■ Outline
Conventional automatic screw drivers of CLF Series, αF Series, and CL-A Series use motors with
carbon brushes that require periodic replacement. Wear in the carbon brushes as well as in the
commentator aects the operating life of the driver, requiring the motor to be replaced peri-
odically.
The BLT-AY-61 and BLT-AY-71 Driver controller uses a brushless motor and not use consumable
parts such as carbon brush. That saves much of maintenance eorts for this driver.
Features such as 2WS* (2-way speed) and REV (reverse rotation), which are available as option-
al for CLT-AY-61/CLT-AY-81, are now included as standard.
A torque protection circuit is used during low speed 2WS operation to vastly improve bit stop-
ping when re-tightening screws.
There is a main power switch, and the primary input voltage ranges from 100 V to 240 V allow-
ing worldwide use.
* With conventional Driver controller CLT-AY-61/CLT-AY-81, similar function is called "2WV", but with these new
automatic drivers, it is called "2WS".
<Notes>
① BLT-AY-61 is a power supply dedicated to BLF-2000 and BLF-5000.
② BLT-AY-71 is a power supply dedicated to BLF-7000 series. Up to
120V ac only.
③ Any other power supply or counter, such as T-70BL or BLOP-STC3,
cannot be used for automatic screwdrivers.
Such misuse might cause an accident or other problem.
(Notice)
We can specially provide you with a screwdriver for left-handed threads on request.

■ Precautions
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before use to ensure proper operation.
● On any commercial power source, install a ground-fault interrupt breaker and safety circuit
breaker.
● Connect the unit to ground and use only the rated voltage.
● Do not exceed the rated loads for the output connections on the rear panel. Exceeding the
rated load will cause the unit to malfunction.
● If the unit may be subjected to inductive loads from a relay or solenoid valve coil in auxiliary
equipment connected to the input/output connections on the rear panel, install a reverse
polarity diode to suppress electrical noise. The unit may malfunction if noise suppression is
not installed.
● The overload protection will be activated when the driver is locked or has become over-
loaded. If the driver is overloaded repeatedly, the maximum ratings of the unit or attached
electric driver may be exceeded. If the driver becomes overloaded during Forward operation
or begins to malfunction due to developing excessive heat, stop the ongoing operation im-
mediately, turn the main power switch o, remove the power cable, and contact our service
department for repairs.
● When tightening screws on work pieces constructed of plastics susceptible to static electric-
ity build-up, tightening should be performed after static electricity has been discharged. If
working on pieces that have not been properly discharged, static electricity may flow up
through the end of the bit, causing malfunctions.
● A common GND should be used if the unit is connected to auxiliary equipment that is pow-
ered separately. The unit may malfunction if a common GND is not used.
● Do not apply voltage to the inputs or outputs. This may cause malfunctions.
● Extending input/output connection cables longer than necessary or bundling power cables
together can cause malfunctions.
● Choose an installation area with no vibrations. If the unit is installed in a high location, en-
sure that it is properly secured.
● Do not install the unit near high voltage equipment or in an electrically noisy environment.
● Do not place heavy items on top of the unit, or stack the units on top of one another.
● Do not install the unit in an area where it may be subjected to dust or metal fragments.
● Do not use the unit with anything other than HIOS drivers as this will cause the unit to mal-
function.
● Do not disassemble or modify the unit in any way, as doing so may cause the unit to mal-
function. Such malfunctions are not covered by the HIOS warranty and repairs to the unit
may be refused.
● The operating environment for the driver should be between 5C and 40C with relative hu-
midity of 80% or less (there should be no possibility of condensation).
● Do not drop the unit or subject it to mechanical shocks.
● Always hold the plug when inserting or removing power cables or driver cords into or from
sockets.
● Do not drag cords or cables, subject them to oil or to sharp edges, or place them under
heavy objects.
● If the unit will not be used for a long period of time, turn the main power switch OFF and
unplug it from the service outlet.

■ Main Functions
1. The motor control circuitry is incorporated into the BLT-AY-61/ BLT-AY-71, giving the driver
a simpler construction.
2. The internal buzzer can be turned o (internal SW 6-1).
3. The FOR input for forward rotation from an external source can be switched between pulse
and reading (internal SW 6-2).
4. Forward / Reverse driver rotation High speed / low speed driver rotation can be controlled
externally.
5. The rpm can be set in 11 steps comprising 20 – 30 for high speed, and 11 steps comprising
5 – 15 for low speed.
6. The shape of the input signal can be selected to suit the movement of the cam during
torque up operations. Torque up can also be set for reverse rotation (for tightening counter
screws).
Eg 1: Set to U1 when tightening with high rpm and one impact (one UP trigger edge)
Eg 2: Set to d3 when tightening with low rpm and three impacts (three DOWN trigger)
7. If the driver keeps rotating and the overtime setting is set on the controller, the driver will
stop automatically and a buzzer will sound (recovery by turning power OFF / ON).
8. If the driver is overloaded, the overload protection circuit will be activated, the driver will
stop and a buzzer will sound (recovery by turning power OFF / ON).
9. Operation display indicators are installed on the front panel to monitor driver operation.
10. Simple settings are available with the combination of four buttons (Mode, ↓ , ↑ and ENT)
and the 2-digit seven segment display.
11. The internal power supply has a power selector switch and can be used with voltages of
any country.
12. The power unit has been made compact and lighter compared to other power units for au-
tomatic drivers.
13. The rear terminal block is removable, making installation and replacement simple.

■ Main Terminology
1. Tightening Check (setting the impact number)
To check that the screw has been tightened properly or to tighten the screw further, the
screw is tightened two or three times after the initial tightening. A tightening check can also
be referred to as a second tightening or re-tightening.
2. Torque Up
After the screw has been tightened and the tightening torque reaches the set torque, the
electric driver clutch disengages.
3. UP Trigger
Used when the clutch signal is received on the upslope of the cam when the bit is rotating at
high speed.
4. DOWN Trigger
Used when the clutch signal is received on the down slope of the cam when the bit is rotat-
ing at low speed.
5. Input Method
Signal input to the unit is through a photo coupler with a maximum current of 10 mA.
If an open collector connection is used, connect the emitter to GND and the input to the col-
lector.
(Caution)
Do not apply any voltage to the inputs. Install a diode that absorbs reverse voltages to the
relay coil on the input connections. If any auxiliary equipment is used, include electrical
noise suppression.
6. Output Method
The output signal of the unit is through a dry contact output internal common GND on one
side with a maximum rated load of DC 24 V / 500 mA. A common GND for connections with
auxiliary equipment should be used.
(Caution)
Do not apply voltage to the inputs. Install a diode that absorbs reverse voltages to the relay
coil on the input connections. If an auxiliary unit is used, carry out electrical noise suppres-
sion.
7. Overload Protection
The overload protection circuit stops output to protect the unit and electric driver from ex-
cess current if the driver is operated into overload.
The overload protection is activated, turn o the control unit and let it sit idle for at least one
minute. The driver may be operated after turning the unit back on.
(Caution)
Please note that if the driver is repeatedly overloaded, activating overload protection, the cur-
rent rating of the unit or the electric driver may be exceeded.
