Troubleshooting Guide
Problem | Reason | Action |
---|---|---|
The tool does not shut off, or the tightening time is too long. | Target torque close to maximum torque of the tool. | Chose a bigger tool with more power. |
Low dynamic air pressure. | Check the dimensions of the hose and couplings. Increase the air pressure. | |
Low rotation speed. | See problem "The rotation speed is too low". | |
The extension is too long. | Check the extension. | |
Worn extension or socket/bits. | Check the extension and socket/bits. | |
Torque setting screw is turned too much. | Adjust the torque setting screw CCW until tool shuts off. | |
The stop pin in the shut off mechanism is incorrectly adjusted. | Check with a gauge. | |
Incorrect oil level in the Pulse unit. | Adjust the oil level or refill the oil. | |
The joint is too soft for the tool. | Chose a bigger tool with more power. | |
Worn parts in the Pulse unit. | Inspect and replace any worn parts, see https://servaid.atlascopco.com. | |
Malfunctioning AutoTrim. | Check the AutoTrim function. | |
The yield point of the joint is reached. | Check the joint specification. | |
The pulse frequency is too high or too low. | Incorrect oil level in the Pulse unit. | Adjust the oil level or refill the oil. |
Inconsistent shut off or insufficient accuracy | The target torque is not within the tool specification. | Change to a different tool size. |
Not enough pulses (hard joint and low torque setting). | See section Optimizing the Performance of Your ErgoPulse Tool. | |
Extension is too long. | Check the extension. | |
Worn extension or socket/bits. | Check the extension and socket/bits. | |
Pressure fluctuations in the air supply. | Use a pressure regulator (for each tool) to get a consistent air supply. | |
Incorrect oil level in the Pulse unit. | Adjust the oil level or refill the oil. | |
Friction is too low on the Torque setting screw. | Replace with new screw. | |
Worn parts in the Shut off mechanism. | Inspect and replace any worn parts. | |
Stop pin in the Shut off mechanism is not correctly adjusted. | Check with a gauge. | |
Malfunctioning AutoTrim. | Check the AutoTrim function. | |
The joint is too soft and max torque setting. | Reduce the torque setting slightly, or use a bigger tool with more power. | |
The rotation speed is too low. | Not enough air pressure. | Check the dimensions of the hose and couplings. Increase the air pressure. |
Wrong Trim valve setting | Adjust the Trim valve. | |
Dirt in the Inlet or the Silencer. | Clean or replace the air Inlet strainer and the Silencer filter if needed. | |
Worn parts in the motor. | Inspect and service the motor. | |
Wrong or damaged trigger valve. | Inspect the trigger valve. | |
AutoTrim does not work properly | Set screw in tool handle is set to Trim mode. | Set the Set screw to AutoTrim mode. |
Dirt in the silencer filter. | Replace the silence filter. | |
Wrong adjustments or settings. | See section Adjusting the AutoTrim Valve. | |
Dirt or damaged parts in the AutoTrim. | Inspect and replace any worn parts. | |
The wrong auto-trim part has been used. | Check Spare Part for to use, see https://servaid.atlascopco.com. |
