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 6 Crane Electronics Ltd The force in torque management Multi. SPECIFICATIONS Physical Measurement: Bi-directional torque and angle, and pulse count Measurement Modes: Peak Capture of highest torque value during the cycle Move On Capture of move on point torque during auditing of tightened joint. Yield Special measurement algorithm for use with joints being taken into plastic region. The Wrench supplies its Torque Range (span), PPR (for angle), serial number, Calibration due date.

BATTERIES The 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. 8 Crane Electronics Ltd The force in torque management Charge Indicator LED Status Red = Charging Green = Charged Off = no charging WARNINGS Maintain unit with care. Keep unit clean for better and safer performance. Changes or modifications to the WrenchStar Multi not expressly approved by Crane Electronics Ltd could void the users authority to operate the equipment. Always operate WrenchStar Multi with approved battery pack. Always operate, inspect and maintain this unit in accordance with all regulations (local, state, federal and country) that may apply. Do not remove any labels. Always use Personal Protective Equipment appropriate to the tool used and material worked. Keep body stance balanced and firm. Do not overreach when operating with the tool. Anticipate and be alert for sudden changes in motion, reaction torque, or forces during the operation. Ensure work pieces are secure. Use clamps or vices to hold work pieces whenever possible. Never use a damaged or malfunctioning tool or accessory with this unit. Follow instructions for changing accessories. Do not operate this product in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. This unit contains no user serviceable parts. Only qualified service personnel should replace or fit parts. BATTERY WARNINGS Charge the WrenchStar Multi before use. Only charge the WrenchStar Multi in specified cradle. Keep battery pack terminals clean. Always store the battery pack in a dry place. Do not short circuit the battery pack. Do not disassemble the battery pack. Do not expose the battery pack to high temperature. 9 Crane Electronics Ltd The force in torque management CHARGING THE WRENCHSTAR MULTI 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:
WRENCHSTAR MULTI BUTTON 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. 10 Crane Electronics Ltd The force in torque management During switch ON if press blue button 3 x in quick succession it will go into Diagnostic Mode:-

To turn ON press Blue Button. LIGHT RING During and after fastening the light ring will indicate the primary parameter status, which will be torque except for Peak Angle Control, in which case it will be angle. Amber = LO Green = OK Red = HI If the secondary parameter goes HI then light ring will go Red regardless of state of the primary parameter. If MoveOn or Yield are not detected and torque was LO or OK then will get amber flash sequence
(dash dot dot), otherwise if torque was HI then will get red flash sequence (dash dot dot). The light ring will start indicating the status as soon as torque goes above threshold. When a new job is received the light ring will cycle twice through sequence amber, green, red to indicate job has been received and loaded. It will do the same when power up and the job is already loaded. When a job is complete the light ring will continuously cycle through sequence amber, green, red until data is completely removed. ID HEADS / ADAPTER LENGTH COMPENSATION The WrenchStar Multi will work with the Crane 1-Touch ID Head recognition system, the Crane 1-
Touch system allows the wrench to compensate for special head designs that do not use the standard insert head dimensions. The Crane 1-Touch Heads can be programmed with an ID from 1 through to 126, if there is no ID then the WrenchStar Multi will not use the ID system and treat the head as a standard insert head, with a critical compensation length of Zero. The 1-Touch ID heads can be programmed with a compensation length, these lengths can be from 0 to 200 mm. When the wrench recognises that there is an ID Head present, it will automatically compensate the torque by the critical length programmed into the head. The 1-Touch ID Heads can be programmed up to 4 times, therefore if the compensation value needs to be updated, this can be done up to 3 times. This programming is done by Crane Electronics. Below is a diagram of how to calculate the critical length for an ID Head. 12 Crane Electronics Ltd The force in torque management Battery Charge Status:

At the end of a measurement, until the next measurement starts, the WrenchStar Multi will display the primary measurement status for that joint. In the case of a MoveOn or Yield not being found the Light Ring will flash (long flash followed by 2 short flashes) amber if the torque reading remains below the USL and flash red if the final torque reading is above the USL. The WrenchStar Multi is constantly being polled by the IQVu for readings (every 0.5s). If the WrenchStar Multi goes out of range it can continue to take readings, which it will store. Once the WrenchStar Multi is in range of IQVu, the readings will be polled out of the WrenchStar Multi, oldest first. If the WrenchStar Multi completes the subgroup of the job it will flash amber, green then red twice. When this happens you should take the WrenchStar Multi back to the IQVu so any remaining readings can be uploaded. If required, you can then download the next subgroup.

The readings will have their status colour coded as usual. The reading count will show how many readings have been retrieved.
