EDU1AE/TOP and PLUTO deliver all the advantages of precision torque control electric tools at a fraction
of the price of transducerized tools.
The state-of-the-art electronic control circuit cuts the power supply to the motor calculating the correct
torque in response to 3 parameters; voltage, frequency and current, according to the selected options.

IMPORTANT: EDU1AE/TOP controller is a highly accurate unit but it is critically important to
select the correct options to ensure that proper torque is being applied. Read the menu description
carefully and in case you are unsure please contact Kolver for support information.

Here are a few advantages of EDU1AE/TOP:

• One controller only for a torque range from 2 to 15 Nm. For lower torque values, we offer the

EDU1AE/LTP/TOP.

• User interface screens: walk through a few simple steps to input the parameters requested for your

application and your fastening process can begin.

• 8 independent programs: with one PLUTO screwdriver you can replace 8 conventional

screwdrivers.

• Each program can accept the following settings: Torque, Speed, Type of Joint, Number of Screws

to be tightened, Number of Rejects allowed, Minimum screwing time, Maximum screwing time,
Ramp time, Auto reverse, Auto switch to the next program with any sequence, Allow or Prevent
reverse option.

• Password protected.

• Statistics menu with summary of work done: at the end of the day you'll know how many cycles

have been performed correctly, how many wrongly, total number of screws etc.

• 15 input and 11 output connectors: you can control all functions from PLC.

• Options include Socket tray or Switch box: maximum flexibility. USB port.

• Large 135 x 40mm blue display: easy to read from any angle.

Turn the unit on through the on/off switch on the back panel. The unit will perform a general system check
then will show the first screen. Push MENU button for 1 second and display the main screen indicating the
Program (1 to 8), the Torque Level, the Joint type (Hard or Soft), the Screws Done and Set and the Rejected
Screws.

The five upper fields indicate the setting of the unit.

PR_ cycle: it indicates the Program you are in, it goes from 1 to 8 or EXT.
% Torque: it indicates the pre-set torque as a percentage.
Soft/Hard Joint: it indicates the pre-set joint.
Screws Done/Set: it indicates the screws done on the pre-set screws.
Reject: it indicates the rejected screws.

The five lower fields represent:

ScrOK Correct screwing done between min and max time.
ScrNOK Incorrect screwing done under min time or over max time.
CycleOK Cycle done well not exceeding the pre-set reject screws.
CycleNOK Incorrect cycle where in one or more screws the pre-set rejected screws have been gone over.
END End of cycle or of sequence.

MENU :

To enter the password and to move through the menu, use only the encoder knob in the front panel of the
unit: to move through the fields, just turn it; to enter a field to modify the value it must be pushed and turned
until you reach the desired value. To save the value, push it again.
To go back push ESC and to go out push ESC again.
Values are saved automatically moving through a screen to another or returning to the first screen.

PROGRAMMING THE UNIT
To enter the programmable menu push the MENU button for 5 seconds. At the first starting (and every time
after the unit has been switched off) the unit will ask for a password.

To enter/ modify the PASSWORD :

Push the MENU button for 5 secs. Push the encoder knob and enter the four numbers of the password
(default password is: 1111). Once entered the password, turn the encoder to ENTER, push it and the unit
will show the first screen.
To modify the password: digit the old password, enter CHANGE PWD, enter the new one and save it
pushing the encoder.

Once entered, to move through the 4 programming screens just push the MENU button. These screens are:
Setup Screwdriver, Setup Cycle, Setup Print and Statistics.

First screen:

Here you can modify the screwdriver parameters: Program nr., Screwdriver Model, Torque, Joint, Brake
Time (only HARD JOINT), Ramp Time, Speed and Reverse Time after the torque is reached.
To change any parameters: turn the encoder knob, select the parameter, push it in again. Turn the encoder to
change the value, push it in again thus saving the new value. The new settings have now been saved even if
the screen changes or ESC has been pushed. N.B. Only in this screen it is possible to select and set the
required program.
PR (Program): set from 1 to 8 individual programs. If you set EXT, Programs 1..8 will be selected externally
through the input connector, pins 8 thru 15, on the back panel.
