Notes on Battery Powered Tools Sturtevant Richmont does not manufacture battery-powered tools. Some tools of this type will communicate partially with the Global 8 series controllers through either design compatibility from the manufacturer (Panasonic brand, limited range of models) or by third-party modification. Partial support for use with these tools is provided herein, but we have no control over the design and design modifications of the battery tool manufacturers. For battery tools the primary support for the tool programming, adjustment, use and communication is the manufacturer of the...

Name (Common to all components) Each tool associated with the Global 8 has a name assigned to it, regardless of tool type. This assignment is made during programming. The most common approach for assigning a name is to use an abbreviation for the joint the tool will be used on. Tmr Bmp (Applies to PST 1000) This is a specification pertinent to air tools used with the PST 1000. It is a maximum amount of time that the air tool may be run without the operation being treated as an attempt to tighten a fastener. This specification is designed to compensate for accidental tool operation when a fastener...

Thr 1 (Applies to PST 1000) This is a pressure setting applicable to the PST 1000. Below this pressure the PST 1000 will not record and store data; above this pressure data will be recorded and stored. This specification is entered during programming or via Autocal (preferred). Thr 2 (Applies to PST 1000) This is pressure setting applies to the PST 1000. The PST 1000 evaluates air pressure above this setting to be that of a tool in use and tightening a fastener. A tightening that results in air pressure above Thr 1 but below Thr 2 will be ignored. This specification is entered during programming...
