Calibration via tool display
The calibration procedure is recommended to compensate for any possible drift of the tool torque or after each
change of tool element.
This function is set in the "Maintenance" menu.
1. Enter the Maintenance password in the "Configuration" menu.
2. Insert a torque transducer in line with the tool and connect it to any measuring unit from the Desoutter range.
3. Go to "Maintenance/Calibration".
Select the number of tightenings required to execute the calibration and press OK.
Run a Pset the number of times already configured (at max. torque and with an angle above 180° (at low
speed)).
Go on with other tightenings by pressing the trigger.
4. The average torque value is displayed in white.
On the line below, enter the average torque value measured by the measuring unit (± 20 % vs the tool nominal
torque are allowed).
5. Use the left/right buttons to increase or decrease the value.
Press OK and save your data.
Calibration with eDOCK and CVIMONITOR
The calibration procedure is recommended to compensate for any possible drift of the tool torque or after any change
of tool element.
In the manual mode, the standard procedure is executed.
Measurements and values are typed manually by the operator.
The equipment required is as follows:
• Tool equipped with a torque transducer in line
• CVIMONITOR
• Delta measuring unit
Click this icon.
Click Tool calibration.
The standard procedure is as follows:
1. Select the Pset to execute.
2. Select the number of tightenings to perform (5 by default, 50 as a maximum).
According to the test bench use, the tightening may be preceeded by a loosening.
3. Click "Start calibration".
4. Start performing the first loosening / tightening operation. The operation must be successful.
5. At the end of each operation, enter the torque value on the measuring unit.
6. When all operations are performed, a new calibration value is displayed.
Checking before putting back into service
Prior to putting the equipment back into service, check that its main settings have not been modified and that the
safety devices work properly.
Advanced tool maintenance with ACCESS KEY
Launch CVIMONITOR.
To activate the screens, you need to have an ACCESS KEY USB stick with the right profile (configured with the
Desoutter CVIKEY software).
If not, contact your CVIKEY manager for support.
