When Tube Nut 1 is selected, the spindle operates in tube nut reverse when the momentary position of the
switch is activated. No trigger press is necessary to operate the spindle in tube nut reverse in this mode. When the
momentary switch is released, the spindle stops, and it is then ready for forward operation.
When Tube Nut 2 is selected, tube nut reverse requires the activation of both the momentary switch and the
trigger. In other words, this mode requires 2-handed operation by the user. If the trigger is released and the
momentary switch is not released, the spindle remains ready to operate in tube nut reverse with the press of the
trigger. If the momentary switch is released but the trigger is not, the spindle remains stopped until the trigger
is also pressed. When both the momentary switch and the trigger are released, the spindle returns to forward
operation and is ready to accept a trigger press for running forward.
When Gang Advance is selected and momentary position of the switch is activated, the gang count is incremented
by 1 for the failed cycle.
When Gang Reset is selected and momentary position of the switch is activated, the gang count is reset 1.
When Cong Reset is selected and momentary position of the switch is activated, the conguration is reset to the
conguration programmed in the engage step of “Reset to”.
When Tube Nut 3 is selected, the spindle operates in tube nut reverse when the momentary position of the switch
is reverse direction and trigger is pulled.
The nal parameter that you can set on this screen is TactAlert. This parameter is set to either Disable or Enable.
When set to Enable, the spindle vibrates at the end of a failed cycle.
To reset the Transducer Range (TR) or Angle Scale Constant (ASC) back to their factory-set values, choose the

3.4.3 Autocal Function
Autocal or Auto calibration allows you to calibrate the Transducer Range (TR) for Insight spindles using an
Ingersoll Rand ETA series external torque transducer. You can set up Autocal by connecting a PC to the controller
through the Ethernet port, and connecting the ETA to the PC via its serial port. The data received from the ETA during a
series of cycles helps to rene the TR value.
3.5 Serial Setup
On the Setup menu’s Serial Settings sub-menu screen, you can select the serial communications parameters assigned
to the serial port. These parameters are set based on the communications requirements of the serial device that is being
connected to the Insight controller.
3.5.1 Protocol
This parameter sets the communications protocol. Use the dropdown list in Protocol parameter to set it to None or
E.O.R. Data Out. Other protocols are available through the ICS software. If one of these protocols is selected then the
dropbox becomes disabled and will display the protocol selected. Only the ICS software can change the protocol once
the dropbox has been disabled.
3.5.2 Baud Rate
This sets the speed of communications for the serial port. Select a Baud Rate from the dropdown list in the range 1,200
to 115,200.
3.5.3 Parity
Select the Parity for the serial connection to None, Odd, or Even from the drop box list.
3.5.4 Bits Per Character
Use the dropdown list to set the Bits Per Character parameter to 7 or 8.
3.5.5 # of Stop Bits
The # of Stop Bits for serial port communications is set to indicate 1 or 2 stop bits with the dropdown list found in this
parameter.
