1. General information
The complete measuring system 9170B comprises a
sensory tool holder (Rotating Cutting Dynamometer),
that can be mounted directly at the machine spindle and
a communication box 5347A (WL Receiver), that receives
the data through wireless from the tool holder. The spindle
type on the machine tool determines which rotor version
is required. The piezoelectric 4-component sensor, four
charge amplifiers and the digital transmission electronics are
integrated into the tool holder. It measures the radial forces

2.3 Receiver dongle
The receiving antenna receives the data signals transmitted
by the tool holder (RCD) and forwards them to the WL
Receiver. The dongle should be placed as close as possible to
the RCD (range ≤5 m).

Do not discard old electronic instruments in
municipal trash. For disposal at end of life, please
return this product to an authorized local electronic
waste disposal service or contact the nearest Kistler
Instruments sales office for return instructions.
Only charge the RCD at an ambient temperature
between 0 and 40 °C. Use the original charger
and the original charging cables. Charging outside
the specifications can seriously and irreversibly
affect the performance and service life of the
rechargeable battery!
The receiver dongle is the receiving and
transmitting unit on the stationary side of the
measuring system. The receiver dongle contains
the transmitting and receiving antenna.

3. Installation and commissioning
The tool holder (RCD) is a precision instrument that requires
careful handling. The following instructions should be
followed for that reason:
• The tool holder (RCD) has been fine balanced in order
for it to be able to be used for up to 16'000 rotations per
minute for force and moment measurements. Depending
on the selected adapter, there may be further restrictions
on the rotation speed. The binding permissible speed is
engraved on the housing of the RCD.
• Incorrect handling of the dynamometer has an immediate
influence on the balance quality and thus on the quality of
the measurement.
11
Do not allow the dynamometer to fall and do
not subject it to any hard blows! The maximum
force of a shock of this type could exceed the
load range of the device and cause lasting
CAUTION
deformations.
3.1 Mounting the tool holder (RCD)
Please observe the respective information in the manual of
the machine tool manufacturer before the tool holder (RCD)
is inserted in the spindle.
The tool holder (RCD) may only be inserted
manually into the spindle without explicit
approval from Kistler and may not be changed
CAUTION
with the automatic tool changer.
3.2 Connecting via PTS App
The software connection and set-up of the unit is described
in the instruction manual of the PTS App Z22059-900. All
settings of the measurement chain and its operation can
only follow via the PTS App. After starting the app, the first
thing to do is to log in with the password "CFM" before you
can make any further settings.
4. Restoring all settings
The Wireless Receiver can be reset to the factory settings by
using the Reset button (11). This causes all user and network
settings to be reset.
To reset the settings, the Reset button (11) on the back of
the device must be actuated with a pointed object (e.g.
needle) for at least 2 seconds.
