Glossary

Abort Timer The tightening cycle aborts if the tool does not shutoff on target before this pre-
selected time.
Acceleration The rate at which the controller increases tool speed from 0 (stopped) to the Speed
value.
Accept Tone Controls the tone made from the handle of handheld QPM tools for accepted
tightening cycles. Allows distinct tones for tools in adjacent workstations.
ATC Adaptive Tightening Control allows a consistent achieved torque to be maintained
over a wide range of joints. Manual downshift should be used when:
• High Prevailing Torques – Prevailing Torque > 20% of the Torque Set Point
(TSP).
• High Starting Torque –Starting Torque > 20% of TSP.
Batch Count The number of OK tightening cycles to complete a job. The Run display shows the
accumulated and target counts for the selected job.
Downshift Mode Disable: no downshift; Manual: Occurs at specified torque; ATC automatically
adapts to the joint.
Downshift Speed Once the tool reaches the Downshift Torque point, the controller changes the
operating speed of the tool from the initial tool Speed to the Downshift Speed.
Downshift Torque The controller changes the operating speed of the tool from the initial Tool Speed
to the Downshift Speed at the Downshift Torque level.
High Angle Anytime the peak angle recorded exceeds the High Angle, the tightening cycle is
recorded as a reject for high angle, the red light illuminates and the tightening
cycle is given an overall status of NOK.
High Torque Anytime the peak torque recorded exceeds the High Torque, the tightening cycle is
recorded as a reject for high torque, the red light illuminates and the tightening
cycle is given an overall status of NOK.
Low Angle Anytime the peak angle recorded during the Angle Audit Step fails to reach the
Low Angle, the tightening cycle is recorded as a reject for low angle, the yellow
light illuminates and the tightening cycle is given an overall status of NOK.
Low Torque When the peak torque recorded fails to reach the Low Torque, the tightening cycle
is recorded as a reject for low torque, the yellow light illuminates and the
tightening cycle is given an overall status of NOK.
MFB Mode Controls the operation of the multiple-function button (MFB) on QPM tools.
The choices for handheld tools are Disable, Reverse (Disassembly), Parameter
Select, Arming and Reset Reject. The default value is Reverse.
PM Counter Records the number of tightening cycles completed since the last time it was reset
for Planned Maintenance.
PM Limit When the PM Counter exceeds the PM Limit, the controller provides a
maintenance alert.
Parameter Set A Parameter Set is a collection of instructions that define how the tool should
perform the tightening process. It may be selected from the keypad or 24V device
such as a socket tray.
Reject Tone Controls the tone made from the handle of handheld QPM tools for rejected
tightening cycles. Allows distinct tones for tools in adjacent workstations.
Slow Seek Slow Seek helps engage the socket or fastener at a pre-selected speed, torque level
and angular rotation. Once engaged, the tightening cycle completes at a higher
speed. Slow Seek prevents cross-threaded fasteners and previously secured
fasteners from being counted in a batch.
Snug Torque The controller begins to monitor the tool output for angle at this torque. Any
