    See also the Power Focus User guide, 9836 3123 01. Radio Frequency Exposure The Serial Port Adapter and the Tensor STB contain a small radio transmitter and receiver. During communication all IRC products receive and transmit radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (microwaves) in the frequency range for the ISM band (2.4GHz).
  • Page 6: System Overview

    System overview System overview Tensor STB is battery powered and communicates with the Power Focus tightening controller system through wireless digital communication built on Industrial Radio Communication (IRC) technology. Figure 1 System overview A Tensor STB system includes the following parts.

    The result from up to 25 tightening can be stored in the STB. 2.2.2 Battery Tensor STB is equipped with a Lithium-Ion battery. Figure 4 Number of tightening The capacity is dependent on the battery type and joint, softer joints gives less tightenings. Figure 4 Number of tightening illustrates the number of tightening between re-charge for different tools and different types of joints (rundown angle in degrees) at the maximum torque for the tool.
