SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SECTION 1 - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1 - GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce risk of injury, everyone using, installing, repairing, maintaining, changing accessories on, or working
near this tool must read and understand the safety instructions before performing any such task. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
Our goal is to produce tools that help you work safely and efficiently. The most important safety device is the operator. Care and
good judgement are the best protection against injury. All possible hazards cannot be covered here, but we have tried to highlight
some of the important ones.
2 - WORK AREA HAZARDS
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating power tool. Distractions can cause the operator to lose
control.
3 - ELECTRICAL SAFETY
It is not possible to open the door of the controller when the controller is switched on. Only experienced and
qualified personnel (authorised electricians) are entitled to open the CVIS door and access to the inside of the
controller.
The tools and electrical equipment must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all relevant codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity
away from user.
Never replace the fuses by fuses of higher value. Never replace fuses by a short-circuit. Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain and wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cable. Never use the cable to carry the tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cable away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cables immediately. Damaged cables increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cables are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
4 - PERSONAL SAFETY
4.1 - General
The operator must stay alert, watch what he/she is doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
tools that have the switch on invites accidents. Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key
that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection. Serious injury can result from over-torqued or
under-torqued fasteners, which can break, or loosen and separate. Released assemblies can become projectiles. Assemblies

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
requiring a specific torque must be checked using a torque meter.
Note: so called "click" torque wrenches do not check for potentially dangerous over-torqued conditions. Do not use hand sockets.
Use only power or impact sockets in good condition.
4.2 - Earthing connection
Make sure that the controller is grounded via a protective conductor. The tool is connected to earth by means of a green/yellow
conductor via the controller. This protects the operator from any electric shock. The earthing contact of the tool connectors is
longer than all other connectors. Should the tool be connected or disconnected while voltage is applied, the "earthing" connection
will take priority and protect the operator from any electric shock. It is recommended not to carry out this operation when voltage
is applied.
4.3 - Differential circuit-breaker
4.3.1 - Internal device
The controller is fitted with a differential circuit-breaker for user protection. Any insulation defect in the cable or in the tool is
detected by this device. The tool motor stops when a leakage current exceeding 150 mA in 50 µs is detected by the device and a
warning message is displayed on the screen of the machine. The device protects the operator from any electric shock and protects
the servodrive from the deterioration of the power stage. The device is reset as from the next start cycle order (if the short-circuit
is no longer present). See test procedure in the "Maintenance" section.
4.3.2 - External device
The decision to install an external differential circuit-breaker depends on the type of internal electric network in the customer's
plant. This device detects any insulation defect between one of the phases of the network and the earth, immediately stops the
tool by automatic power cutoff and protects the operator from any electric shock.
Should circuit-breakers be installed at line head, we recommend that you select equipment with the following specifications:
Single-phased 230V 10 A - curve D
Single-phased 115V 20A - curve D
5 - TOOL USE HAZARDS
There is a real burning risk when in contact with the accessible parts of the tool. The selection of the tool and of the controller
takes account of the operating conditions as stated by the user, who shall not exceed the operating limits as specified by the
manufacturer at the time of the selection.
Any excessive internal temperature of the tool electric motor if higher than 100°C is detected by the controller and stops the tool.
It can start again only if the temperature decreases to under 80°C.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control. Be ready to counteract normal or sudden movements, using both
hands.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it is designed.
Do not use tool if switch doesn't turn it on or off: any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Disconnect the plug from power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained persons.
Maintains tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation.
If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool
may become hazardous when used on another one.
Although our cables are designed to work under drastic conditions, we recommend that you check the following points for longer
service life:
• Bending radii should not be lower than 10 times the cable diameter.

6159932410-02
English
7 / 76
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Friction with the outer sheath should be restricted.
• Any direct pull on the cable should be avoided.
6 - TOOL CARE AND SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
Only experienced and qualified personnel (authorised electricians) are entitled to open and have access to the inside of the
controller. To eliminate the risk of electric shock, the inside of the controller shall not be serviced until at least one minute has
elapsed after switching off the controller. It is necessary to check that the capacitors are completely discharged. Since the
temperature of the internal radiator can reach 75°C, it is important to check that this temperature cannot cause burns.
In order to eliminate the risk of electric shock and damage to components, the controller MUST be switched off prior to any tool
change. The new tool is automatically recognised as soon as the rack is switched on.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Use of unauthorised parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of electric shock injury.

INITIAL START-UP
SECTION 3 - INITIAL START-UP
1 - ON RECEIVING THE CONTROLLER
Check that the following items are included in the kit supplied with the controller:
• the SubD 37 pt (input/output) connector
• the triangular wrench to open the controller
• the certificate of conformity and the safety instructions
• the CDROM
On delivery, a separate kit can be provided according to the country of destination. The kit includes the following items:
• the mains plug
• the Operator's Manual
2 - INSTALLATION
2.1 - Mains connection
The controller can operate equally from 115 to 230V ± 10% / 50 to 60Hz without adjustment and without fuse change.
2.2 - Instant stop wiring
2.3 - Power consumption
Although the peak power can reach 3 KVA per channel during the final speed phase, it is recommended to adjust the power
circuits according to the maximum average power.
The average power consumption per channel depends on the type of tool which is connected, on the type of joint and on the
tightening frequency. However, due to the heat dissipation of the servodrives, the maximum average power should not exceed
0.5 KVA per channel.
2.4 - Overall size, weight and fastening
When installing the controller, a minimum clearance of 5 cm shall be provided on the right-hand side for the cables.
Fastening screw type to be used: M6
At the time of power up, check that the "INSTANT STOP" (EMERG. STOP) plug
is connected correctly on the right-hand side of the controller. The instant stop can
be connected either to the PLC, or to a push-button close to the tightening station. If
it is not connected, check that the strap is correctly positioned in the plug (see
opposite diagram). The opening of the Emergency Stop contact disables the power
circuit .
Note that it is recommended to wire the "INSTANT STOP" when using portable tools but that this is absolutely
mandatory for fixed tools.

