2. Important remarks

2.1 For your safety

Observe the following remarks before you commission

the device. Kistler accepts no responsibility for damages

that could arise from improper use of this product.

Prerequisite for the proper and safe use of the device

is that it be correctly stored, professionally installed and

commissioned, as well as operated as intended and

carefully maintained. Only persons who are familiar

with the installation, commissioning, operation and

maintenance of comparable devices and who possess the

qualicationsnecessaryforthegiventaskmayworkwith

the device.

Mounting a device on a vehicle invalidates the general

operating permit of the vehicle for use on public roads

(possibly also on testing grounds). Please observe the

relevant legal requirements!

Working with an airbag-equipped wheel requires utmost

caution due to high risk of injury. It is imperative to ob-

serve all instructions of the wheel manufacturer!

Do not use defective or damaged equipment.

Do not modify or change the equipment or its accessories

in any way.

Improper use or mounting of the equipment may affect

the safety of the vehicle and/or occupants. The equip-

ment may not be mounted and/or operated in any way

that could compromise the vehicle and/or the occupant’s

safety.

Overloading can cause damage that may not be visible.

Therefore, always observe that the overload limits of

torque and bending moment are not exceeded.

Be sure to install and secure the sensor and the cables in

a way that does not impair the vehicle‘s steering.

When connecting to the power supply, data acquisition

and evaluation systems and other usable components,

pay attention to the proper pin assignment and correct

operating voltage.

Only use the original components included in the scope

of delivery.

Should it be necessary to use your own cables, always

pay attention to the correct pin assignment.

Kistler accepts no liability for damages caused by the use

of cables other than those supplied by Kistler.

2.2 Disposal information for electronic devices

Waste electronic equipment must not be disposed of with

household waste. At the end of its service life, return the

device to the nearest electronic disposal point or contact

your Kistler sales outlet.

2.3 Software upgrades and updates

If Kistler supplies upgrades or updates for embedded

software, they must be installed.

Kistler assumes no liability for direct or consequential

damages caused by products whose embedded software

is not up-to-date.

3. Product description

3.1 General

TheMSWDTIsensorisspecicallydesignedtobeused

with modern steering wheels of passenger cars and utility

vehicles and is applied for non-contact measurement of

steering moment, steering angle and steering speed.

The MSW DTI sensor offers high dynamics and excellent

resolution without impairing steering wheel functions (air-

bag) and control elements.

Normally, the sensor is installed between the steering

wheel and the steering shaft. To permit universal applica-

tion, the sensors may be equipped quickly and easily with

an inter changeable adapter to connect to the steering

shaft gearing.

The MSW DTI sensor is equipped with a switch-key to

reset the steering moment and angle. The offset is stored

and still available after voltage loss or restart. Via CAN

bus, outputs can be set to zero at any point. Calibration

data are stored in the sensor element, enabling the user

to exchange sensor elements, if required.

An optional steering angle stop improves the performance

of special driving maneuvers.

3.2 Functional principle

3.2.1 Steering torque acquisition

Torque values are acquired using a specially designed

measuring body equipped with strain gauges. Friction and

clearanceoftheintegratedballbearingsdonotinuence

the accuracy of the sensor. Torque applied to the steering

wheel is transferred directly through the measuring body

and into the steering shaft. Bearing friction may have a

minor inuence on the subjective judgment of the test

driver.

The torque signal is transmitted from the rotor to the stator

via a short-distance telemetry system, which operates on

the basis of frequency coding. Power supply of the DMS

application is inductively coupled via the telemetry anten-

nas (no internal battery required). A beep indicates when

the measuring range is exceeded.

The sensor is equipped with a push button to reset the

steering moment. It can also be reset via KiCenter soft-

ware or CAN Bus.

3.2.2 Steering angle acquisition

A non-contact optical measuring system acquires the

steering angle. To initialize the steering angle, a rotation

of max. 7.5° is required. It is output absolutely and can be

reset via a push button, KiCenter or CAN Bus. The angle

zero-point is stored and remains available even after a

voltage loss or a restart. The steering wheel must be posi-

tioned≤180°tothestoredzero-pointwhenrestarting.

The measurement steering wheel is capable of spinning

without restriction.

3.2.3 Steering speed

Steering speed must be calculated by differentiating the

angle signal. High steering speeds of up to 2 000 °/s are

possible.

5. Set-up and connection

5.1 Pre-installation safety instructions

Improper mounting of the sensor may affect the safety

of the vehicle.

The replacement of the steering wheel must be carried

out by trained technical staff who is familiar with the in-

stallation, commissioning and operation of comparable

equipmentandwhohasthenecessaryqualications

for this job.

Mounting the sensor on the vehicle may invalidates

the general operating permit for the vehicle.

Working with an airbag-equipped wheel requires utmost

caution due to high risk of injury. It is imperative to ob-

serve all instructions of the wheel manufacturer!

The overload limits for torque and bending moment

must always be observed. Overload can cause dam-

age.

If you apply a steering wheel adapter to use the

MSW DTI sensor with the original manufacturer’s

steering wheel, functions like horn, cruise control, etc.

installed in the steering wheel will be put out of opera-

tion by the adapter; the airbag must be deactivated in

this case.

5.2 Application notes: steering shaft and steering wheel adapters

If user applications require modication of the device or

operationinexcessofloadspecications,contactKistler

Instrumente GmbH for approval.

Mounting of the steering shaft adapter and steering wheel

must not generate or transfer mechanical stress or ten-

sion to the housing area of the Kistler MSW. Make sure

that you have the correct screw length, strength class and

tightening torque (see chapter 5.3).

When returning a measurement steering wheel for

calibration to Kistler, it should be the original extent of

delivery to ensure that service will run smoothly.

Improper operation invalidates the warranty.
