1.0 Introduction
The SPC4TM Model 702-DL WiFi Load Monitoring System (SPC4TM System) is designed to facilitate the
bolted structures’maintenance process by remotely receiving the clamp load seen in a bolted joint. The
SPC4TM System can also store the clamp load values and it can be interfaced with a computer to download
and analyze the previously stored values. This SPC4TM System is used in conjunction with fasteners fitted
with load indicating hardware and SPC4TM 702-01 WiFi Load Monitoring Units.
The SPC4TM System incorporates precision electronic devices. As all attempts have been made to
manufacture these components as rugged as possible, care must be taken in handling the WiFi data logging
system, the power cord, antenna, and USB flash drive. Flagrant or abusive handling of these components can
render them inoperable and/or compromise the accuracy of the measured load readings. The antenna and
antenna connector of the system are sensitive, hence the use of a protective cap and antenna holder. Also, all
of the SPC4TM load indicating fasteners have been shipped with protective caps installed to protect the datum-
disk surface. These protective caps should always remain on the datum-disks and only be removed to install
the SPC4TM 702-01 WiFi load monitoring unit for measuring loads. After measuring loads, the protective
caps should be replaced to keep the datum-disk surface clean and to protect it from incidental contact damage.
Store any protective caps in a safe and clean area whenever SPC4TM 702-01 units are installed.
With proper care and use, this system can provide years of reliable operation. To this end, it is very
important to completely familiarize yourself with the operation of this system before use. Read this manual
carefully and pay particular attention to all precautions and warnings.
1.1 Inspection

2.0 Operation and Measurement
The following paragraphs describe the operation of the SPC4TM System, which consists of the 702-DL
WiFi data logging unit, a USB Flash Drive, and antenna.
The system is used in conjunction with fasteners fitted with load indicating hardware to monitor and
record the clamp load of the bolted joints as well as 702-01 WiFi data monitoring units which send data to the
data logger. Calibration certificates, supplied with each fastener, enable correlation of the 702-01 units
percentage readings to joint clamp load (bolt tension) in pounds and the ability of the data logger to receive
and save this data.

2.1 Warning
FASTENER INSTALLATION CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS OR EVEN DEADLY!
ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
WHILE OPERATING YOUR TIGHTENING EQUIPMENT.
FOR SAFETY REASONS, NEVER PLACE ANY PART OF YOUR BODY, ESPECIALLY YOUR
HEAD, DIRECTLY IN-LINE WITH THE FASTENER.
ELECTRICITY CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH, SOMETIMES EVEN WITH
RELATIVELY LOW VOLTAGES OR CURRENTS. THEREFORE, IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT
THAT ANY ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENTS, SUCH AS THIS SYSTEM, BE FULLY
UNDERSTOOD BEFORE USE.
DO NOT USE THIS SYSTEM, OR ANY OTHER PIECE OF ELECTRICAL OR ELECTRONIC
TEST EQUIPMENT, WITHOUT FIRST THOROUGHLY FAMILIARIZING YOURSELF WITH
ITS CORRECT MODE OF OPERATION AND USE.
2.2 Precautions
[1] When handling the antenna, grip it with your hand in the area of the green arrows as shown in
Figure 2.2.1. Refrain from handling the antenna in the area of the red arrows. This part of the antenna is
sensitive and improper handling may cause damage to the antenna. When bending the foot (outlined in
blue) of the antenna, grasp one hand on the upper part of the antenna while your other hand holds the foot at
the location of the green arrows and bends.
NOTE: Never attach/detach the antenna to/from the DL while the foot is bent.
NOTE: Never attach/detach the antenna to/from the DL while it is powered.
NOTE: Never unplug the DL power cord from the electrical outlet while the “ACT”LED is on.
NOTE: Moving the antenna while the DL is powered should be kept to a minimum.
Following these precautions will decrease the chances that the antenna will become impaired and maintain
the quality of the DL’s wireless signal.
Figure 2.2.1 - Handling the Antenna
[2] The external network connector should always have its protective cap on when not in use. This protects the
connector from dirt and damage.
[3] Do not attempt to carry the DL by the power cord or antenna. The DL should be closed and carried by the
handle when transporting.
[4] Do not attempt to force the power cord tip into an electrical outlet of a different type. Use the additional
power cord tips intended for international use outside of the United States.
[5] It is strongly recommended that you do NOT use any USB hubs that connect to the DL, only use the three
USB ports provided. The absolute max current rating is 500 mA / port.

