Units
The following torque units and associated labels are used with STANLEY controllers and tools. The labels are
derived from SP811, SI Unit rules and style conventions from the National Institute of Standards and
Technology.

The controller begins to monitor the tool for angle at a preselected threshold
torque. Any increase in angle after the snug point results in a corresponding
increase in the tension or clamp load within the joint.
Soft stop minimizes the torque impulse to the operator during tool shutoff at the
end of the Fastening cycle.
The speed at which the tool operates during the initial portion of the Fastening
cycle prior to ATC or downshift.
A spindle represents a connection to a hand held or fixtured tool connected to a
controller.
Identifies what variables will be used to control the tool during a Fastening cycle.
Sets assembly direction to clockwise (CW) or counter clockwise (CCW).
Sets the point at which the tool is "In Cycle". When the tool is "In Cycle" the tool
and controller Fastening cycle status lights turn off, the controller displays
dashes (-) for data, and the "In Cycle" output is turned on.
Distinctive sounds assigned to tool functions.
Determines how torque values are assigned to the electrical signals from the
torque transducer on the tool. This value is unique to each tool and changes
over time.
When the tool is being controlled for torque, the torque target instructs the
controller when to shutoff the tool. The torque target should be greater than Low
Torque and less than High Torque, and is required for torque control.
A display plot of torque vs time (or angle) of a Fastening cycle.
Records the number of Fastening cycles completed since the last time it was
reset. It is usually used as a supplementary count of the PM Counter.