• customise the station according to the application.
• display and modify the features of the spindle.
• program the tightening cycles.
• program the peripherals and miscellaneous.
Use the U and V keys to move the cursor and press W to validate.
1 - STATION
From the main menu, move the cursor to "PARAMETERS", then to "STATION" and press Wto validate.
Use the Uand Vkeys to move the cursor and use the Sand Tkeys to modify, then press Wto validate.
The cursor is positioned on the name of the station.
Station name 10 alphanumeric characters as a maximum.
Torque unit Nm, Ft.Lb, In.Lb, kg.m, kg.cm
Cycle source • the keyboard (by default).
• the "cycle no." inputs from a PLC, a socket tray, etc.
• the PC connected to the controller.
• a code read by a bar code reader. In this case, a "cycle no./code" cross reference table
indicates the cycle number to be selected. The parameters in this table can be defined in
the CVIPC software.
Spindle validation none (by
default), I/O,
PLC.
This function prohibits the start of the tool as long as the "Spindle
validation" signal is not enabled via the I/O or the PLC:
• In the Tightening direction only if the "Spindle validation on Run
reverse" parameter is not selected.
• In both directions, tightening and untightening, if the "Spindle valida-
tion on Run reverse" parameter is selected.
• Selecting "none", which is the default value, prohibits this function.
Error acknowledgement yes/no. When this function is programmed on "yes" the start of the spindle is not
validated after a reject report. The "error acknowledgement" input
(contact no. 26 of the Input/Output connector) must be validated (for
example with a push-button) to let the spindle start again.
Pulse start cycle yes/no. When this mode is enabled, the cycle is started on the pulse of the "start
cycle" signal and is not maintained at "1" throughout the run. If "no" is
selected, the signal remains enabled throughout the cycle. For safety
reasons, this function is not available when using portable tools.
Run reject spindles yes/no. When this mode is enabled, the system only runs the spindles with a reject
report from the previous cycle. A reset command must be sent to start all
the spindles.
Lock on Ncycle OK yes/no. When this function is enabled, the controller will lock the cycle start as
soon as the number of OK cycles run has reached the programmed
"NCYCOK. A reset command must be sent to unlock the cycle start.
Spindle validation on run
reverse
yes/no This parameter is always combined with the "Spindle validation"
parameter and allows the run reverse to be validated, or not, by the
external monitoring system via the I/O or the PLC.
AZC on cycle start yes/no This mode allows you or not to run the tests at the cycle start. It is useful
not to run the tests for spindles already subjected to stress when the cycle
starts.

PROGRAMMING
Submenu "RUN REVERSE":
Remark: real untightening of the screw is detected when torque ≥minimum torque AND angle ≥minimum angle (the angle
being measured from the minimum torque).
When both programmed values equal to 0, there is no detection.
2 - SPINDLE
2.1 - "Spindle/User" menu
This menu allows you to display the features of the tool which is connected.
With its integrated memory, the tightening tool is automatically recognised by the system.
2.2 - "Spindle/Controller" menu
Some parameters can be changed:
Reject report on start cycle
release
yes/no This mode prevents or not the reject report from being systematically
printed when the SCY signal drops during the cycle.
Reject report on stop because
of timeout
yes/no This mode allows the reject report to be sent or not at the end of the
maximum duration of the cycle
Test cycle cycle number This cycle is run as a self-test. It is programmed like a standard cycle.
Pulse RP 0 - 4 s
≠ 0: the accept or reject report is a variable pulse.
0: the accept or reject report is a maintained level.
Current monitoring yes/no When this function is enabled, you can enter current tolerances in the
cycle parameters.
Sensitivity coefficient normal/per cycle available for all cycles or individually per cycle.
230V / 120V: 230V by default indicates mains voltage to the controller. This parameter is used in the
"ergo-stop" function.
Submenu "INPUTS or OUTPUTS"
The various input/output functions can be allocated to the physical Inputs (I1 to I8) and the Outputs (O1 to O8). See default or
customised configuration insection: "Connections and Installation".
Run reverse speed 0 to 100% This speed can be used for any untightening, operation (except for a cycle
run reverse phase). Warning: when speed equals to 0, untightening is
forbidden.
Minimum torque Minimum torque allowing to detect a real untightening of the assemby
Minimum angle Minimum angle allowing to detect a real untightening of the assembly
Maximum time Maximum untightening duration (when it equals to 0, untightening is
continuous)
To change the tool, switch off the controller, replace the tool and switch on the controller.
The "tool change" message is displayed on the screen to inform the operator that the new tool has been recognised
and taken into account.
Fastener number 3 alphanumeric characters as a maximum.
Comment 15 alphanumerical characters as a maximum.
ergo-stop yes/no When this functionality is enabled, the jerk felt by the operator at the end of the
tightening operation is attenuated.
nominal load coeffi-
cient
1.0 by default. This coefficient allows you to take into account the efficiency of a reduction gear
added to the tool. For example: 1.8 for a reduction of 2 with an efficiency of 90%.
