Tensioning Rod

Tensioning Rod





The angle of rotation sensor is designed as a potentiometer and is installed on the left hand tensioning rod. The output voltage changes at the wiper contact of the potentiometer during convertible top operation.

The CVM 5 converts the voltage values to angle values. The CVM 5 uses the angle value to recognize the main pillar angle of 1070 for instance. The convertible top lid is not release and opened before this angle is reached.
