10 Shunt signal
The T12 torque transducer supplies a shunt signal, at either 50% or 10% of
the nominal (rated) torque, as selected. Activate this function via the T12
Assistant or the shunt signal trigger on plug 1 or plug 3 (see Section 9.3). The
last shunt selected in the T12 Assistant is then triggered.
The internal signal conditioning may cause a delay in triggering of about 5
seconds.
To obtain stable conditions, we recommend activating the shunt signal only
once the transducer has been warming up for 15 minutes.
The framework conditions for reproducibility (e.g. the mounting conditions)
must be established in order to reproduce the measured values in the
manufacturing certificate.
Important
The transducer should not be under load when the shunt signal is being
measured, as the signal is applied additively.
After about 5 minutes, the shunt signal is automatically deactivated.
