Welcome to Part 2 of the Atlas Copco STanalyzer tutorial series.
In this video we will be going over some basic operations of the STa 6000 such as navigating
the menus, setting up a quick tool test or joint test and creating a Pset.
To start, first you must supply power to your STanalyzer.
This can be done using the internal battery or using an AC power adapter.
I will be using a power adapter since I do not have a battery installed.
Then press and hold the right arrow button which says ON for a second until you see the
screen light up.
The STanalzyer will now display information on the RBU installed and check for a radio
signal.
After this the unit will load to the main menu and show 4 categories: Test, Transducer,
Reports and Device.
To navigate the menus you must use the 4 arrow keys to change your current selection.
The selected icon will show a darker background when active.
To advance within a menu you then must press the button below the screen which shows the
option “Select”.
Once in a menu we now see the option “Back” as well as “Select”.
The buttons below them will always correspond to the text shown above them, giving these
buttons multiple purposes depending on what menu you are in.
Press the back button to get back to the previous screen.
Before we go ahead and get into the test menu, let’s connect a transducer.
For this example I will be attaching the IRTT-B rotary transducer.
As soon as the device recognizes a new transducer it will load in its information.
Since this is a genuine Atlas Copco transducer you can see the model number pops up on screen.
To confirm our transducer settings navigate to the Transducer menu and press Select.
Press select again on “Current” and you will see all the information, settings and
calibration data specific to that transducer.
Let’s back out to the main menu again.
Time to set up a test.
When you open the Test menu you are given two options, Free test and Quick Program.
Free test will give you two options, speed and track.
Speed will show you the current RPM and peak RPM of your transducer, while track will display
the current torque and angle information.
These tests don’t save any data, but are great for quick reference.
If we back out again we can select Quick Program.
Inside this menu we have the option to select Tool Test or Residual.
Let’s select Tool Test.
Then we must select a test from either click wrench, power tool, peak wrench, pulse tool
or only angle.
If you wanted to test your joint instead you would select residual and then select from
the list displayed.
For this video we will setup a Power Tool test.
After selecting Power Tool we come to this screen.
By hitting the menu button we can start the test or change our tool and Pset settings.
Since we are using the Basic setup without an RBU we can’t save more than 1 Pset and
don’t have access to a tool database.
Adding the QC or AA RBU will allow you to save up to 1,000 tools in the database and
1,000 Psets.
By selecting Tool we have access to some general information about the tool and some basic
settings.
After using the arrows to navigate and change settings to our liking we can back out to
the previous screen.
Hitting Menu again we can now go down to Pset and change our testing strategy and settings.
Use the arrow keys and select the values you would like to change for your test.
Once you are happy with your Pset back out once more to the previous screen, press Menu
and then Start to begin your test.
You have now setup your quicktool and quickPset and are ready to begin testing.
Once finished testing you can navigate to the reports section of the main menu to view
your test results.
That concludes this tutorial on the basic setup and functions of the STa 6000 STanalyzer.

and we will be sure to include it in our next tutorial series.
