Welcome to Part 1 of the Atlas Copco STanalyzer tutorial series.
In this video we will be going over how to assemble your STanalyzer or STa6000 for the
first time when you receive it.
As you see here we have our STa6000, however the instructions for the STanalyzer are practically
identical.
To begin, let’s gather all of our parts.
First we have our STa6000 along with the hardware and Torx wrench that come in the box.
Next we have our rechargeable Li-ion battery pack, a STa6000 QC RBU along with a set of
nuts and screws, and some more accessories.
Before we get the battery into the unit and power it on, let’s install the RBU or Rapid
Backup Unit.
This memory chip will define which functions are active on your analyzer and provide a
backup for all your test programs.
By removing this RBU from your analyzer and installing it in another you can get an exact
copy of your original analyzer.
Before you handle your RBU it is important that you discharge yourself by touching a
large metallic object and be sure to only lift the RBU from its plastic sides and not
touch the electric contacts.
Step one is to remove the Torx wrench from the plastic bag that came with your analyzer.
Flip over your analyzer and use the wrench to loosen the two Torx screws on the back
plate.
Once finished, pull up the cover and place it to the side.
You will notice that your RBU came with both screws and nuts.
If you are working with a STanalyzer then your unit will have the screw posts already
in the unit and you only need to use the nuts to secure the RBU in place.
For the STa6000 it is the opposite, and we will have to use the screws instead since
the nuts are embedded in the unit.
When you examine your RBU you will notice it has two plastic tabs extruding from its
base.
These tabs must line up with the slots on the PCB in order for the RBU to sit flush.
As you can see this RBU will only fit into the top right slot, and only in one orientation.
The other two slots below are for an IRC-B or IRC-W radio module which allows for wireless
communication through Bluetooth or Wifi.
The top left position which has the window is where you would install the barcode module.
Carefully line up your RBU and place it down on the electrical contacts.
Do not press down on the RBU, it will not click into position.
For the STanalyzer you will have to thread the screw posts through the holes.
Once you are confident the RBU is sitting flush drop the screws through the hole so
they rest on the nuts below.
Then gently tighten both screws with your fingers evenly until they are lightly snug.
Do not overtighten these screws, you only need to hold the RBU in place so the electric
contacts touch.
Install any other modules you have purchased, then replace the back cover and tighten the
Torx screws down, careful not to overtighten them and damage the plastic.
Let’s install the battery now.
On the lower back plate there are two tabs with arrows pointing outwards.
Simultaneously pull both tabs outwards and the back plate should unlock and pop up.
The tabs are tricky to pull apart if you use the pads of your fingers, I use my nails to
get a grip on them.
Once the lid is popped gently lift it up while pulling towards the tabs to remove it and
place it to the side.
Check to make sure your rechargeable battery has its electric contacts facing the right
direction.
Then repeat the process of removing the battery in reverse by sliding the battery up into
its grooves and firmly pressing down until the tabs click back into place.
Now it is time to test the unit.
Flip it back over and depress the right arrow which says ON.
The screen should light up and now display the correct RBU information.
If you have installed a radio module it will also display on screen.
You have now successfully installed a RBU and rechargeable battery on your STanalzyer
or STa6000.
If you have purchased the protective rubber boot you can now slide your analyzer into
it from the large hole at the top.
It takes some force and a bit of pulling to get the unit through, but it’s the only
way to get the boot on.
Afterwards you can install the optional kickstand by removing the Torx screws, lining up the
kickstand holes over those holes and screwing it down using the longer Torx screws which
were included with your unit.
This concludes our tutorial on the initial setup of your new STa6000 or STanalyzer.
If you have any questions or comments on your STanalyzer please leave a comment down below
and we will be sure to include it in our next tutorial series.
