# Operation

# Ergonomic Guidelines

Consider your workstation as you read through this list of general ergonomic guidelines to identify areas for improvement in posture, component placement, or work environment.

- Take frequent breaks and change work positions frequently.

- Adapt the workstation area to your needs and the work task.

  - Adjust for a convenient reach range by determining where parts and tools need to be located to avoid static load.

  - Use workstation equipment such as tables and chairs appropriate for the work task.

- Avoid work positions above shoulder level or with static holding during assembly operations.

  - When working above shoulder level, reduce the load on the static muscles by lowering the weight of the tool, using for example torque arms, hose reels or weight balancers. You can also reduce the load on the static muscles by holding the tool close to the body.

  - Take frequent breaks.

  - Avoid extreme arm or wrist postures, particularly during operations requiring a degree of force.

- Adjust for a convenient field of vision that requires minimal eye and head movements.

- Use appropriate lighting for the work task.

- Select the appropriate tool for the work task.

- In noisy environments, use ear protection equipment.

- Use high-quality inserted tools and consumables to minimize exposure to excessive levels of vibration.

- Minimize exposure to reaction forces.

  - When cutting:

    A cut-off wheel can get stuck if the cut-off wheel is bent or not guided properly. Use the correct flange for the cut-off wheel and avoid bending the cut-off wheel during operation.

  - When drilling:

    The drill might stall when the drill bit breaks through. Use support handles if the stall torque is high. The safety standard ISO11148 part 3 recommends using a device to absorb a reaction torque above 10 Nm for pistol grip tools and 4 Nm for straight tools.

  - When using direct-driven screwdrivers or nutrunners:

    Reaction forces depend on the tool settings and joint characteristics. Strength and posture determine the amount of reaction force that an operator can tolerate. Adapt the torque setting to the operator's strength and posture and use a torque arm or reaction bar if the torque is too high.

- In dusty environments, use a dust extraction system or wear a mouth protection mask.

# Operating Instructions

# General Instructions

The tool may only be used together with the associated torque reaction bar, which is adapted to the screw joint application concerned.

WARNING

Crushing Hazard

Check the rotational direction of the tool before start! A start in an unexpected rotational direction can cause bodily injury or property damage. Moving parts can crush and cut.

- Make sure that the rotational direction of the tool is correct before starting the tool.

- Keep hands and fingers away from moving parts.

# Tightening

As the tightening torque increases, the reaction force builds up equally. Make sure that the tool is in correct working order and correctly programmed. Unexpected behavior from the tool may result in operator injury.

## Rotation Direction for the Tightening

Check that the tool is in the correct running direction by:

- Turning the reverse ring to the right to set the tightening direction to clockwise (CW).

- Turning the reverse ring to the left to set the tightening direction to counterclockwise (CCW).

# Tool Calibration

For information on calibration of this tool, refer to IxB Software User Guide.

The link refers to the latest version of the software. User guides describing earlier versions of the software are available on ServAid.

# Service

# Preventing ESD Problems

The components inside the product and controller are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. To avoid future malfunction, make sure that service and maintenance is carried out in an ESD approved work environment. The figure below shows an example of an appropriate service work station.

# Transferring Configurations with IAM

The Intelligent Application Module (IAM) has the form factor of an SD card. The card contains all the current network configurations and settings.

In case of a tool failure, the card can be transferred to a new tool and all functionality remains the same. When the card is transferred, the new tool will be updated to the software on the card. It is good practice to make sure the new tool is already running the same software version as the old tool, to minimize the risk of data loss.

Note that the saved results associated with the tool will be lost when the card is transferred to another tool. The MAC-address is associated with the card, not with the tool itself. When transferring a card to a new tool, the tool's MAC-address will therefore be updated.

IAM can not be used for anything but storing the tool configuration data and software. Reformatting the card, as well as manipulating the data on the card through other means than IxB Software or ToolsTalk Service 2, will result in an unusable card.

# Upgrading EHMI Software

The software installed on the EHMI can be updated using a USB storage device.

Upgrade Requirements

- USB storage device

- Cable with female USB type-A on one end, and male Micro-B on the other end (alternatively, a USB device with 2 connectors, male type-A and male micro-B, can also be used)

- Version number of the currently installed EHMI firmware. To view the version number, go to Information in the main menu and select Software version.

Upgrading Procedure

1. In a web browser, go to the Marketing & Support Portal > Software Center > Accessories. Download the updated software (application and/or GUI data) in the category EHMI.

   Some application updates require also the GUI data to be updated. If the version of the GUI data is incorrect an error message will be displayed at restart. The GUI data will never require update as long as the application is not updated.

   Filename | Software type | Description
   --- | --- | ---
   eHMI_STR_x.x.x.fbk | Application software STR EHMI and ITB EHMI | This is usually the only software that needs to be updated for the tool.
   guidata-x.x.x.fbk | GUIDATA | Graphic data for all characters. Usually does not require upgrading.

2. Store the downloaded files on the root of the empty USB storage device.

3. Enter the EHMI update menu, using one of methods described below.

   Method 1

   - Disconnect the battery from the tool and wait for the backup battery to discharge.

   - Press and hold the Select button while attaching the battery again. Continue to hold the Select button until the Update menu is shown.

   Method 2

   - Navigate to the Information menu.

   - Press and hold the Down button, while pressing the Up button twice to enter the hidden submenu.

   - In the submenu, navigate to Reset, and press and hold the Select button until the Update menu is shown.

4. Using a 5 mm Allen key, remove the lid covering the USB port on the EHMI. Connect the USB storage device to the EHMI USB port.

5. Using the Up- and Down buttons, navigate to the update file, and press the Select button to start the update process.
