Comment traduiriez-vous cette expression dans la phrase : "As the press speed drops to the ink system off setpoint, the speed signal will be quenched and the pumps will turn off". Il s'agit d'un manuel d'utilisation d'un dispositif de mesure de la vitesse pour une rotative. Un doc de référence a traduit par "le signal est trempé", ce qui me paraît bizarre. J'ai pensé à "étouffé". Merci de votre aide.

la valeur du signal de vitesse sera reduit
dans les dispositifs automatique certains des éléments reçoivent plusieurs signaux (entrée), les analyse et donne une reponse proportionnelle, la vitesse est un de ces signaux ou paramètres... ce signal peut être transmis sous forme de courant, c'est à dire l'élément tournant par exemple est couplé à un petit générateur de courant dont l'intensité est proportionnelle à la vitesse, si la vitesse diminue, l'élement à commender sens une diminution de courant...

: I think it's more than just 'reduced', it is actually removed completely (probably forced to zero, for example)

le signal de commande de vitesse sera supprimé
Not entirely sure about my FR here, but it basically means that it will be suppressed — 'quenched' is quite an odd word to use in EN, making me wonder if this isn't perhaps an already-translated document from some other source language?
But it's the same usage as in 'to quench a light' = to put it out

'trempé' is definitely completely wrong — that is the metallurgical sense of 'quench' as in hardening / annealing steel.

le signal... sera éteint/s'éteindra
il y aura extinction du signal
quench = extinguish
