Unit Overview
The EYFR04 is equipped with a color LCD display, four soft keys
immediately below the LCD, a numeric keypad with decimal point,
navigation keys, and enter and escape buttons. The current function of
the soft keys is indicated at the bottom of the LCD above the button.
The left side of the EYFR04 has two RJ-45 Ethernet ports to allow it to
be used in a chain network configuration.
The USB-A connector is used to provide firmware updates via a
standard USB drive.
The RS232 DSUB9 connector can be used with a serial bar code
reader.
The beeper provides an audio indication for any combination of
accepts, rejects, and batch completions. The beeper volume can be
adjusted through the user interface. (See the Qualifier Settings section
in the next chapter.)
The power plug accepts 100-240 VAC at 50-60 Hz.
The right side of the EYFR04-A has a 24-pin discrete I/O connector.
This connector is not available on the EYFR04-B model.

Concepts
Interfaces
The EYFR04 has 4 interfaces. Interfaces within the EYFR04 work almost like having 4 logical
qualifiers inside the single physical qualifier. Some settings, such as IP Address and beeper
settings, are shared between the interfaces. Each interface has its own parameters and jobs as
well as its own tightening log and can be controlled separately by a plant control system.
Tools
The EYFR04 works with up to 16 Panasonic battery tools at a time. To use a tool with the
qualifier, you must first “learn” the tool to the qualifier. The process to do this is described in
the Quick Start.
Tools are not activated directly by the unit. Instead, they are activated when a parameter that
uses the tool is running. Tools are automatically used by the parameter of the same number
(Parameter 1 always uses Tool 1, Parameter 2 always uses Tool 2, etc.). A tool may additionally
be used by any number of Parameters 17-100 but may not be assigned to any Parameter 1-16
other than the matching parameter to which it is automatically assigned.
The EYFR04 can store some information about when calibration or preventative maintenance
should occur. These are set up in the Tool Configuration screen, which is described in the next
chapter.
For tools with the appropriate firmware and setup, the unit will use the enable/disable or antitheft feature to only allow the tool to run when a parameter that uses it is active.
Parameters
Parameters are the basic unit of operation for the EYFR04. A parameter contains a tool to run
and some settings to use with it, such as the batch size. The EYFR04 supports 40 parameters per
interface. Each parameter must be associated with one of the tools learned to the unit before it
can be run. Parameters 1-16 in each interface will always be associated with the tool of the same
number, and the other parameters may be used to operate a tool with different settings. Because
a tool is only assigned to a single interface at a time, this means that only one interface at a time,
the one to which the tool is assigned, can select a parameter that is locked to a given tool.
Jobs
Jobs are the top level of operation in the EYFR04, made up of multiple parameters that must all
run together in a sequence. The EYFR04 supports 20 jobs per interface with up to 30 steps each.
A job will only use parameters belonging to the same interface as the job. A job may have
multiple parameters that use the same tool or even the same parameter multiple times. When
defining a job, you may override the batch count for parameter steps in the job.

Run Screen
The Run screen shows which parameters the unit is currently running.
Figure 1: Run Screen
Tightening Notifications
Every time a tightening is received from a running tool, the background of the area of the screen
showing the current parameter and batch count for the tool will be shaded with a color indicating
the status of the tightening.
Red – A rejected tightening occurred.
Green – An accepted tightening occurred that did not complete a batch.
Blue – An accepted tightening occurred that completed a batch. If the qualifier NOKs setting
is set to Count, this further indicates that no rejected tightenings were counted towards this
batch.
Yellow – An accepted or rejected tightening occurred that completed a batch. This color will
only occur when the qualifier NOKs setting is set to Count and one or more rejected
tightenings were counted towards the current batch.
Tool Status Codes
The tool status indicator for each active parameter shows the status of the tool for the parameter.
When the tool is ready to run, the indicator should be green with no number. If the tool is not
ready to run or a warning or error condition occurs, the indicator will change to yellow for a
warning or red for an error and display a code to indicate the tool condition. The possible codes
are:

Unit Radio Status Indicator
The unit radio status indicator shows the status of the radio in the unit. In normal use, the
indicator should be green with no number. If the radio is not working correctly, the indicator
will be red with an error code.
Network Status Indicator
The network status indicator shows the status of the Ethernet ports on the unit. When the
Ethernet is used, the indicator will be green and show the number of currently active network
connections. If no Ethernet cable is plugged into either port, the indicator will be yellow. If the
network initialization fails, the indicator will be red and show an error code. The Network Status
screen shows more detailed information.

The average signal strength is for all tools learned to the unit and should be from 0 to -70 dBm.
If the signal strength is weaker, the unit may have frequent slow or failed communication. To
improve the signal strength, try bringing the unit and tools closer together, changing the XBEE
channel, or reducing sources of interference from the environment.
Last barcode shows the command number of the last bar code scanned (see Chapter 4: ) or an
error if the last attempt bar code could not be processed. Interface 1-4 VIN show what will be
included with tightenings for each interface.
Network Status
Figure 5: Network Status screen
The network status screen shows the current Ethernet status
of the unit. The MAC address is assigned by the factory
and cannot be changed. The IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway may be edited from the Network Settings General screen or assigned via DHCP.
The Ethernet 1 and 2 lines indicate if a physical cable
connection is detected on the corresponding Ethernet ports
of the unit. If no connection on a port is detected, the unit
will show “Not connected”. If a connection is detected, the
baud rate and duplex of the connection will be listed.
The rest of the screen shows some basic information about the active Ethernet connections. For
each connection, this page shows the source address, time of the last packet on the connection,
which interface the connection is to, and some protocol specific information, such as last MID
received or which EtherNet/IPTM connection points are being used.

