Excellence in drivetrain testing In this manual, you will find all steps to be taken for electrical and software start-up of ATESTEO products, which are compatible with VETAS 3 (such as vehicle telemetry system or measuring steering wheel). This manual is applicable for the following types of measuring systems: • 1x torque, 1x temperature (rotor electronic temperature) • 2x temperature (1x thermocouple, 1x rotor electronic temperature) For setting-up the corresponding measuring system, refer to the appropriate appendix. Each measuring system is thoroughly checked before delivery to its technical...

Excellence in drivetrain testing The evaluation unit VETAS 3 V3 provides all necessary supply interfaces for running the compatible ATESTEO measurement systems. The USB interface can be used for external monitoring and controlling by the VECTO software package. Necessary software updates and an extra data connection can be linked by this USB serial interface too. All measurement systems work contactless and are maintenance-free. The data transmission can be realized by a frequency-modulated infrared or by an inductive transmitter. The electrical power supply of the rotating electronic circuit...

Excellence in drivetrain testing CAN errors can be reset by switch VETAS off and on. Pressing ‘E’ can reset other errors in the terminal. A remote control can be optionally ordered with VETAS. With the remote control, the torque or angle value can be reset to zero by two individual push buttons. When connecting the VETAS with the remote control, each button will light up for 1 second as power indicator. During the operation with VETAS, each button can be used to trigger the zero point adjustment (zero reset). Each reset will take up to 7 seconds. Wait until a reset is finished or press both buttons...

3 Safety Instructions Before starting up and maintenance or in case of other operations at the measurement system attention should be paid to the following instructions:  Follow all safety instructions and directions denoted in the operation manual.  Make sure that every precaution will be taken. It is a necessity that all safety appliances are functional attached to the measuring device. Only in this way, a safe and successful operation is guaranteed. Reference to additional standards: Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EWG, Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 89/336/EWG and the harmonized standards...

4 Electrical installation 4.1 Mains supply The measuring system needs to be powered with DC voltage in a range of 9V to 36V. The power input depends on the transmitter system. The power consumption ranges between 12 and 36 watt. The power supply must be protected with a time-lag fuse of 3A against overcurrent. 4.2 Grounding The housing of the evaluation unit is equipped with an earth connection terminal and must be connected to vehicle ground. The internal ground is separated from that earth. The stator unit must be connected to vehicle ground for proper operation too. The shielding of the connecting...

Excellence in drivetrain testing Socket LEMO EGG.1 B.304.CLL female ** Plug LEMO FGG.1B.304 CLAD52 X970 is only equipped if VETAS was ordered with an optional remote control to reset torque and angle. X970 will replace X960. Pin assignment is not published, since X970 is only to be used with the related remote control. The evaluation unit VETAS 3 V3 can be connected to a PC via a Mini-USB slave connector socket. With help of VECTO software, the device can be configured. Please refer to the VECTO software manual for further setup instructions. The availability of the setup options shown in the...

Excellence in drivetrain testing If you have purchased a complete torque measurement system consisting of a torquemeter and a corresponding evaluation unit VETAS 3, you may skip the following articles. After connecting the sensor to the VETAS 3, the system is ready for use. All values specified in your test report are preinstalled to the measuring system. In case of new configuration of the measuring system (e.g. replacement of torquemeter/evaluation unit), the following adjustments of the default settings are absolutely necessary to properly run the system! For your convenience, the evaluation...
