This manual describes how to install and upgrade MULTI system. Desoutter should not be held responsible for any injury, accident or damage which may be the consequence of an in- correct installation, modification or start-up, or a use out of the intended use of Desoutter products, by the customer or a third party.
Example of installation with CONNECT-W and 10 M-DRIVE. MULTI system is composed of the following items. MULTI is providing the power supply, the connectivity and the safety devices. The frame is equipped with cord fixtured tools designed by Desoutter. CONNECT is managing the tightening units and all data communications.
Page 6
Each M-POWERBOX must not power more than 6 (six) M-DRIVES CONNECT Both models (CONNECT-W and CONNECT-X) can manage up to 4 MULTI tightening units and 2 wireless tighten- ing units. In MULTI system, CONNECT is managing the M-DRIVE(s) via Ethernet.
Page 7
CVI CONFIG is designed to set your systems point to point or via network with an intuitive and guided interface. From your computer, you can set up Desoutter tightening products, cord tools, cordless tools, WI-FI cordless tools, accessories, peripherals and tightening processes.

Ød D > 10 x Ø d Although our tool cables are designed to work under drastic conditions, we recommend that you check the fol- lowing points for longer service life: a - Any direct pull on the cable should be avoided. b - Friction with the outer sheath should be restricted.
The M-SAFETYBOX must be equipped with a safety system which immediately stops the tools when the emergency system of the workstation is activated. The Emergency stop button and the safety PLC are not considered to be a part of the MULTI system. These sources must be verified by the machine tool builder (MTB).
Plug the supplied M12/open - Emergency stop cable into the M12 connector of the M-SAFETYBOX. Refer to the following view to connect the cable to the safety system. 1 - Reset 2 - Emergency push-button (2 normally closed (NC) contacts) CHANNEL1_P CHANNEL2_P CHANNEL1_M...
Connecting cord fixtured tools Connecting the tool cable to M-DRIVE 1. Locate the tool connector at the bottom of M-DRIVE. Connect the tool cable to the M-DRIVE. 2. Manually guide the cable to ensure a correct bending of the cable. See Read before installing tool cables [Page 23] Do not block the airflow (blue area on the schema below) on top and bottom of M-DRIVE Connecting the ground wire to the tools mounting plate For safety reasons, electrical bounding must be ensured between the M-POWERBOX and the tools.
Page 28
M-POWERBOX bottom panel Mounting plate where tools are clamped Connect the ground wire to the M8 screw located at the bottom of the M-POWERBOX. Use the recommended electrical contact TE 323167. Place the toothed lock washer and tighten the screw at 15 Nm. Repeat the procedure to connect the ground wire to the mounting plate.
