Tool Health

The Health pane contains information about tool temperature.

Tool temperature

Tool temperatures (both for cabled and battery tools) are monitored continuously by the POWER FOCUS 8. Supported temperature units are degrees Celsius (°C) and degrees Fahrenheit (°F), with Celsius as the default unit. When the tool motor temperature or tool electronics temperature exceeds max temperature, the tool is locked and an alert (2014) is shown. The tool is once again unlocked when the tool temperature drops below the temperature limit.

Tool temperature is not available for the STwrench.

Monitoring Tool Temperature

Using the tool's display or through the web interface, access the latest tool electronics and tool motor temperatures measured together with the timestamp when the measurement was taken.

  1. On the home view, go to the Tool tab.

  2. Both tool electronics temperature and tool motor temperature are listed under the Health left pane.
    For pulse tools, the Tool pulse unit temperature is also listed.

  3. Select the Peak Temperature view to see a list of the highest temperature peaks for the component.

  4. Select the Real time temperature view to continuously monitor the temperature of a component.
