Note:
The connecting cable assembly (ER 113-0X) consists of a cable with
4 shielded twisted pairs of wires to connect the torque transducer to
its signal processing electronic unit. This assembly must be ordered
separately.
Connecting the TM In-Line Torque Transducer is extremely simple. having installed the drive train,
only one electrical cable needs to be connected for the system to be operational.
