Up to 16 systems can operate simultaneously on independent channels. The system, comprised of three main components, was designed with many user-friendly features. RX10K Receiver Stable 500Hz frequency response Selectable gain, offset, polarity and channel settings Digital data (RS-232) and analog voltage output signals Multiple level, selectable low pass output filtering Seven unique simulated transmitter inputs Simple keypad and LCD display for easy user interface TX10K Transmitter High signal-to-noise ratio for excellent resolution Low temperature coefficient for accuracy from -25 to 85°C Wide power supply input range from 6 to 25VDC Power Standby mode to extend battery life Two on-board shunt calibration values Status Indicator light to assist in troubleshooting Circuit fully encapsulated RM10K Remote Control (for TX10K Transmitter) Change Transmitter setup without tools or removal from shaft Infrared signal transmits up to 10 feet (3 meters) Handheld with a simple keypad The TorqueTrak 10K is a robust, precision strain measurement instrument ideal for short-term data collection and diagnostic testing. It is designed to withstand harsh field conditions with ease-of-use in mind. - 3 - System Components A standard TorqueTrak 10K Torque Telemetry System includes the following items: TX10K Transmitter Transmitter Antenna RX10K Receiver Receiver Antenna Element Receiver Antenna Magnetic Base with 25ft Cable RM10K Remote Control 110VAC-12VDC or 220VAC-12VDC Wall Plug Transformer 5-ft DB9 Cable 5-ft 2-Conductor Power Cable 10-ft 4-Conductor Ribbon Cable BS900 Bridge Simulator Screwdriver 3/32” Hex Wrench 9V Battery Connector 9V Lithium Batteries (2) 1 Roll of 1” Strapping Tape Butyl Rubber Sheet TT10K User’s Guide TT10K Equipment Case - 4 - Features and Controls RX10K Receiver The RX10K Receiver features a simple keypad on the front panel for user configuration and adjustment. A two-line display indicates the operational status of the RX10K. The RX10K outputs the signal received from the TX10K Transmitter in three ways: 1) as text and graphics on the display, 2) as an analog voltage signal, and 3) as a digital data signal. The top line of the RX10K display indicates the average level of the transmitted signal in numerical form on the left and in graphical form on the right (Figure 1). The numeric value corresponds to the Voltage Output signal in millivolts. For example, an output signal of +8.450V would be displayed as “+08450”. The bar graph provides a visual representation of the output signal level. Each position on the bar graph represents approximately 2V. Both the numerical and graphical indicators are averages of the received signal level over a time period of about 0.2 seconds. Figure 1: Front view of the RX10K When an operational error is detected, the top line of the display alternates between the corresponding error code and the actual signal. See Appendix C for a complete list of error codes. +08450 -_ _ _ _ _ 0 _ _ _ █ _+ Rx Ch: 1 = = = = = = = = = = - 5 - Located on the RX10K rear panel is the On/Off Power switch, a jack for 12VDC Power Input, a Fuse housing, a connector for attaching the Receiver Antenna, binding posts for the analog Voltage Output, and a Com (DB9) connector for the digital data signal. The analog Voltage Output signal has a nominal range of ±10VDC and a maximum range of ±12VDC. The digital data signal is an RS-232 type signal for input to a PC “Com” port. See Appendix A for the pin out and protocol. Power Input Antenna 12VDC 1 Amp Fuse On Power Off Com Voltage Output + Binsfeld Engineering Inc. Maple City, MI USA (+1) 231-334-4383 www.binsfeld.com Tested to Comply With FCC Standards SN: Figure 2: Rear panel of the RX10K CAUTION: The Power Input, Voltage Output and Com (digital output) share a common (or ground) connection. Specifically, the outside ring of the Power Input, the “-“ jack of the Voltage Output and pin 5 of the Com output are all internally connected. Care must be taken in connecting the RX10K to external components in order to eliminate ground loop problems. Such ground loop currents can cause errors in the output signals and possible internal damage. The included power supply is electrically isolated and will eliminate any ground loop problems with the Power Input. It is recommended that the Com (digital output) and Analog Output are not connected to external equipment at the same time. An exception to this rule exists when one of the two external devices accepting the analog or digital output signal is “floating” or not externally connected, such as battery operated voltmeter or a laptop powered by batteries. - 6 - User Parameter Selection and Adjustment The RX10K Receiver has seven user-configurable parameters. The parameter name and value are shown on the lower line of the display. Parameters are selected by scrolling through the parameter menu using the SELECT …