[6] The label of the USB flash drive is “VFLOG”and should never be changed.
[7] Do not attempt to clean the DL by abrading it with emery cloth or sandpaper.
[8] Any attempts of cleaning the DL should be made while it is completely unpowered (power cord
disconnected) and the antenna removed with the ACC covering the enclosure antenna connector. The USB
flash drive may remain in.
[9] Do not use abrasives, solvents or aromatic hydrocarbons to clean the DL as damage may occur to the plastic
case. If cleaning is necessary, use only a mild solution of warm water and detergent on the outside of the
enclosure. Do not use any liquids to clean on the inside of the enclosure. Only a clean cloth or the blowing
dry air are permitted to be used when cleaning the inside of the enclosure.
[10] Do not attempt to repair the DL. This unit contains no user-serviceable parts inside the enclosure.
[11] Avoid placing the DL in an area where it may possibly be submerged in water. The DL has been made
being completely waterproof when the lid closed, however this precaution should be taken into
consideration to avoid possible damage to the DL.
[12] Never unplug the DL power cord from the electrical outlet while the “ACT”LED is on.
2.3 702-DL Setup
[1] Before getting started on the first time setup, it should be noted that the DL comes with some data saved to
the FD. This initial data acts as a proof of calibration that the respective 702-01 WiFi probes are calibrated
and work with this DL system. Starting with a fresh log is optional, visit 2.7 Creating a New Data Log.
[2] Remove the protective cap on the antenna connector, open the DL and remove the antenna from its holder,
and the install the antenna, see 2.6 Antenna Installation.
[3] With the antenna installed, verify that the FD is connected and then connect the DL to an electrical outlet via
the power cord. The “ON/STANDBY”LED will begin blinking indicating that it is in standby mode.
Note: Power cord tips are provided with the DL intended to be used internationally outside of the United
States.
[4] While in standby, wait approximately 30 seconds for the “WiFi ON”and “Router ON”LEDs to turn on.
[5] Once the two LEDs are turned on, press the “POWER ON/OFF”button momentarily. The “ON/STANDBY”
LED will stop blinking and be turn on continuously. The “ACT”LED will start flickering while Raspberry
Pi™loads the OS from its memory.
[6] Close the lid of the DL and lock the two latches. Wait approximately 5 to 15 minutes for the date and time of
the Raspberry Pi™to sync with the router. This is important in logging data so that the date and time is
accurate and relative.
Note: Time is in UTC. We advise against changing the timezone from UTC.
[7] The DL is now ready to be used. Attach the 702-01 WiFi monitoring units that come with the 702-DL kit at
the desired locations.

2.4 702-DL Shutdown
[1] Press the “POWER ON/OFF”button momentarily. The “ACT”LED will flicker while the on board computer
saves any open files and will turn off when done.
[2] Wait approximately 30 seconds for the “ON/STANDBY”LED to no longer be on continuously and begin
blinking.
[3] The system has now been shutdown and is in it’s standby mode. You can remove the FD from this point for
data access, but not remove the antenna. To remove the antenna, go to 2.4.1 702-DL Power Down.
Note: While the DL has been shutdown, it cannot store any data that it receives. Therefore it is advised that
shutdowns be short. This also disables the remote access to the data.
Note: Press the “POWER ON/OFF”button again to turn on the DL while it is in standby mode after a
shutdown.
Note: Never unplug the DL power cord from the electrical outlet while the “ACT”LED is on.
Note: Never unplug the FD from the DL while the “ACT”LED is on.
2.4.1 702-DL Power Down
[1] A DL power down is the next step in a complete DL shutdown, assuming the steps of 2.4 702-DL Shutdown
are already completed.
[2] While the DL is in its standby mode, remove the power cord from the electrical outlet. The system will lose
all power and the router and WiFi LED will be turned off. It is safe to remove the antenna in this mode, see
2.6.1 Antenna Removal.
Note: Never unplug the DL power cord from the electrical outlet while the “ACT”LED is on.
Note: The 702-DL setup must be completed again after this, see 2.3 702-DL Setup.
2.5 Accessing the Flash Drive Data
The USB flash drive (FD) is what contains all of the measured load data. Accessing the data remotely or
directly will result in the same data being shown. Accessing the data directly should only be done if a new
data log is desired (delete, create new, etc), otherwise remote access is more efficient and reliable.
2.5.1 Flash Drive Remote Access
[1] From a computer, connect to the DL network via Ethernet cable or through the DL WiFi network. When
using WiFi, search the computer’s wireless network connections for the network name (SSID) of the given
DL. Type in the SSID passphrase for the DL network.
Note: The network name (SSID) and SSID passphrase are located on the certification sheet and are
determined by the customer at the time of ordering. If no information was given, then the network name was
assigned and the SSID passphrase randomized.
[2] Once connected to the DL network, locate the computer’s file explorer and open it.
[3] Highlight the address bar and delete its contents. In the address bar type “\\VFpi”or “\\192.168.100.2”
(\\192.168.100.2 is the default, consult accompanying documents for exact address).
Note: If prompted for a username or password, examine 2.9.2 702-DL Raspberry Pi™for those credentials.
[4] A folder will appear with the name of “VFPi_Share”, double click and open the folder.
Note: Depending on the computer’s speed and strength of the network connection, this may take some time.

