System-relevant safety
instructions
We do not claim that these safety instructions are com-
plete. It is obligatory to follow national, state and local
safety and connection standards during the installation.
These standards take precedence over the information in
this section.
WARNING! Risk of injury due to electric shock. Contact
with line voltage or 380 VDC.
The controller and nutrunner can conduct
current in the event of a fault. An electric
shock can lead to cardiac arrest, cessation
of breathing, burns, and serious or fatal inju-
ries.
Before connecting power and tool cables,
during changeover, cleaning and taking
out of operation, turn off the controller.
Do not operate the tightening system if
the housing, cable or nutrunner is dam-
aged.
Do not make any modifications to the controller, protec-
tive devices, or accessories without prior written autho-
rization from Apex Tool Group.
Do not attempt to open the controller or components of
the controller. Neither for troubleshooting, nor for other
work on the device. In the event of a fault, any interven-
tion can result in serious injury from electric shock.
Operation with the device open also causes the follow-
ing:
-
An increased amount of emissions: this can cause
interference with other devices.
-
Reduced immunity from interference: the controller
can produce faulty results.
-
The loss of existing warranty claims.
During the installation
Risk of crushing. The controller can fall and crush parts of
the body.
Use a suitable hoist.
Ensure that the controller is fastened sufficiently (see
Quick Installation Guide).
Lay cables and lines so that they are not damaged and
so that no one can trip over them.
In the event of a fault, high leakage currents can occur and
cause injuries by electric shock.
Use the included power cable. Use an appropriate
power cable when making changes.
For 115 VAC cables with a larger cross-section, use
Order No. 541683-01.

Prior to initial operation
Only operate on a grounded power supply (TN system).
Operation on the IT system is not permitted.
Ensure a standard-compliant PE connection.
Prior to initial operation, carry out the protective con-
ductor measurement in accordance with the local regu-
lations (in Germany, DGUV Regulation 3).
Do not switch on the controller until all the connections
have been made correctly (see hardware description).
Danger due to incorrect Torque measurement.
An undetected NOK tightening could have life-threatening
consequences.
Recalibration (or capability analysis) is essential follow-
ing incorrect use (crash, mechanical overload...).
For category A tightenings (VDI 2862) which are critical
for safety, activate a redundancy measurement (e.g.,
current redundancy).
Introduce regular monitoring of measuring equipment
on the machines.
Work only with a perfectly functioning tightening sys-
tem. If in doubt, contact APEX Sales & Service Center.
During operation
Immediately switch off the controller in case of unusual
noise, unusual heating and vibration from the nutrun-
ner. Pull out the power plug and have the tightening
system checked by qualified personnel; have it repaired
if necessary.
Never pull the plug on the cable from the outlet.
Protect the cables from heat, oil, sharp edges or mov-
ing parts.
Replace damaged cables immediately.
Keep the tool and plug connections clean.
Keep the workstation clean.
Ensure that there is enough space at the workstation.
When working with a nutrunner, stay alert, pay attention
to your actions and act sensibly. Do not use the nutrun-
ner if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alco-
hol or medication. A moment of carelessness when
working with the nutrunner can lead to serious personal
injuries.
Use of Secondary controllers in Line Topology:
When shutting off or in case of Secondary controller failure,
the TSNet bus communication is interrupted. This commu-
nication loss to the Primary / Master controller has conse-
quences for the Secondary controllers:
•
No results are returned to the Primary /
Master controller.
•
No more rundowns are started.
•
An in-process rundown is reported with
the error message SA (abort by remov-
ing the start signal) if the TSNet connec-
tion was interrupted during tightening.
