The WrenchStar Multi is a wireless production and quality audit wrench which works with the IQVu or TCI.

There is a variant that works with a cable connected to the IQVu. In this case there is no battery pack or RF.

The power comes from the IQVu and the Torque and Angle data are transmitted as digital signals along the

cable to the IQVu.

The WrenchStar Multi reads the Torque and Angle values in real time and converts them to digital values.

The WrenchStar Multi analyses the digital samples using measurement algorithms to calculate properties of

the fastening such as Peak. The WrenchStar Multi communicates the final fastening readings to an IQVu

using RF giving a range of approximately 10m

. If the WrenchStar Multi loses its link to the IQVu, then it

continues to work offline, storing up to 200 readings. It is very easy to pair, (associate the connection), of a

WrenchStar Multi with a particular IQVu.

The WrenchStar Multi contains its own power source which is a Lithium Ion battery pack.

* The RF range depends on the environment in which the WrenchStar Multi and IQVu are being used and

the figure quoted is for a relatively metal free work space with the IQVu in line of sight of the WrenchStar

The WrenchStar Multi unit has a battery pack that contains a Lithium Ion battery. From fully discharged the

unit will require up to a 4 hour charge to attain maximum capacity.

The full capacity of the battery is 2600mAh which yields approx. 10 hours of normal use.

When a WrenchStar Multi is placed in charging cradle, the charge indicator LED will illuminate with colour

according to the charge status.

WARNINGS

BATTERY WARNINGS

Crane Electronics Ltd

The force in torque management

The wrench can be charged by inserting into the charging cradle.

Note: alternative charging methods may become available in the future.

The WrenchStar Multi will monitor its battery level. If the battery level goes below 10% the status LED will

flash blue. If the status LED starts flashing it is recommended that the readings are immediately finished and

the WrenchStar Multi taken back to the IQVu to upload any remaining readings. The WrenchStar Multi

should be fully charged in a cradle before using. If the level goes to 0% the WrenchStar Multi will switch

OFF.

Charger voltage is 5V.

The WrenchStar Multi button has several functions:

•When the WrenchStar Multi is OFF pressing the button for less than 1s will turn the WrenchStar

Multi ON.

•When the WrenchStar Multi is ON and the button is pressed for approx. 2s the WrenchStar Multi will

go into pairing mode and the status LED will change to purple.

•If the WrenchStar Multi is in pairing mode pressing the button will take the WrenchStar Multi back to

normal RF mode and the status LED will change to blue.

•If the WrenchStar Multi is ON and the button is held for more than 5s then the WrenchStar Multi will

switch OFF.

The WrenchStar Multi will switch OFF after 10 minutes of no activity. It can be turned back ON with a press

of the button. No activity means no torque messages from the IQVu and no torque pulled.
