    Symbols used in the operation manual Signal words The following signal words are used in the operation manual according to the specified hazard classification. DANGER High degree of risk: indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
  • Page 6: Introduction

    Intended use The DigiVision software can be used to configure various burster sensors and devices, and to carry out measurements. This operation manual relates exclusively to torque sensors. If using other sensors or devices, please refer to the respective operation manual.

  • Page 9: Running Cables

    Figure 3: Ground connection Running cables In general the following applies: • The torque sensor must be grounded via its mounting screws. • The USB cable length should not exceed 2 m. For longer cables it may be necessary to connect an active USB hub in the cable link to avoid losing the USB connection.

    Rotating torque sensors, model 8655/8656/8661, USB version Electrical connection The USB socket is supplied with a protective dust cap fitted. Before putting the sensor into use, this cap must be levered off with a suitable tool, without damaging it. It is not meant to be cut off! 1.
  • Page 11: Power Supply

    Power supply After the torque sensor is connected to the USB port, the sensor identifies itself as a “high power device”. In this case, the device draws 495 mA from the USB port. Usually this is not a problem for desktop PCs. For laptops, however, several USB ports may share one power supply that is additionally loaded by other connected USB devices (mouse etc.) Therefore, under some circumstances, the torque sensor may be supplied with too little power and cannot register its presence.

    Figure 6: Ground connection Running cables In general the following applies: • The torque sensor must be grounded via its mounting screws. • The USB cable length should not exceed 2 m. For longer cables it may be necessary to connect an active USB hub in the cable link to avoid losing the USB connection.
