Field Testing
Although the settings of the TX10K can be changed during
operation of the system, it is best to determine the appropriate
Transmitter Gain setting for a given application prior to installation.
Refer to Appendix B for the relevant calculations.

Refer to Appendix B for the relevant calculations.
1. Attach sensor or strain gage to the shaft (or other surface)
where the desired strain will be measured. Refer to Appendix
D for instructions on strain gage application.

2. Secure TX10K and fresh battery to shaft using strapping tape.
Do not cover TX10K Infrared Receiver or Status Indicator.
Alternatively, hose clamps, machined collars, or other
mounting devices may be used but avoid excessive
compression.

CAUTION: Be certain all components are fixed firmly to
moving surfaces. The fiberglass reinforced strapping tape
should be wrapped around at least 10 times to secure the
components to the shaft. When finished with your testing, cut
the tape and remove the components. Avoid the risk of being
struck by an improperly secured object flung from the machine
by standing clear during operation!

NOTE: If the shaft is small (≤1” or 25 mm), balance might be
an issue. In this case, mount the TX10K and battery 180°
from each other on the shaft. The battery weighs nearly the
same as the TX10K-LP-S.

3. Connect the positive battery terminal to +PWR on TX10K and
the negative battery terminal to -PWR on TX10K. The Status
Indicator light should blink several times and then come on
solid. Secure to shaft.

NOTE: If testing will not begin for some time, use the RM10K
Remote Control to put the TX10K in Standby mode to save
battery life. The Status Indicator light will turn off. A fresh
battery will last for several days in this mode.

4. Cut an appropriate length of 4-conductor ribbon cable (as
short as practical to avoid unwanted electrical noise) and strip
and tin ends. Solder to gage per Appendix D or gage
manufacturer’s specification and make appropriate
