TorqueTrak Revolution Installation Guide
Tools Required:Digital multimeter, solder and soldering iron,
5/8”, 9/16” and 11/16” socket wrenches,
1/8”, 5/32” and 1/4” hex wrenches, and wire strippers
Step 2:
Secure Rotating Collar to Shaft
-Assemble the Collar on the shaft
near the gage with lead wires
toward the gage.
USE CARE WITH CONNECTORS
-Secure the Collar with bolts
provided after applying antiseize
compound to the threads.
-Tighten alternate bolts evenly
until gap between the halves is
as shown above.
Step 3:
Mount Master Control Unit
-Mount Master Control Unit
(MCU) to a mounting bracket so
that the back edge of the
Mounting Block is aligned with
the back surface of the Collar.
-Remove the MCU cover.
-Connect power supply to Power
Input connector (green) and
connect to the mating terminal
inside MCU.
Step 1:
Install Strain Gage Sensor
- Glue gage to shaft at least 1 inch
(2.5 cm) from the Rotating Collar
per manufacturer’s instructions.
- Do not attach Revolution lead wires
to strain gage at this time.
Step 5:
Verify System Operation
-Slide the Main Power switch to ON.
-After 10 seconds, verify that Main System
Status and Star Bridge lights are on solid.
(If Main System Status light is flashing or
Star Bridge light is not on, see
Troubleshooting Guide on back.)
-Connect ammeter to Torque Signal
Output Terminals (1 & 2) inside MCU.
-Measure Torque Signal current (mA).
Reading should be approximately 12 mA.
-Slide Remote Shunt switch inside MCU to
ON. (Main System Status light will flash.)
-Measure Torque Signal current (mA).
Reading should be approximately 16 mA.
-Slide Remote Shunt switch inside MCU to
OFF. (Main System Status light on solid.)
Step 6:
Connect Signal and Gage WIres
-Remove star bridge from lead
wires and discard.
-Solder leads from collar to gage
as shown.
-Connect permanent signal leads
to Signal Output connector
(black) and connect to the
mating terminal inside MCU.

Step 4:
Install Stationary Power Coil
-Assemble the Power Coil to
the Mounting Block with
screws provided.
-Verify that the Power Coil is
aligned with the Collar before
proceeding. Adjust the Collar
or MCU position if necessary.
CAUTION: For successful operation
there should be no metal (other than the
shaft) within 1” (2.5 cm) of the Power Coil
