Wrench Configuration  

The Desoutter Delta Wrench WLAN is capable of being controlled by an integrating party however it is necessary to make some small changes to the configuration in order to define the correct way of working.


It is possible to configure one of two different communications when communicating with a Delta Wrench WLAN.

  • All Delta Wrench WLAN's firmware versions have the capacity to function using a Desoutter Protocol (WLAN)
  • If your Delta Wrench has firmware version 2.3a or newer loaded, then it is possible to use Open Protocol (OP) communication instead of the standard Desoutter one.


See below for which changes are required in a Delta Wrench WLAN for both communication types in order to allow remote control by Infinity Client.


The following Delta Wrench WLAN tool settings have been set using Delta QC. To get the download link please see here 


WLAN Configuration  

Inside of the Configuration Menu:

  • The wrench's source type must be set to "WLAN"
