.9
seconds.

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.
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.

"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.

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.
