A drill template for the AQ1 Data Logger is provided on the last page of the instruction 
manual.  Drill the four mounting holes with a 3/16

” drill bit.  With the dust cover on the 

AQ1 Data Logger module, secure the module using the supplied 6-

32 x 1 ¼” stainless 

screws and nuts.  Some resistance will be felt when inserting the mounting screws for 
the first time as the screws will pierce the dust cover.   A sharp pick or paper clip can be 
used to make pilot holes in the dust cover if desired.  

Note: the dust cover is made of 

a specially selected material that allows the cover to be flexible, yet does not rip 
or tear.

Power Connections 
 

RED (PERM PWR)- Connect to a fused (5 Amp) constant 12 volt power source. 

 

RED (SWIGN) 

– Connect to a fused (5 Amp) switched 12 volt power source.   

 

BLACK (BATT GND) 

– Connect to a clean power ground.  (Do not connect to a sensor 

ground) 
 

AEMnet 
 

AEMnet is an open architecture software and hardware interface based on the CAN 2.0 
specification, which provides the ability for multiple enabled devices to easily 
communicate with each other through a single cable. The hardware connection is made 
through a Deutsch 4P DTM connector and contains 12 volt switched power and ground 
(2A max) as well as the CAN data lines. Devices connected to the AEMnet transmit 
data through this one connection and most of these devices receive power from this 
same connection as well. 
 

The following AEM products are currently AEMnet enabled: 
 

Series 2 Engine Management System 
 
EMS-4 Universal Standalone Engine Management System 
 
4-Channel Wideband UEGO Controller 
 
AQ-1 Data Logger
