Product Safety Information

A Qualifier is not a torque control or measurement device. Connections requiring specific torque must be checked with a torque meter
after fitting. Improperly torqued fasteners may loosen and cause injury.
For Additional information refer to Product Safety Information Manual Form 45498300.
Manuals can be downloaded from www.irtools.com.

Basics of Operation

The QC Process Qualifier is designed to assist in error-proofing and batch counting for the installation of threaded fasteners. The QC Qualifier is
an error proofing system and does not provide torque control or torque monitoring. Torque accuracy is dependent upon the capability of the
selected pneumatic tool for the application.
The QC Qualifier comes in two versions: QC100 and QC200.
The QC100 is used with non shut-off tools like the new line of Q Series Pulse tools from Ingersoll Rand. The QC100 can be used with a QXLH
air hose with indicator light to signal the operator when to stop by releasing the throttle. This qualifier can also be used with a solenoid valve to
shut-off the air when the cycle is complete, thus providing shut-off control with a non shut-off tool.
The QC200 is used for error proofing with shut-off tools like Ingersoll Rand's Power Pulse Plus shut-off tools or QA Series shut-off Nutrunners.
Torque accuracy is dependent upon the capability of the selected pneumatic tool for the application.

Tool Compatibility
The QC Qualifier can be used with a wide variety of pneumatic power tools:
QC100
- 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" Anvil Impact Wrenches
- Non Shut-off Pulse Tools
All torque controlled shut-off tools must use a venting throttle design to provide for throttle valve reset. When using these types of tools, the
QC200 learns the flow signal that includes the venting signal from this throttle reset vent. Once the tool shuts off, the signal is "seen" and the
QC200 will respond. The QC100 allows use with non shut-off pulse tools and even impacts. When using these tools, the system will respond to
a learned fastening cycle and indicate to the operator when it is OK to release the throttle.
Qualifier may not function with tools actuated by a trigger / lever permit or push-to-start mechanism.
For a full list of compatible Ingersoll Rand tools, please see the Product Information Manual Form 45499555.

System Setup

1. Provide clean dry air @ 90 PSI (recommended) with filter and
lubricator. Pressure should be regulated 5 -10 PSI lower than MAX
air available to eliminate any potential noise caused by supply line
fluctuations.
2. If using a QXLH indicatior, plug the QXLH cable into the RSM by
removing the top cover plate and inserting the cable into the
appropriate receptacle.
3. Use a 3/8" (9.5 mm) ID hose with full flow fittings with most pulse
tools. Use a 1/4" (6.35mm) hose and fittings with small pulse tools
and screwdrivers. The maximum hose length recommended from
the RSM to the tool is 30' or 9 m.
4. I/O terminal strip with screw lug terminals.
5. Connect the cable to the RSM and to the QC Qualifier as shown
with Ethernet Cables. The RSM cover needs to be removed to
make the connection. Standard cable is 15' (4.5 Meters).

WARNING
The QC Qualifier takes a series of mass air flow measurements and
turns the data into a rundown signature to detect OK vs. NOK
fastening cycles.
The diagram shows a typical fastening cycle for a pulse or impact tool.
The air consumption of a pulse tool air motor during a "run cycle" is
related to the work being performed as well as to the speed of the
tool. In Zone 1, the tool is starting and the level of flow will indicate if
the fastener is cross-threaded or free spinning. Zone 2 is "free speed"
and is the zone showing the free run-down of the bolt. Zone 3 begins
when the fastener has seated and reached "snug torque" and ends
with Zone 4, the final pulse tightening phase. Near the end of Zone 4,
equilibrium has been attained and the tool can be shut-off with good
torque accuracy.
