Abstract text

This device is a wireless tool qualifier that verifies that the correct number of fasteners have been properly installed into an assembly. When used in conjunction with a wireless tool, proper fastener torque and count can be verified. In another embodiment, the wireless qualifier is used with a tool having a self-contained internal power supply (battery). The qualifier is configured to wake up and come out of its low-current sleep state when a conditioned signal is greater than a reference signal. The qualifier is configured to monitor the tool when the tool is awake.
