Installing the Transducer

61

Do not use high-pressure air to clean debris from around the transducer
connectors.

High-pressure air can damage the silastic seals and may void the warranty.

Use a brush with fine, non-metal bristles and low air-pressure [0.07 MPa (10 psi)]
to clean debris from around the transducer connectors.

Do not lay the wheel down on top of the transducer without proper padding.

If the wheel is laid down with the transducer under it, the transducer could
be scratched and the connectors damaged.

Always hold the wheel upright when the transducer is attached to it. If needed,
have another person hold the wheel upright while you tighten the bolts, if laying
the wheel down cannot be avoided, place the wheel on a layer of foam or a pad to
protect the connectors.

Do not under-torque the fasteners.

Fasteners that are not properly tightened can become loose during testing.
Loss of a wheel can cause damage to the test vehicle and transducer and
result in serious injury, death, or property damage.

Always tighten the fasteners to the torque rating recommended for the vehicle/
wheel. Recheck the torque daily and/or before each testing session.

Do not drop the slip-ring encoder.

Dropping the slip-ring encoder can damage the encoder or a connector.

Always use care when you handle the slip-ring encoder.
