Parameter Description
Thread Selection of the thread direction of the screw.
CW: when operating in forward, the tool rotates clockwise.
CCW: when operating in forward, the tool rotates counter-
clockwise.
Target torque The torque value to reach.
Min./max. torque Torque values which define the min./max. torque tolerances.
Min./max. angle Angle values which define the min./max. angle tolerances.
Abort angle 5,000 degrees by default
Start torque This is the torque value that must be reached to declare the
Pset as started.
Below this value, neither result or report will be generated.
Angle threshold This is the torque threshold value used to start counting the
angle (usually 50% of the target torque)
Max. time 30 sec by default. The tool stops when the time is reached.
Motor control
Starting at the "Start" signal, the tool runs with a programmed acceleration up to "Rundown speed".
The tool keeps running at "Rundown speed".
Once "Downshift torque" has been reached, the speed changes to "Downshift speed".
Item Parameter Description
1 Pset start torque The Pset start torque is the torque
value that must be reached to declare the
Pset as started.
Below this value, neither result or report
will be generated.

EN Operation
06/2020 13 / 24
Item Parameter Description
2 Rundown speed Speed applied from the start to "Down-
shift torque".
3 Downshift torque Torque value where the speed moves
from "Rundown speed" to "Downshift
speed".
4 Downshift speed Speed applied from "Downshift torque"
to the motor stop.
Operating Instructions
How to use the tool
Starting the tool
Fit the tool with a suitable socket.
Select the appropriate Pset.
Hold the tool by means of the handle and apply to the fastener to be tightened.
WARNING Risk Of Injury
As the reaction force increases in proportion to the tightening torque, there is a risk of severe bodily injury of the
operator as a result of unexpected behavior of the tool.
►Make sure that the tool is in perfect working order and the system is programmed correctly.
Press the trigger to start the tool.
