Always turn off the controller before connecting power
and tool cables, cleaning or removal from operation.
Do not operate the tightening system if the housing,
cable or tool are damaged.
Installation
Use an approved hoist to raise controller to desired
installation location.
Ensure the controller is rigidly mounted and secured
(see Quick Installation Guide).
Organize cables and lines to avoid damage and trip-
ping hazards.
Observe the permitted cable bending radius.
Do not exceed total length of Tool Cable
•
Primary controller
mPro400GCD-P(...) max. 45 m
•
Secondary controller
mPro-400GCD-S(...) max. 30 m
•
When using tool Series 70:
-
Up to 3 m Tool Cable can be used with a
maximum of 25 m Extenstion Cable.
-
Up to 6 m Tool Cable can be used with a
maximum of 20 m Extenstion Cable.
-
Tool cables over 6 m must not be extended.
In the event of a fault, high leakage currents may occur and
cause injuries by electric shock.
Use an approved power cable.
For 115 VAC cables with a larger cross-section, use
Order No. 541683-01.
Prior To Initial Operation
Only operate on a grounded power supply (TN sys-
tem). Operation on an IT system is not permitted.
Ensure a standard-compliant PE connection is in
place.
Prior to initial operation, carry out the protective con-
ductor measurement in accordance with the local reg-
ulations (in Germany, DGUV Regulation 3).
Do not switch on the controller until all connections
have been made correctly.
Danger Due To Dangerous Movements
Insufficient emergency stop facilities can have life-threat-
ening consequences.
Apex Tool Group
The necessity of an emergency stop and its execution
is the responsibility of the user and his risk analysis!
Provide accessible and effective emergency stop facil-
ities. Unlocking the emergency stop device must not
cause an uncontrolled restart of the system!
Before switching on the system, check the emergency
stop devices for function.
Operation
Immediately power off the controller in the event of
unusual noise, heating or vibration from the tool.
Disconnect the power cord and have the tightening
system checked by qualified personnel and repaired if
necessary.
Never pull the power cord to remove from an outlet.
Protect all cables from heat, oil, sharp edges and mov-
ing parts.
Replace damaged cables immediately.
Ensure tool and plug connections between the
controller and tool are clean.
Ensure the workstation and surrounding area are
clean.
Ensure the workstation provides adequate space for
the operation being completed.
When working with a nutrunner, remain alert at all
times. Do not use a nutrunner if you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of carelessness when working with a nutrun-
may contribute to a life threatening situation.

Danger Due To Incorrect Torque Measurement
An undetected NOK tightening may contribute to a life-
threatening situation.
Recalibration (or capability analysis) is essential fol-
lowing incorrect use (crash, mechanical overload...).
For Category A Tightenings (VDI 2862) which are criti-
cal for safety, activate a redundancy measurement
(e.g., current redundancy).
Introduce regular monitoring of measuring equipment
for associated manufacturing equipment.
Only conduct tightening operations with a properly
functioning system. If in doubt, contact Sales & Service
Centers.
Danger Due To Unexpected Start Of The Motor Or An
Expected But Missing Stop
Despite redundant controller parts and monitoring func-
tions, an unexpected start of the machine can occur in very
rare cases. Possible reasons may include, but are not lim-
ited to: Remote control of diagnostic functions, bit dump in
the memory of the controller.
Mechanical hazards such as jars/jolts due to counter
torques; risk of injury due to winding up and seizing can
result from the tool.
