Saving And Loading The Setting Force; Screwing On The Blind Rivet Nut - Gesipa FireBird Pro Operating Instructions Manual

2.4

Saving and loading the setting force

The FireBird Pro (GE) is able to save the set force value to its integrated program memory
®
and to load it again wherever necessary.
Save the numerical values as follows:
• Determine and set the numerical value to be programmed (see section 2.3).
• Holding the S button down for longer than one second (> 1 sec.) calls up the program
memory (initial value P0) in order to save a set numerical value.
• A program memory location from P0 to P9 can be selected by pressing the plus or minus
• button.
• Press the S button again (> 1 sec.) to save the numerical value and show it on the dis-
play once more.
Previously saved numerical values can be called up as follows:
• Pressing the plus and minus buttons are pressed at the same time for more than two
seconds (> 2 sec.) calls up the program memory.
• A previously saved numerical value between P0 and P9 can be selected by pressing the
plus or minus button.
• Holding the S button pressed again (> 1 sec.) loads the selected program and the corres-
ponding numerical value is displayed.
The load or save sequence can be cancelled at any time by pressing the plus and minus
buttons at the same time (> 2 sec.).

Screwing on the blind rivet nut

• Place the blind rivet nut onto threaded mandrel A straight.
• We recommend that the blind rivet nut is screwed on by hand by approx. ½ turn to simp-
lify threading in of threaded mandrel A.
• Start the screw-on sequence by pressing switch I.
• Hold switch I pressed until the screw-on sequence stops automatically. While doing this,
hold the blind rivet nut secure to prevent twisting during the entire screw-on sequence.
The blind rivet nut must be correctly positioned on nosepiece B after the screw-on se-
quence. Otherwise, correct the setting of the threaded mandrel length (see Section 2.2).
Caution: If the switch is released prematurely, the nut will be unscrewed again!
