How to install a steel axle transducer
A single axle transducer is used to monitor a single axle suspension system. In most cases, two axle
transducers will be installed per axle, one on the suspension for the left wheel, one on the right.
Ensure that you select the appropriate position for the sensor. Please see “Sensor installation
positions” on page 26 for guidance on selecting a position for a sensor
1. Clean and dry the surface where the transducer will be mounted to the
suspension system:
• Use brake cleaner and scotchbrite to remove heavy debris
• Use alcohol wipes provided to ensure all grease is removed
Loose paint and rust must be cleaned down to bare metal. The site must
be dry before installation
2. Ensure the mounting surface is at an appropriate temperature:
• The ideal temperature of the mounting surface is 70°F / 21°C
• If required, warm the spring with a hot air gun before bonding the
transducer
It is not recommended to apply the bonding tape at temperatures below 60°F / 15°C
3. Warm the bonding tape in your hands and apply it to the appropriate side of the sensor:
• The sensor must always be mounted with the
face adjacent to the groove pointing up
• The sensor must always be mounted with the
internal domain cable pointing towards the
pivot point on the suspension system.
Please see “Sensor installation positions” on page
26 for further guidance on sensor orientation
