BITS HOLDER FIXED SQUARE DRIVE End-fitting tools / Extensions Use only end-fitting tools supplied by Desoutter (refer to the catalogue). WARNING Crushing Hazard Never install wrong end-fitting tools and/or extensions on the wrench. Wrong end-fitting tools and/or extensions can lead to a sudden mechanical release, which causes severe bodily injury.
Installation Installation Installation Instructions Installing/removing the battery To install the battery in the Q-SHIELD: Unscrew the battery cap placed on the Q-SHIELD handle. Insert the battery into the handle. Reinstall the battery cap. To remove the battery from the Q-SHIELD: Power OFF the Q-SHIELD.

Installation LEDs status POWER ON CHARGING COMPLETE Charging complete Over temperature Blinking Error In case of over temperature: Remove the battery from the battery charger. Unplug the battery charger from the socket. Wait a few minutes. Plug the battery charger into the socket and insert the battery into the battery charger. Verify that the problem is solved.
Operation Operation Configuration Instructions How to connect the tool to CVIMONITOR Power ON the Q-SHIELD. Use the mini USB port of the tool to connect the Q-SHIELD to the USB port of the computer. Launch CVIMONITOR on the computer. For further information, refer to the CVI CONFIG Configuration manual. How to set up Psets and Assembly Processes To create Psets and Assembly Processes and transfer them to the Q-SHIELD, refer to the CVI CONFIG Configura- tion manual.
Operation How to set the Demo mode unit of measurement From the main menu of the Q-SHIELD, select Settings > Demo mode unit. Browse the available unit of measurements and press the ENTER ( ) button on the Q-SHIELD keyboard to confirm the selection.
Operation Starting from the Min. Load value, the Q-SHIELD displays the torque and angle values in real time. Once reached, the peak torque value is frozen on the display. Illustration 3: Torque vs Time Displayed torque Applied torque Minimum load A new cycle starts when the applied torque is released, and then applied again over the Min. Load of the Q-SHIELD (which corresponds to 1% of the Q-SHIELD capacity).
Operation Illustration 4: Torque vs Time Torque can be applied in either the clockwise (positive torque) or counterclockwise (negative torque) direction. By pressing the ENTER ( ) button on the keyboard, the Q-SHIELD runs a torque zero adjustment. The zero adjustment is applied only for the current test; it is not applied as a global zero reference for the Q- SHIELD.
Operation • Press CANCEL ( ) → the Q-SHIELD exits from the test. Running a VDI-VDE 2648 test (Calibration purpose) This feature is protected by password. Please refer to How to enter password [Page 14] section. The Calibration mode is available only for Q-SHIELD used in Disconnected mode. To start the angle calibration according to VDI-VDE 2648 standard, from the main menu of the Q-SHIELD select the Calibration mode >...
Avoid using harsh detergents to clean the Q-SHIELD. Calibration The Q-SHIELD must be calibrated at least once a year. Contact Desoutter Service for calibration. Battery maintenance Keep batteries in a good working order. Avoid fully discharging the battery. During normal use, recharge the battery when it is low. For long term storage (as in the case of spare batteries), cells should be kept within a range of a 30% ±...

Service A manual Zero Adjustment is possible at any time when the wrench is already powered ON, and is highly recom- mended in case of an accidental wrench drop or shock. The Zero Adjustment is also a warranty that Torque and Angle measurements are precise (in case of a NOK - restart the process - if you get a NOK systematically get the wrench to maintenance for a complete inspection and eventual calibration).
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting “Error Zeroing Torque” is displayed on the Q-SHIELD screen at the power ON Cause: Q-SHIELD is powered on with a load applied. Solution: Switch off the Q-SHIELD; then, switch on the Q-SHIELD again, without applying any torque. “Error Zeroing Gyro” is displayed on the Q-SHIELD screen at the power ON Cause: Q-SHIELD has been moved during the power on phase.
Recycling Recycling Environmental Regulations When a product has served its purpose it has to be recycled properly.
