KiRoad Wireless P1 System, Type 9813B... and Type 9811B... Storage temperature The recommended storage temperature is between 15 °C and 30 °C without direct sunlight in a dry, clean, well- ventilated place. Storage outside of these temperatures can lead to a greater amount of self discharge, lower performance and swelling of the battery cells.
Page 11
Important notes 2.3.3 Using the Wheel Units after a long storage period After a long storage period, the following procedure is rec- ommended: Complete discharging of the battery Preferably, run a complete charge / discharge cycle. Otherwise, it may take 2 to 3 cycles until the maximum capacitance is available again ...
Kistler may occasionally supply upgrades or updates for embedded software. Such upgrades or updates must always be installed. Kistler declines all liability for any direct or consequential damages caused by products running on embedded soft- ware that has not been upgraded or updated to the latest available version.

Commissioning Commissioning Charging the Wheel Unit The Wheel Units with integrated batteries can be charged while assembled – the Wheel Unit is still on the wheel torque transducer – as well as while disassembled. Only use the original optional accessories to charge the Wheel Unit! Charge the Wheel Unit only at an ambient temperature of between 0 and 40 °C.
Page 24
KiRoad Wireless P1 System, Type 9813B... and Type 9811B... Plug the charging cable into the Wheel Unit. Fig. 8: Wheel Unit with charging cable Plug the charging device into a power supply of 100 ... 240 V (~50/60 Hz). The POWER LED (green) as well as the CHARGE LED (red) will begin to light up continuously.
Commissioning Mounting the Wheel Unit on the vehicle The Wheel Units are not mounted until the corresponding RoaDyn P1… wheel torque transducer has been mount- ed on the vehicle. Align the Wheel Unit positioning hole with the position- ing pin for the wheel, then carefully set and press the Wheel Unit onto the center of the wheel.

Page 39
Commissioning Send Mode Continuous Transmission: The data is transmitted continuously with the set interval time. The system operates internally with an interval time of 2 ms. If the transmission interval is increased, every mea- sured value is no longer output via the CAN bus. It is therefore recommended to activate a filter with the corre- sponding average time.

Then read the values from the table above: The Wheel Unit ist enabled, connected to a Wheel Torque Transducer, Ready, a measurement running and working...
Troubleshooting Problem: There are no messages on the CAN bus or incorrect data is being received. Check to ensure that: The electronics unit has power. The evaluation system is connected to the Onboard Unit. The evaluation system and the sensor electronics use the same settings for baud rate, CAN identifiers, iden- tifier types, data format, and CAN termination resistor.
