I . INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Panasonic Assembly Qualifier. The AQ Wireless can monitor
battery tools. In its simplest form, the AQ Wireless is configured to monitor a tool while it's
running, determine if the fastening process was successful, report the status of the fasten-
ing, and perform counting functions.

Getting Ready
Installation requirements
Select SIGNAL STRENGTH on the third menu screen and verify the wireless signal strength.
Install the unit in a location where the signal strength is at least -100 dBm. If you are unable
to get a reading of at least -100 dBm, check for obstructions between the Assembly Qualifier
and the tool. However, temporary interference or other issues may interrupt communications.
Be sure to test the Assembly Qualifier adequately at the site where it is to be used. Using the
4 screw holes, mount the Assembly Qualifier securely so that it will not fall off the wall. The
Assembly Qualifier may cause injury if it falls from the installation location.

III . OPERATION
Registering the tool with the assembly qualifier
● Preparing the assembly qualifier
1. Connect the power cord to the assembly qualifier.
2. Plug the power cord into a wall outlet.
3. Turn on the assembly qualifier.
All indicators will turn on and off, leaving only the power indicator on.
4. Insert a mode switching key into the key lock and turn to the left.
The power indicator will flash, and the assembly qualifier will enter tool
registration standby mode.
● Preparing the tool to be registered
1. Operate the tool so that all the panel lights are off (if any panel lights are on).
2. Pull the tool’s trigger.
Once the tool has been registered, the assembly qualifier’s fastening PASS
signal will turn on.
3. Turn the assembly qualifier’s mode switching key to the right.
The power indicator will turn on and the assembly qualifier will enter receive
mode, completing the registration process.
CAUTION
The registration procedure should be performed away from other transmitter-
equipped tools. When registering multiple tools, do so one pair at a time. Failure to
do so may cause an unintended tool to be registered with the assembly qualifier.
