Overview
General overview
EPBC tools are wireless pistol nutrunners.
They can be equipped with a barcode reader or a tracker.
They are hand-held by the operator and powered by a Desoutter battery pack.
On delivery, the tool display is protected by a password.
Psets and Assembly Processes can be set up with:
• Tool display
• CVI3 Vision
• CONNECT
• CVI CONFIG
Tightening reports, results and curves are collected by the system the tool is connected to.
Tool settings can be done via CVI CONFIG.
Tool maintenance can be done with eDOCK and CVIMONITOR software.
EPBC tools can be used in stand-alone without communicating with systems.
The tool behaviour is then the same as an EPBA tool.

Network settings must have been done previously by using CVI CONFIG.
How to set up Psets and Assembly Processes
On delivery, the tool has no tightening process.
Launch CVI CONFIG software to create Psets and Assembly Processes and transfer the configuration to the tool.
A simple Pset can also be created from the display of the system the tool is connected to.
Refer to the user manual of CVI CONFIG available at https://www.desouttertools.com/resource-centre.
P0 is displayed on the tool screen and the tool is locked.
A Pset is shown by this icon.
A Pset is a tightening operation combining one or several steps, each step describing a function.
The tool will execute the steps one after the other in the given order.
Content of the steps and the order can be changed at any time.
The minimum to run the tool is 1 Pset containing 1 step.
An Assembly Process is commonly called AP and is shown by this icon.
The Assembly Process available in products and systems consists in executing a Pset a certain number of times or
unlimited. This feature is named Batch.
Create as many Psets / Assembly Processes as you want.
For each of them, enter a description which will be displayed on the tool screen.
Transfer the configuration to the tool.
If the transfer fails, unplug and plug the battery pack. Re-start the transfer.
