Note Some data acquisition systems may introduce electrical noise spikes to
the battery and cabling. The TI electronics should always be used with
the cleanest power supply possible. To reduce the likelihood of noise
spikes from the data recorder, we suggest running the power cables in
parallel, as shown in the following diagrams. If this does not remove the
noise spikes, separate batteries may be required.
3. Ground the TI and data recorder to the vehicle frame. (See the following
figures.)
Suggested Grounding for a single TI Box
Suggested Grounding for a Multiple TI Boxes
4. Secure the TI box so that it will not move during data collection.
Note If the TI box is not properly secured, it can bump against another piece of
equipment or a hard surface, pushing in the Zero button. If the Zero
button is pushed, you will lose all of the data.
