Installation
Installation of the ASG-CT2500 is very straightforward. Follow these steps to connect your system for
the first time:
Controller Mounting:
The ASG-CT2500 comes standard with a mounting plate for attaching to the wall, workbench, or tool
stand. Secure the controller using the (4) provided holes in the mounting plate. These provided holes
are meant for #6 screws, but can be enlarged to suit user’s needs.
Ensure the controller power cord can reach a properly grounded receptacle without creating a trip
hazard in the work area. The controller should also be mounted within view of the operator, and should
be accessible and within reach for programming and modification.

Run Tool Screen
1. Task Selection: Shows the user the current task, and allows the user to select one of 12
available tasks. Selecting the button with the task name will bring up
the Task Menu where another task may be selected or altered. The
arrow keys will advance to the previous or next task. Settings for bolt
counts, parameters, inputs, outputs, etc will switch with these actions
to the settings of the selected task.
2. Tool Information Button: Displays the Tool Information screen that shows tool characteristics.
3. Final Target: Displays the target value of the active Parameter, either torque or
angle.
4. Torque Reading: Displays the torque seen by the tool during or at the end of the
fastening cycle. This field will color code at the end of a fastening cycle
to denote Pass (green), Fail – High (red), or Fail – Low (yellow) as
defined by high and low limits of the selected Parameter.
5. Angle Reading: Displays the angle seen by the tool during or at the end of the fastening
cycle. This field will color code at the end of a fastening cycle to denote
Pass (green), Fail – High (red), or Fail – Low (yellow) as defined by high
and low limits of the selected Parameter. The field remains unhighlighted when Angle Monitoring is disabled within the Parameter.
6. Inputs: Displays (1) radio button for each of the (8) available inputs. The
appropriate radio button will illuminate blue when the input is active.

Sequences, Inputs, Outputs, and System Settings.
9. Graph Button: Displays the most recent fastening cycle graphically as Torque vs. Time,
Angle vs. Time, Torque vs. Angle, Speed vs. Time, and Power vs. Time.
10. Data Button: Displays a table that contains rundown characteristics for the last 100
fastening cycles. Additional data is available in the internal memory and
can be downloaded to a USB flash drive from this screen as well.
11. Repeat Button: Depressing this button keeps the controller on the current bolt in a
batch. The bolt sequence will not advance to the next bolt until the
button is released.
12. Reset Button: Depressing this button resets the fastening bolt count in the event of a
failure, retry lockout, user request. The reset button also resets any
outputs. This button can be disabled when the controller is locked with
a password.

Setup Screen
Entering the setup screen allows you to modify the settings of each task’s parameters, bolt counts, bolt
sequences, inputs, outputs, reverse settings, and triggering.
Tool Triggering:
On the ‘Setup’ screen, each task can be set up to trigger the tool in the way that best fits that task. The
tool can be set up for remote start, lever start (if tool is equipped with a lever), push to start, lever or
push to start (together), or lever and push to start. To select, just tap the radio button next to the
desired option(s).
For remote start applications, the triggering will have to be configured in the ‘Inputs’ section of the Task
Setup screen. See the Input programming section of this manual for more details.
Bolt Counts:
Setting up the bolt counts for each task can be done through the task setup screen. Under the ‘Number
of Bolts:’ window, tap the underlined number to change the number of bolts to be secured on that task.
This will build what some users call a batch. The controller will display the bolt count on the ‘Run Tool’
screen.
The controller will accept up to 999 bolts per task, but once the bolt count rises above 50, individual
bolts cannot be programmed to different parameters in the ‘Bolt Sequences’ screen.
No matter how many bolts are in the batch, a torque or angle control parameter must be assigned to
a given bolt in order for it to run. See the Parameter Setup and Bolt Sequences sections of this
manual for more information.
