Manual Mode
In Manual mode, no process is monitored by the system except for controlling the pressure target, and no results are recorded.
To be able to manually monitor the process, the controller GUI shows the information about the pressure, torque and angle.
The first time Manual mode is run after system startup, the operator must Set Target Pressure by entering the intended target pressure to use. Subsequent manual mode runs will remember the latest used pressure target as long as the system is powered.
The Set Target Pressure screen is populated with the tensioning manual mode configuration parameter Default manual hydraulic pressure.
The target pressure is limited by the lowest of the following:
Max pressure of the pump
Max pressure of the tensioner
Max system hydraulic pressure - the manual mode configuration parameter
Manual Mode Operation
On the Home view, go to Tasks > Manual Mode.
Set the target pressure.
When Position tool on bolt appears, it is possible to change the target pressure by pressing the More button.
Press the Forward button to start Manual mode.
Pressurize by pressing the pressurize button.
Pressurization stops at the target pressure or when the pressurize button is released.
Applied torque on the wrench is visualized both as a white bar and digits.
Registered angle is presented with digits.
When torque starts decreasing, the peak torque is visualized in black, and the present torque in white bar. The peak measurement is presented with digits.
Use the More button to do the following:
Set new pressure target - select Set Target Pressure in the pop-up window.
Clear the registered peak torque and angle.
Moving wrench in counter clockwise direction is registered as negative torque and angle.
To exit manual mode, use the Back button.
Exit manual mode is only possible when pressure is released from the system.
The controller GUI goes back to Tasks menu.
