3) Model: you can select the screwdriver to be used. Your choice will automatically change the default
settings. It’s important to select the correct model you’re going to use since most parameters
regarding the motor software are specific to every single model.
ATTENTION: The pre-set torque level in % and in Nm for PLUTO3FR, PLUTO5FR o PLUTO7FR models
doesn’t appear on the display. Moreover, some settings will be unchangeable, so if you try to modify such
settings the following line will be displayed: “not available for clutch”.
4) Torque level: you can select the desired torque as a percentage of the torque range of the selected
screwdriver. For example, for a Pluto10, a 50% setting on hard joint will result in a torque in the area of 4,5
Nm. The torque range is always referred to the MAX speed. In case you’re not working at maximum speed,
the torque range will progressively lower in order to avoid motor stalling. If the torque level is reached
correctly, it will be shown on the display and you will hear a “beep” sound, too.
Such torque level is indicated as “ T: ..% ” on the main screen.
5) Joint: You can select the type of joint you are working on. A soft joint is typically a self tapping screw
on plastic or sheet metal, or a metric (machine) screw on a material subject to strain (for example: gasket, o
ring etc.) A hard joint is typically a fastener joining metal with metal.
If you select the option SOFT the screwdriver will run the complete cycle at the selected speed (see point
6.).
When selecting the option HARD the screwdriver will maintain the selected speed for a selected time after
the start (see point 4.) and then the speed will be reduced automatically to apply a pre-torque before
reaching the preset torque. The type of joint is indicated as “J” on the main screen.
IMPORTANT: An incorrect selection of the joint type can result in inaccurate torque output

6) Brake time: This option can be selected U only U in combination with the option JOINT: HARD.
It indicates how long the selected speed (higher speed) will be on before switching to “pre-torque speed”
(lower speed). The “pre-torque speed” will be automatically chosen by the unit depending on the preset
torque.
You can set the brake time from 0,3 to 10,0 s.
To disable the function select OFF by pressing as many times as needed. In this case the screwdriver will
automatically start at pre-torque speed, which cannot be set by the user.
CAUTION: The aim of the BRAKE TIME is only to speed up the approach time in case of long screws.
Reaching the torque at higher speed will result in inaccurate torque output. To avoid inaccurate torque we
suggest selecting a shorter time, and then increase it step by step until the optimum time is found.
Torque reached during the Brake Time won’t activate the torque signal and the message “Error brake
time” will be displayed on the main screen together with 2 “beep” sounds. The red led will turn on, too.

Manual EDU 2AE/TOP e EDU 2AE/TOP/TA Rev.0 Pagina 6
7) Ramp time: You can select the slow start time (acceleration) from 0.2 to 3.00 seconds. This option is
only available for the screwing phase, while during the unscrewing phase the ramp time is always 0.2
seconds. We suggest using this option with self tapping screws.
ATTENTION: Reaching the torque while the ramp is still on could give as result a different torque level
from the one that results when the ramp is over. This is due to the motor acceleration.
Reaching the torque while the ramp is still on will activate the “screw OK” signal anyway (this option is
useful if you need to tighten screws that are already tightened, the so called “double hit” ).
On the other hand, if you wish to see an error signal during the preset torque in the ramp phase, you can
change the minimum time by setting value which is equal or superior to the ramp value (see point 9)
8) Speed: You can select any speed value of the screwdriver between nominal (maximum speed given in
the catalogue) and the minimum speed of every single screwdriver (see table with technical data).

9) Min time - Minimum Time: You can set this time from 0,1s to 'Max time - 0.1s'. To disable the
function select OFF by pressing as many times as needed. (Min time = 0).
Torque reached below the minimum time won’t activate the torque signal and will result in an error
signal. “Below minimum time” will be displayed on the status bar and the red led will light up. You will
hear two beep sounds, too.
10) Max time - Maximum time: You can select the maximum tightening time. You can set from 'Min
time + 0,1s' to 20,0s.
ATTENTION: If torque isn’t reached within maximum time, the screwdriver will stop. “Over maximum
time” will be displayed on the status bar and the red led will light up. You will hear two beep sounds, too.
11) Auto rev. – Auto reverse: This option will automatically start a reverse cycle after a torque reached
signal. You can set time from 0.1 to 20.0s.
To disable the function select OFF by pressing as many times as needed.
ATTENTION: During the reverse cycle, it is necessary to keep the lever or the start signal pressed as long
as it won’t stop. “Correct screw” will be displayed on the status bar and a green led will light up. You will
hear one “beep” sound, too. In case the lever is released before the end of the reverse cycle, “unfinished
screw” will be displayed and a red led will light up. You will hear two “beep” sounds, too.

Manual EDU 2AE/TOP e EDU 2AE/TOP/TA Rev.0 Pagina 7
13) Rev torque – Unscrewing torque: You can select the desired torque as a percentage of the torque
range of the selected screwdriver (see point 2). If the torque is set on MAX, the unscrewing torque is about
20% higher than the possible maximum torque, so that it is always possible to unscrew the tightened screw
(we suggest leaving this function on in normal use). If the setting is from MIN to 99% the unscrewing
torque with the same percentage will be equal to the settings of the screwing phase.
ATTENTION: If you’re using open-end wrenches, the unscrewing torque has to be set to MIN value in
order to bring the wrench back to the correct position.
14) PV torque: Period of time in which the screwdriver works at maximum torque before switching to
the torque that has been set by the user. You can set time from 0.1s to 10.0s. To disable the function select
OFF by pressing as many times as needed.
This function overlaps other time settings (brake time, ramp time, minimum time, maximum time) from the
motor start on.
ATTENTION: This function is useful for applications where the prevailing torque is higher than the final
torque (for example trilobe screws or locknuts).
Please use this function with utmost attention because an incorrect use can damage both the assembly
and the screwdriver.
Torques reached during the max torque time won’t activate the torque signal. “Error pvt time” will be
displayed and the red led will light up. You will hear two “beep” sounds, too.

21) Compens – Compensation: This function allows an increase or decrease of the displayed torque
after calibration. The available range is from 0 to ±9,99Nm. For example: after calibration (see Torque
calibration) you make a screwing cycle on your assembly and compare the value you see on the main
screen display with the value you see on a torque tester (for example a mini-K model). Let's say you notice
that the torque displayed in the unit EDU 2AE/HP is +0.2Nm higher than the value indicated on the tester
(which is the right one). In this case you change this value by setting -0,2Nm so that the value on the screen
will be the same as the value on the tester. If it’s lower than 0.3Nm, you need to set +0.3Nm and so on.
22) Unit: You can choose between the following units of measurements: Nm and lb.in.
23) Torq min – Minimum torque: The minimum torque and maximum torque options allow the user to
set the acceptable torque range for each single application. When the reached torque is inside this range,
“tightening OK” will be displayed on the status bar and the green led will light up. If the reached torque is
outside this range the messages “error minimum torque” or “error maximum torque” will be displayed. You
can set the torque range from 0 Nm to 40 Nm at intervals of 0.01 Nm.
The minimum torque option allows to set the lowest value of the torque range and it’s on if calibration is
'ON'.
If calibration is 'OFF' the minimum torque value automatically sets on 0Nm.