[5] A new file will appear called “WiFiBoltLog.txt”. This is the where all of the bolt load data is stored. From
here, double-clicking and opening the file grants access to the recorded data. The information from the file or
the file itself can be copied and saved to a computer. When remotely connected, the remote user has only
READ-ONLY permissions for this file.
Note: See Figure 2.5.1 - Understanding the Data to become familiarized with the information contents
inside the log.
Figure 2.5.1 –Understanding the Data
If the ‘B’character (see below Figure 2.5.2 - Low Battery Indication in the Data) is displayed at the end
of the data, then that means that the battery of that particular 702-01 WiFi probe is low. A low battery will
eventually cause problems in data transmission so the battery of that particular probe should be replaced as
soon as possible with a new one. As a good precaution, any probe with the same transmission rate that was
installed at the same time of the low battery probe should also have their batteries replaced.
Figure 2.5.2 - Low Battery Indication in the Data
2.5.2 Flash Drive Direct Access
[1] Shutdown (recommended) or power down the DL (see 2.4 702-DL Shutdown or 2.4.1 702-DL Power
Down).
[2] While the DL is in standby mode (“ON/STANDBY”LED blinking), remove the FD from the DL.
[3] Connect the FD to the computer and open it. It is labeled as “VFLOG”.
[4] The “WiFiBoltLog.txt”file will now be visible, allowing it to be opened.
[5] The data can now be accessed, saved, edited, and removed.
Note: See below 2.7 Creating a New Data Log about removing the log and making a new one.
Note: Never change the “VFLOG”label.
[6] After direct access with the data log is done, eject the FD and remove it from the computer.

2.9 Additional Information
2.9.1 702-DL Router
The router is what allows the DL to receive and send data via the router’s WiFi network. As such, the
router may be accessed if desired to change specific elements at a risk that any change may hinder the DL or
make it become nonoperational. The router already comes preconfigured with all correct network
parameters. The information on accessing the router as well as what can and should not be changed is
provided below.
Router Information:
●IP Address: 192.168.100.1 (Default, subject to change per customer requirement)
●Hostname: openwrt
●Username: root
●Password: L3t.M3.!n
Forbidden Router Changes:
●Do NOT change any information relating to the WiFi network. This includes SSID and the SSID
passphrase.
●Do NOT change any information about the static leases of the router.
●Do NOT change the username “root”.
●Do NOT change the router timezone (UTC) to another timezone.
We, Valley Forge & Bolts, do not support making any changes to the router and have only outlined some
of the stricter aspects that should never be changed. Be advised that any changes to the router may break the
network and affect the functionality of the DL system.
2.9.2 702-DL Raspberry Pi™
The Raspberry Pi™(Model Zero W) is a single board computer which allows the DL to operate. The
Raspberry Pi™should never be accessed by anyone other than by a qualified technician. The credentials
are only provided in the event that they are needed to access the data log.
Raspberry Pi™Information:
●IP Address: 192.168.100.2 (Default, subject to change per customer requirement)
●Hostname: VFpi
●Username: pi
●Password: !.Want.1n
Raspberry Pi™information should never be changed. Any changes will alter the functionality of the DL
system. We advise that the Raspberry Pi™information only be used in the event of difficulties.

2.9.3 702-DL Placement
The DL should be placed in the general location of the 702-01 WiFi monitoring units to ensure a good
connection is made between the two. The antenna should be oriented in an upward (skyward) direction,
NOT pointing at the 702-01 WiFi monitoring units (use care when repositioning the antenna; don't use
excessive force and/or try to bend it). To achieve better positioning freedom, the DL can be positioned in a
standing orientation (Figure 2.9.1-B) that allows the antenna to be located at the top compared to a normal
sitting position (Figure 2.9.1-A). If the DL is positioned in a standing orientation, then it is suggested to
place sufficient support at the back of the DL to prevent it from being knocked over.
Figure 2.9.1 –DL Orientation
