ERROR CODES

The FAS3000 has seven error codes. The function and description of each error code are described below. In the event
of a NOK, the error code will be displayed and the beeper will sound until the operator performs a RESET. If the solenoid
driver is enabled, the solenoid output will source +24VDC until a RESET is performed.
"Screw Pre tightened".
This occurs if the clutch operates immediately within time t0.
Typical causes - Fastener is already tightened or cross threaded. The operator has "blipped" the
trigger/lever.
"Clutch operated too early".
This occurs if the clutch operates before time t1 and indicates the clutch has operated too early.
Typical causes: Screw is too short, has become cross threaded or is too tight. (i.e. Component
characteristics have changed, possible batch related problem), hole is not deep enough, screw too
long in a blind hole.
This problem could also occur if the air supply pressure has increased since the tool was last set
up. Alternatively, if the tool has just been serviced and or torque re-adjusted.
"Clutch operated too late".
This occurs if the clutch operates after time t2. Typical causes: Screw is too long in a through hole,
is too small a diameter, no thread, hole too large. It can also occur if the air supply pressure has
dropped and or the tool is becoming slow. Alternatively, if the tool has just been serviced and or
torque re-adjusted.
"Trigger/lever released too quickly after clutch operated".
This occurs if the trigger/lever is released too quickly after the clutch has operated. The check is
carried out with time t3.
Typical causes: Operator has released the trigger/lever too quickly after the clutch has operated
(But for a greater time then Timer t0).
Operators should be made aware of this feature.
"Trigger released before clutch operates".
This occurs if the trigger/lever is released before time limit t2 and before the clutch has operated.
Typical causes: Operator has released the trigger too early. (i.e. due to high ambient noise, may
sense that the tool has tightened and releases the trigger/lever).
Operators must wait for the Green OK LED to illuminate before releasing the trigger.
Problem with sensors, electrical Signals did not change.
This occurs if there is no change in the trigger/lever or clutch signals at the start of the cycle.
Typical causes: Defective sensor, broken sensor cable, tool requires repair or service.
In extreme cases, could be due to poor air supply to the tool.
When the cycle timer expires, this message will appear on the display until the GROUP is
complete or a GROUP RESET is activated.