The Tool Status screen shows the status of the tools learned into the unit. This screen shows the
signal strength of the last packet from the tool but can also show the radio address of the tools.
For signal strength, a less negative number indicates a better signal (-50 dBm is better than -60
dBM). The screen shows a color based on the quality of the signal.
Green – The signal from this radio is strong and will work at best performance.
Yellow – The signal from the radio is weaker than recommended for best performance. The
radio should work but may have slower or occasionally interrupted communication with the
unit.
Red – The signal from the radio is weaker than recommended for any use. The radio may
successfully transmit some results but will frequently have slow or failed communication
with the unit. If only one tool is red, bring it and unit closer together. If multiple tools are
red, consider using a different radio channel (changed from the Qualifier Settings screen).

Introduction
All of the features of the EYFR04 can be configured directly on the unit, except the I/O and
remote device configuration. The configuration, along with parameter and job selection is
available from the unit menu. The menu is available from the Run screen by pressing soft key 4
or ENT.
The navigation keys are used primarily to move from entry to entry on a screen. The numeric
keypad is used for any data entry and occasionally to assist in navigation. When describing the
soft keys for a screen, [ENT] or [ESC] will be listed next to the a key if the ENT or ESC buttons
perform the same operation. The ESC key is generally used to cancel changes or exit a screen
without performing an action.
Saving Configuration Changes
Configuration editing screens will always have Save as soft key 3 and Cancel as soft key 4. You
may also press ESC for Cancel. If you enter a screen and have not made any changes or do not
want to save the changes you have made, press Cancel. To commit changes, press Save. Even
if you have not made any changes, saving will update the last modified time for the item.
Entering letters
The unit has a special screen that allows using the numeric
keypad to enter letters for fields that allow them, such as a
parameter name. To get to this screen, press [ENT] when
the cursor is on a row with such a field. Lowercase letters
cannot be entered from the unit but can be entered through
the PC software application.
The left side of this screen shows the letters associated with
each number. Pressing a number repeatedly will cycle
through the letters associated with the number followed by
the number itself. Pressing a different number will commit
the character to the new value and add the first letter
associated with the new number pressed. Pressing the left arrow will remove the last entered
character. Pressing the up arrow will toggle between entering letters and numbers or just
numbers.
Pressing the right arrow will commit the current character and move to the next position. You do
not have to use the right arrow for every letter. However, there are two situations when you must
use the right arrow. The first is to enter a blank space, which is accomplished by pressing the
right arrow twice in a row. The second is to enter a name with two letters in a row associated
with the same number. For example, to enter “Tool 1”, you would need to press the following
sequence of keys:
Key

(Since neither 1 nor 0 have associated letters, pressing them will only enter the number.)
Once you have entered the desired name, press Save or ENT. This does not permanently save
the value just entered. You must also save from the screen that sent you to the letter screen. If
you no longer want to change the value, press Cancel or ESC. At this point, the unit will return
to the previous screen without changing the value.
Main Menu
Figure 10: Main Menu
The EYFR04 menu provides the entry point to configure and control the unit. You must enter
the box password before entering the menu from the Run screen. If you cannot remember the
password, you may reset it to the factory default (1011) by entering the sequence “6853.48” on
the Run screen. Use the arrow keys to navigate to the desired entry and press ENT to go to the
entry’s screen. To exit the menu, press ESC or navigate to Lock & Exit or Exit and press ENT.
Pressing ESC or Lock & Exit will “lock” the menu and return to the Run screen, requiring the
password to be reentered before the menu can be accessed again. Pressing Exit will return to the
Run screen without locking the unit, allowing the menu to be reentered without entering the
password.

Interface
Range: 1 to 4
This field indicates which interface will use the tool. A tool can only be used by parameters or
jobs that belong to the same interface as the one to which the tool is assigned.
Accept Input/Reject Input
These fields indicate which inputs were defined as the inputs for the tool. An input tool must
have an Accept Input to be used but may be used without a Reject Input. See the chapter on
Discrete I/O for more information about how these are configured.
These fields are only listed for input tools and cannot be edited.
Forgetting Tools
Each tool can only be associated with a single qualifier at a time, but learning a tool to another
qualifier does not automatically remove it from the previous qualifier. If you have moved or are
EYFR04 User Manual 23 of 76 v4.0
Chapter 3: Configuring the unit 21 July 2017
planning to move a tool from one EYFR04 to another, you should have the qualifier “forget” the
tool. To do so, press Forget on the Tool Configuration screen to remove the tool from the
qualifier. This will cause the qualifier to no longer respond to the tool and will make any
parameters using the tool and any groups or jobs using those parameters invalid.

parameter is defined when a tool number is assigned to it.
A defined parameter will become unselectable in a few circumstances:
The assigned tool number is an empty tool slot, because either no tool was ever learned
or the previous tool was forgotten
The assigned tool is assigned to another interface
The parameter configuration is invalid
Because parameters 1-16 are locked to tools 1-16 respectively, they will be blank if the
associated tool slot is empty and yellow if the tool slot is occupied, but the tool is assigned to
another interface.
