5.5 Sensors
The controller has four sensor inputs which can be connected to a variety of different sensors/switches
depending on the input. See the
Terminal Descriptions section for more information regarding the sensor types
supported.
To configure the behavior of these sensor inputs, the user assigns the sensor input to one of the following seven
sensor functions:
•
Engine Temperature
•
Oil Pressure
•
Fuel Level
•
Auxiliary Sensor 1
•
Auxiliary Sensor 2
•
Auxiliary Sensor 3
•
Auxiliary Sensor 4
Note that there are more sensor functions than sensor inputs as the Auxiliary Sensors can be assigned the same
sensor input as the other sensor functions.
•
The Engine Temperature, Oil Pressure, and Fuel Level functions are mostly fixed in functionality but the
Auxiliary Sensors can be configured to perform specific shutdowns or special functions (for example,
starting engine on low temperature)
•
The Engine Temperature, Oil Pressure, and Fuel Level functions can be set to work with a switch or a
sender/sensor, but the Auxiliary sensors can only work with a sender
Note: The engine speed and battery level are built in and do not need to be assigned to a pin.
5.5.1 Engine Temperature
Use the following settings
’ configurations to allow the controller to read and interpret data from the engine
temperature sensor or switch.
