| The model KEI-1566 is a RF wireless inclinometer
system used on steering wheels in an assembly plant during vehicle alignment.
The KEI-1566 consists of an inclinometer / transmitter, a receiver, and
a tool holder / battery charger. In the above picture, the Inclinometer
/ Transmitter is mounted to a model KEI-435 Steering Wheel Gauge (SWG).
A KEI-435 SWG is a three point contact tool that floats during the alignment
process. The battery operated 1566 transmitter measures / displays
and transmits steering wheel angle. It transmits, at a frequency
of 433 MHz, usable in US, Canada and Europe. A tool holder / battery
charger, comes with the KEI-1566, fast charges the rechargeable batteries
in 1 to 2 hours then drops down to a trickle charge. The tool / transmitter,
when not on a steering wheel, rests on top of the holder / charger therefore
keeping the batteries constantly charged. The Receiver, housed in
a Nema 12 enclosure, displays and dumps steering wheel angle via RS-232
(angle value in ASCII) to an alignment machine. Multiple transmitter
/ receiver units can be used in one plant. |
