SWIFT 30 Sensors Installing the Transducer 99
Road Simulator
Before you begin
Angular correction is required on the test track only. If you are using the same
transducer(s) for non-spinning simulation testing you must load the correct
software into the TI.
The SWIFT sensor must be attached to the test fixture before the vehicle is
mounted.
Clean all surfaces. It is critical that all surfaces be free of stones, burrs, and
grease.
Do not pressure-wash the transducer or clean it with solvents that would
degrade its silastic seal.
Pressure-washing the transducer or cleaning it with certain solvents can
damage it or degrade its silastic seal.
Avoid pressure-washing the transducer. Use only solvents that will not degrade
the silastic seal.
Do not use high-pressure-air to clean debris from around the transducer
connectors.
High-pressure-air can damage the silastic seals.
Use a fine wire brush and low air-pressure [0.07 MPa (10 psi)] to clean debris
from around the transducer connectors.
Do not under-torque the lug nuts.
Lug nuts 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 injury to personnel.
Always tighten the lug nuts to the torque rating recommended for the vehicle/
wheel.
