no, if it is torque sensor it is output dc level voltage, as per your information, your "so call" torque sensor look like position sensor ?
It is the torque sensor shown in this circuit diagram http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2715#p37987 and described in the following text. I'll try connecting it to the Speedict and see how it goes.
the information is misleading, so you need to confirm it by multimeter manually ...
on diagram shown the torque sensor will output 0-3v, on installation procedure say 4v vdc ... so please use multimeter to measure it :
1. tap the torque output wire
2. without any load e.g. lift your bike above ground
3. move you pedal forward and monitor your multimeter, it should steady on one voltage reading e.g. 2v since i want to confirm if it is sine wave or position sensor
4. now you can apply brake while turning your pedal to increase torque, and see if brake vs. multimeter reading is linear
5. if confirm it is vdc not sine wave, then found out the maximum torque sensor voltage output since mercury measure up to +5v max.
6. if over 5v you need voltage divider circuit to ceiling it to 5v
then you can use throttle function mode, not pas mode or road legal mode :
1. select function mode to throttle mode
2. on throttle type, select current throttle (torque control)
3. connect torque sensor to mercury's port 2
4. connect speed sensor to port 1
5. connect mercury's port 4 to your speed control's "speed adjust" port
6. now you have port 3 free, and you can use it for temperature sensor
i am bit concern ... with this configuration, you will be fixed on 1 speed ratio since we don't have power mode e.g. ECO / Sport ...
imagine your bike move and you keep pedaling, your torque sensor output will be decreased, say down to 1.5v and speedict output tiny power to port 4 ~ 90% human 10% electric powered ? but if we have power mode you can change like 50% human 50% electric power ?
