Section 3 – Programming the IC-D
3.1 Setup Menu
The Setup menu and its sub-menus are used to program tightening strategies and to set a broad variety of important
system parameters. Basic tightening strategies are created in the Setup menu. In addition to strategies, you can
use the Setup menu to set many basic system parameters, such as time, display language, measurement units,
and communications protocols. The Setup menu is also used to create passwords for controlling access to Insight’s
software and data records. There are ve dierent sub-menus under the Setup menu: 1. Quick Setup, 2. System
Setup, 3. Spindle Setup, 4. Serial Setup, 5. Ethernet Setup, and 6. PLUS Setup (provided user is using the PLUS
communications protocol). The following sections covers each of these sub-menus in detail.

3.2.2 Quick Setup Programming
This menu screen is used to get you up and running quickly. Single-step torque control and angle control fastening
strategies can be set up from this screen. Only basic fastening parameters are displayed with this screen. If a more
complex, multi-step strategy or other strategies are needed--such as yield or drag torque--they can be programmed
through the ICS software. Only the rst eight Congurations can be viewed and programmed from the controller. The
ICS software allows you set up a maximum of 256 Congurations.
The Quick Setup screen allows you to set key parameters for your tightening strategy. You may pre-program up to
eight separate tightening operations. These are called Congurations. The parameters displayed on the screen vary,
depending upon the fastening strategy selected.
