Get started with the Ingersoll Rand QX Wrench

TLDR; The initial use of the wrench should involve setting up the torque and angle values beforehand using the INSIGHTConnect app to ensure optimal performance. These configurations are adjustable and can be modified at a later time.

Quick starter guide to set up the wrench using the INSIGHTConnect app

  1. Download the INSIGHTConnect app. The app is used for setting up the wrench at the beginning.

Tip: You can change the language via the app setting

  1. Connect the wrench to the app

    Wrench: plug the battery into the wrench. Once it starts up, choose the app pairing mode.

    INSIGHTConnect app: open the app on your phone, click on ‘Connect to the tool’, and follow the screen

Remark: if you find that the wrench has some problems with the connection, you can try to reset it to factory.

  1. By default, the app and the phone will be disconnected after 60 seconds (sleep timeout). It is recommended that you change this setting, so you have more time to set up the wrench.

Go to the 3 lines → Tool Setup → Interface Setup → Edit → Sleep Timeout (s)

  1. Changing to different psets

You might want to have different psets if you have different bases that require different torque values. From the app, you can edit/add a new pset. In total, you can have up to 32 psets.

Change active pset from the app:

Pro tip: doing this on-site might not be convenience, try changing the pset directly from the wrench!

Change active pset on the wrench:

By default, the wrench will make pset1 active.

To change to different psets from the wrench, you have to navigate to this screen. (Tip: you can use the up-down buttons to get to this screen, see FAQ for more screen explanation)
