Installing the Transducer
Do not allow the SWIFT assembly to bump into any hard surfaces or objects
while you are driving the vehicle.
Bumping the SWIFT assembly into hard surfaces such as garage doors,
ramps and railings, or objects such as rocks, stumps, and earth, will
damage the anti-rotate device, cable, slip ring, slip ring bracket (spider), and
transducer.
The SWIFT assembly will protrude approximately 102 mm (4 in) from the side of
the vehicle. Remember to allow extra space on each side of the test vehicle when
driving through areas with possible hazards.
Do not drive through tall grass and brush.
Driving through grass and brush that is higher than the bottom edge of the
transducer can damage the cable and tear off the slip ring.
Avoid driving in any areas with tall grass and brush.
Driving a vehicle with SWIFT sensors mounted on it will change the
handling characteristics of the vehicle.
Driving a vehicle configured in this way on public roads can pose
unexpected dangers to pedestrians and other vehicle traffic.
Only authorized, licensed drivers, who are experienced driving a vehicle with
SWIFT sensors mounted on it, should be allowed to operate the vehicle on public
roads. Drive the vehicle with the SWIFT sensor attached on closed courses only
until you have proper experience.
Do not use the SWIFT sensor if it has been exposed to load cycles that
exceed the full scale calibrated ranges listed in
Excessive loading or load cycles could cause a fracture of the transducer,
wheel rim, hub adapter, or fasteners and can result in serious injury, death
or property damage.
Always be aware of the maximum full scale loads appropriate for your transducer.
If the prescribed limit for any axis of the transducer has been exceeded, contact
MTS for an evaluation and, if necessary, to arrange for the return of the
transducer with the recorded load cycles to MTS for physical inspection and
analysis of the load cycle history.
