The Start request switch defines the action when communication between tool and controller is lost.

Start request enables the requirement of having a connection between the tool and the controller, for all battery tools. This to make sure that the tool is always up to date with tightening program or batch settings, and with other settings on the controller, when performing tightenings.

When Start request is set to On, the tool becomes locked if the controller connection is lost. This means that if the tool loses connection in the middle of a tightening or a batch sequence, the tool will finish the ongoing tightening and then stop. The tool will be locked until the connection is re-established.

Start request

Description

On

The current Tightening program is finished and subsequent tightenings are stopped when the connection is lost between the controller and the tool.

Off

Current Tightening program or Batch can be finished even if the connection is lost between controller and tool.

The TAG number is the RFID TAG which is used to identify the end-fitting tool in the STwrench. The following options are available:

Lock tool on memory full gives the tool the possibility to perform tightenings even when the tool memory is full. This means that the tightenings performed when the tool memory is full will never be reported to the controller.

Lock tool on memory full

Description
