TABLE OF CONTENTS
Safety FIRST: To avoid possible
injury, always follow these
recommended precautions:
• Wear safety glasses or goggles at
all times. The TCV and AC Adaptor
are for dry location use only.
• Do not stand in water when using
the TCV or allow the TCV to get wet.
• Be sure torque wrench properly
engages fastener prior to
applying torque.
• Maintain rm footing and balanced
body position when applying torque.

1 Introduction
The TCV/Switch Wrench System is designed to assist the manufacturer in
closing several loops in the quality system which have been, until now,
gaps in their quality improvement efforts. The key capabilities this system
enables are as follows:
1. The ability to integrate hand torque tools into the automated line
control system.
2. Process control of the actual torque wrench use process, not just the
wrench calibration process.
3. Rapid and effective training in proper torque wrench use, with
reinforcement of proper technique provided with every wrench click.
This chapter will cover the system, starting with the concepts involved
in the use of the TCV-FM and FM Switch Wrench system.
The TCV-FM works with the FM Switch Wrench to bring systematized
control to the use of manual torque wrenches. The control is applied as follows:
1. The FM Switch Wrench is a preset clicker-type torque wrench. The
torque is preset using a torque tester to assure the wrench is
accurately set, then the torque setting is locked in.
2. The joint is tested with the FM Switch Wrench and an indicating
torque wrench to determine the proper duration of a click on the joint.
3. The maximum and minimum duration of a click is programmed into
the TCV-FM.
4. The FM Switch Wrench is used to tighten a fastener. As soon as the
wrench clicks, the electronics on the wrench begin to time the
duration of the click.
5. When the pressure is released on the wrench, the timer is stopped
and the duration of the click is transmitted to the TCV-FM. The TCVFM
compares the time to the minimum (TMIN) and maximum (TMAX)
allowable times for signal duration.
6. The TCV-FM communicates immediately to the operator the
acceptability of that use of the wrench. Front panel LED’s and a
buzzer inform the operator whether or not the fastener was accepted.
7.The 24 Volt I/O circuit (Input/Output) will report the results of the tool(s)
operation. With the TCV the PLC could be used as a part of a SCADA
system.

2 Safety Precautions
For your safety and the safety of others, read and understand the safety
recommendations before installing or operating the TCV.
TCV are designed and constructed to provide the user with a safe
and reliable means of calibrating torque wrenches and power tools.
Should a fault occur which impairs its function and/or compromises its
safe use, immediately disconnect the unit from its power source and
secure against unintended operation. Under no circumstances should
repair be attempted by persons not qualied in the service of electronic
instrumentation. Please contact our customer service department at
[e-mail] to schedule a return.
When testing a tool torque, always wear protective equipment:
For additional information on eye and face protection, refer to Federal
OSHA Regulations, 29CFR § 1910.133, Eye and Face Protection,
and American National Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1, Occupational
and Educational Eye and Face Protection. Z87.1 is available from the
American National Standards Institute, Inc., 11 West 42nd Street, New
York, NY 10036.
Hearing protection is recommended in high noise areas of 85 dBA
or greater. The operation of other tools and equipment in reective
surfaces, process noises and structures can substantially contribute
increase the noise level in the area. Excessive air pressure above 90
PSI or worn motor components can also increase sound level emitted
by the tool. Proper hearing conservation measures, including annual
audiograms and training in the use and t of hearing protection devices
may be necessary. For additional information on hearing protection,
refer to CFR § 1910.95, Occupational Noise Exposure, and American
National Standards Institute, ANSI S12.6, Hearing Protectors.

Owners Manual
TCV should be securely mounted and located such that inadvertent
movement will not allow the unit to be dislodged, possibly causing
personal injury or damage to the unit. Should the unit be dropped,
it should be checked by someone qualied in the service of
electronic instrumentation.
WARNING: Shock Hazard. Disconnect power to
the unit before attempting to service. Any internal
adjustments should be carried out only by skilled
persons who are aware of the hazards of dealing
with live circuitry. The cabinet which houses the
circuitry provides protection against dust and
falling dirt. This unit should be used only indoors.
Do not use in explosive atmospheres.
WARNING: Shock Hazard. Damaged cords or
plugs are dangerous, and should be repaired or
replaced as necessary.
CAUTION: Tripping Hazard. Electrical cords and
tool cables must be organized and located in such
a manner as to reduce the likelihood of the user
and others from tripping or becoming entangled in
electrical cords and cables used with this product.
Route electrical cord so that it is not subject to
chang, crushing, or severing.
