Quick Start Guide

To create a better overview of the system, this section provides a quick guide covering the basic steps required to get started with the Smart Tensioning System and Power Focus Software.

The section does not explain every feature of the system, but instead focuses on the most basic ones.

  1. To start the system, the pump and the tensioner must be connected to the hand controller before turning on power on the hydraulic pump with the power switch.

  2. Rundown the tensioner straight on top of the bolt. Make sure that the socket inside the tensioner is engaged on the nut by moving the click wrench. Listen for the click sound. Observe that the tensioner rotates as the wrench applies some force on the nut.

  3. When the Tasks icon on the hand controller is active, run Manual mode by using the keypad buttons on the hand controller.

  4. Set the target pressure to a low pressure, for example, 500 bars, and then press the pressurize button.

    If the motor is running, but there is no pressure increase, the most common problem is that the motor runs backwards. Power off the system and reverse the phases of the power connector, then try again.

  5. When the system is pressurized, move the click wrench to see the Angle and Torque readings update.
