Installing the Transducer
B. Following the sequence shown in the previous figure for the transducer
being installed, torque the outer hub bolts in two increments as shown
in the previous table.
Important For the SWIFT 20T, the M8 bolts in the outer bolt pattern (bolts 1–8
in the previous figure) must be torqued, as described, before
torquing the M10 bolts (bolts 9–24 in the previous figure).
4. Bolt the transducer/hub adapter to the road simulator fixture.
(Refer to the documentation provided with the road simulator.)
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each corner.
6. Install the vehicle on the road simulator.
Refer to the instructions in your road simulator operation manual.
For slip-ring
applications
1. Attach the connector housing (or the slip ring bracket and slip ring) to each
transducer.
2. Attach the appropriate cables from the connector housing or one cable from
the slip ring to the TI or data acquisition.
A. Connect the cable from the Load connector on the connector housing,
or from the slip-ring connector, to the transducer connector on the slip-
ring daughter board of the TI box(es).
B. If used, connect the cable from the Accel connector on the connector
housing to your data acquisition device.
C. Connect the cables from the Shunt A and Shunt B connectors on the
connector housing or the slip-ring bracket to the Shunt A and Shunt B
connectors on the TI box(es)
D. Secure the cables to the lateral strut of the road simulator so that it will
not become damaged during testing.
Be sure to leave enough slack for the full range of movement of the
simulation fixture.
3. Connect a 12 V DC power supply to the TI.
You may need to first convert from 120 or 240 V AC to 12 V DC.
4. Connect the data cable from the TI to the data recorder or your test control
system.
There is one cable per channel of data from the TI to the data recorder.
