5 SL1: INSTALLATION
The SL1 Data Logger is designed to be easily installed in all vehicles.
With the dedicated cables, the Athena Evolution ECU (example RX1PRO) can be directly connected
via CAN bus.
For electrical connections, see
Annex 2
and
Annex 3
of this manual.
5.1 INSTALLING THE GPS ANTENNA
Refer to the following instructions to install the GPS antenna properly:
• Pay particular attention when moving the GPS antenna: Avoid impacts and check that the
cables are in perfect condition.
•
Fix the antenna outside the vehicle: obstacles near the antenna could reduce the sensor's
reception ability. An incorrect position could cause an incorrect lap time, incorrect acquisitions
and trajectories.
• Do not twist the antenna cable with other cables (especially around high voltage cables): this
could cause inductive interference and therefore problems during operation.
•
Do not pass the antenna cable around the cable of the spark plug or other electromagnetic
fields. In motorcycles, it is preferable to pass the cable outside the chassis, but always in a
protected area.
• Fasten the GPS connector to the antenna input of the SL1 Data Logger without applying
excessive force, do not use tools for tightening.
Some suggestions for fixing the antenna:
• Racing motorcycle: fasten the antenna in the rear of the motorcycle, away from heat sources
(exhaust) or in the instrument panel area (above).
•
Off-road motorcycle: fasten the antenna on the handlebar.
• Automobile: fasten the antenna on the roof of the automobile.
• Kart: fasten the antenna on the top of the board, if necessary make a support to position the
sensor in the appropriate direction.
