1.4 System requirements
To ensure the most effective and extended use of all equipment, adhere to the following
specifications:
• Tool Installation
Tools can generate a large amount of torque during operation, and the reaction force is
applied to the Operator or mounting area of the tool. Therefore, tools must be installed
in the proper positions and with adequate reaction devices. Tools MUST be mounted
either using there supplied mounting plate or clamped only in designated areas of the
tool or tool damage may result.
Keep in mind that the fastening tool is a strain gage based instrument and, although it
has been designed to withstand sudden shock, repeated shock (over time) could
damage some components. Therefore, support devices must be used whenever
practical to ease in handling and operation of the Fastening Tool.
• Fastening Operation
Avoid fastening beyond the full scale torque. Do not use a duty cycle (the ratio of the
tool “On” time to Tool “Off” time) higher than 50%, even when the torque is below the
full scale value.
• Cable Wiring
• Use the specified cables for all System connections.
• Completely lock the tool cable twist lock connectors.
• PLC I/O cables must be run separate from any high voltage power sources or cabling, and
must not exceed 50 feet in length.
• Control Equipment Installation Environment
• Controller units must be located a minimum of 600 mm from high transient voltage sources
such as transformers, motor starters, AC inverters and AC contactors. If it cannot be
avoided, the units must be properly shielded.
Do not use at the following locations.
• Areas under direct sunlight.
• Areas where the environmental temperature is out of the 32 °~122°F range.
• Areas where the relative humidity is below the 20% range.
• Areas where the relative humidity is above the 90% range.
• Areas where the temperature changes quickly, which may cause moisture.
• Areas where conductive powder, oil mist, saline, or organic solvents exist.
• Areas that have corrosive or combustible gases.
• Areas that have strong electric or magnetic fields.
• Areas where a strong vibration or shock could be transmitted directly to a Controller unit or
tool.
• Static Electricity
FUSION System construction incorporates electronic Surface Mounted Devices (SMD).
It is advisable to strictly adhere to practices for safe electrostatic discharge in order to
prevent damage to the System when handling the units.
