This function controls all of the ‘Load-Cell Configuration Settings’.

Left mouse click on Load-Cell Configuration to show the file drop-down


menu.

‘Overview’

The Dyna Pro Dynamometer if fitted with a ‘Load-Cell’ can perform both ‘Sweep Testing and Steady State Testing’, the
‘Load-Cell’ is also equipped with a ‘Torque Measuring Device’ and an „Infrared Temperature Sensor’ both of which are
standard fitments on all Dyna Pro Dynamometers. The reason for these items being standard is that they are key to the
system operation of the ‘Load Cell’, all Dyna Pro Dynamometers use ‘Closed Loop Feedback Techniques’ to accurately
control the ‘Load-Cell’.

The Load-Cell Configuration drop-down menu controls, configures and calibrates all of the ‘Load-Cell’ functions. There
are several modes of operation, ‘Manual or Automatic’, and within these modes of operation there are several different
ways in which the load can be applied, these are as follows: -

1. ‘Static or Fixed Load’ this will apply a constant load to the Dynamometer, for example 10 ft/lb‟s regardless of what
the ‘Road Speed’ is. This type of testing is commonly referred to as ‘Sweep Testing’.

2. ‘Linear Load’ this will apply a load of which will increase with ‘Road Speed’, for example for every 10 mph
increase in road speed, the load will increase by 3 ft/lb‟s. This type of testing is commonly referred to as ‘Sweep
Testing’.

3. ‘Speed Squared Load’ this will apply a load of which will increase exponentially with ‘Road Speed’, this type of
load is commonly referred to as ‘Wind Resistance’. This type of testing is commonly referred to as ‘Sweep
Testing’.

4. ‘Holding Loads’, these are loads that are applied to the Dynamometer to hold the vehicle being tested at a
constant ‘Road Speed’ or ‘Engine Speed’, regardless of what power the vehicle is producing, this type of testing
is commonly referred to as ‘Steady State Testing’.

The ‘Load-Cell’ can also perform an ‘Auto Deceleration’ at the end of a Dyno Test, ‘Auto Deceleration’ will only work after
a ‘Logged Dyno Test’ has been completed. At the end of the Dyno Test the ‘Auto Deceleration’ function will be applied
and will automatically slow the vehicle down to the point at which the operator started the ‘Logged Dyno Test’. This
feature can be enabled or disabled.

The 4 control indicators in the top right of the ‘Make Run Screen’ show the
operator which functions are operational, or which mode of operation the
‘Load-Cell’ is in.

‘Green’ Indicates operational


‘Red’ Disabled
‘Grey’ Not Set

‘Load-Cell Calibration’

‘Overview’

Calibration of the ‘Load-Cell’ is critical to its operation and accuracy. There are 2 steps to the calibration. First the ‘Load-
Cell’ must be ‘Zeroed’; and then secondly the ‘Load-Cell’ must be calibrated.

The second step of calibration requires the use of ‘Calibration Torque Arm’ and the supplied ‘Check Weights’ that was
supplied with the Dynamometer; this calibration checks that the ‘Measured Load Range’ is correct.

It is recommended that the Dynamometer should be ‘Zeroed’ on a daily basis (Step 1), and that the ‘Measured Load
Range’ should be calibrated once per month (Step 2).

It is also recommended that the ‘Calibrations’ be carried out at the start of the working day before the Dynamometer is
used.

CAUTION!!!
Treat the ‘Check Weights’ with care and ONLY use the ‘Check Weights and Hanger’ that was supplied with the
Dynamometer. DO NOT cut, modify or shorten the ‘Calibration Torque Arm’ in any way, as this will lead to highly
inaccurate calibration.

CAUTION!!!
Be aware that the ‘Check Weights’ are heavy; please observe normal lifting precautions, when handling the ‘Check
Weights’.

Left mouse click on Load-Cell Calibration to show the ‘Load-Cell Torque


Calibration’ dialog window.

Overview

The Dyna Pro intelligent ignition pick-up sensor is a microprocessor-controlled system designed for ignition sensing on
virtually any ignition system. This system will work on low tension AC ignition feeds, DC CDI ignitions, HT Plug wires and
will even deal with multi-spark ignition system. The microprocessor will try to distinguish between an actual firing pulse
and unwanted noise or Electro Magnetic interference (EMI).

On certain types of ignition systems the inductive clamp can be put around multiple cables to obtain an ignition pick-up,
for example, to place the clamp around all of the cables coming from a plug top coil.

In some cases it is also possible to clamp around one of the battery cables.

• Check vehicle oil levels in both the engine and gearbox.
• Check for vehicle chain condition, tension, lubrication, master links etc.
• Check tyres for any stones lodged into the tread pattern that could come out during testing.
• Check tyres for general condition (tyre wall cracks, tread life, etc)
• Check Tyre speed rating, vehicles can be driven at a higher speed on a dynamometer than on the road, as a result of
no wind resistance.

• Check Tyre pressure, an under inflated tyre, can become excessively heated when used on the dynamometer.
• Check that there is enough fuel in the tank to perform the dyno tests.
• Check vehicle for any other defects that could make the vehicle unsafe for dyno testing.
• Check that the front wheel is secured in the tyre stop.
• Check that the tie-down straps are in place and tension correctly.
• Check that the drive tyre is correctly centred onto drive roller.
• Check that exhaust extraction system is attached and running.
• Check that no other person(s) are behind the dynamometer.

WARNING!!!
Never allow any person(s) to stand behind the Dynamometer or vehicle when it is in operation. Only the dynamometer
operator should be near the dynamometer when in operation. Keep person(s) inside the dynamometer test area to an
absolute minimum.

WARNING!!!
All person(s) in the Dynamometer Test Area must always wear protective clothing, ear protection, and eye protection
(goggles, safety glasses) whenever the dynamometer is in operation.

Engine Warm Up

Before commencing with any dyno tests, ensure that the vehicle and drivetrain have been warmed up to normal
operational temperatures. Failure to do so could result in permanent engine damage of inconsistent dyno test results.

During the engine warm up procedure check for any coolant, fuel, oil leaks or any unusual engine or transmission noises.
In the event of any of the above, stop the vehicle and diagnose the problem before commencing with a dyno test run.

If all is OK the operator can now commence with a Dyno test run.
