POWER: 600W DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY KOLVER S.r.l. declares that the new tool here described: control units model KDU-1, KDU-1A are in conformity with the following standards and other normative documents: 2006/42/CE, LVD 2014/35/UE, EMCD 2014/30/UE, EN 62841-2-2:2014, EN 62841-1: 2015, EN 60204-1, EN 61000-6-2, EN 61000-6-4.
MODELS: K-DUCER power supply and control units are available in two versions: Code Model Features 035001 KDU-1 as KDU-1 + RJ4 connector 035001/A KDU-1A Modbus TCP (slave) communication protocol straight, pistol They also control the torque of any KDS electric screwdrivers with transducer, available and fixture configuration.
IMPORTANT: K-DUCER is a highly accurate unit but it is critically important to select the correct options to ensure that proper torque is being applied. Read the menu description carefully and in case you are unsure please contact Kolver for support information. INSTALLATION: Installation of KDU unit: KDU control unit is supplied with a bracket.
On the back panel, there are four female threaded pivots 8 mm depth to be used to fix the bracket. KDU unit is supplied with four M4x8 screws to help the plate to be fixed to the unit or to any other Kolver supports.

NB: It’s possible to enter the menu even without any screwdriver connected. 1- To enter the menu Instead if the screwdriver is connected, it will be recognized by the unit and the "CONNECTED SCREWDRIVER" screen will appear for a few seconds, also showing the model and serial number.
At this point select a different program by clicking on the "Access to the menu" button or modify the parameter out of range. The error messages can be the following: TorqueTargOverMax Target torque higher than the allowed limit for the screwdriver. SpeedTargOverMax Target speed higher than the limit allowed for the screwdriver.

MAIN MENU: To return to run screen. Displayed page bar. PROGRAMS: to enter the programming menu relative to the parameters of each single program. GENERAL SETTING: to enter the programming menu relative to all the parameters of all the programs. USB: to enter the Menu to manage reading/writing on USB key.
MENU PROGRAMS: 1- To return to the previous menu. 2- To return to the previous program. 3- Program in progress. If pressed to enter the desired program number through the numeric keypad. 4- To move to the following program. 5- TORQUE & ANGLE: Access to the menu where the torque and angle functions can be set. In the same line, the set values of the main parameters can be seen in small format.
MENU TORQUE & ANGLE: TORQUE CONTROL 1- TORQUE CONTROL flag: it allows to select the mode of Torque Control and Angle monitoring. In this mode, priority is given to the torque. The angle can be monitored by the lever pressed (or by remote), by a certain set torque threshold, or by an external input (see point 9).
6- Downshift screwdriver function. If OFF, the screwdriver will turn at the pre-set final speed (see point 14). If ON, the operator can select a speed different from the final one and manage through a torque threshold. Selecting the downshift function, the RPM (see point 7) and AT (see point 8) functions will be activated.

To move from one tab to another (Torque and Angle, Ramps and Time, Reverse and Pre-Reverse and Other), it is sufficient to press on the desired tab. Each parameter is the same as the KDS unit with the same characteristics. To change it, simply enter the cell, select a number in the correct range, then press Enter. Or you can press the keyboard and type the desired value.
