Setup for Standalone Speed
Using Speed 1 or Speed 2 wired to control box or gauge:
•
When using a standalone speedometer.
•
When a system control box is connected to BIM-01-2 series.
•
When using an early model control box with no BIM support.
The speedometer
’s signal input should be connected to either SPEED 1 or SPEED 2 depending on the
speedometer requirements.
SPEED 1 is a square wave signal for some OEM and aftermarket speedometers.
SPEED 2 is a sine wave signal for most older speedometers.
Dakota Digital speedometers, and dash systems, can use either output.
CRUISE is a square wave output for most cruise controls.
If you are unsure of which to use, start with SPEED 1 and then switch to SPEED 2 if 1
doesn’t work.
You can also test the speedometer connection by entering the Speedometer Output Setup / Test described on
page 17.
When the correct signal is obtained, most speedometers should read 60 mph.
All three outputs generate the same speed frequency.
Connecting to stand alone speedometer
Dakota Digital ODY or ODYR/SLX speedometer = Gray VSS wire
Connect either SPEED 1 or SPEED 2 to the speed input to the control box
Early VFD3 or STR control box = SPEED terminal
VFD3/VHX = SPD SND terminal
HDX/RTX =
“Speed Input” SIG terminal
Normally no changes are required to the system control box.
Default settings on all control boxes with a
“I/O AUX” or “BIM I/O” input are:
VFD3/VHX =
SPEED
SENDER
=
NORMAL
HDX/RTX =
SPEED
>
INPUT
>
SIGNAL
=
SENSOR
You may refer to the previous setup screens, to verify settings.
However,
do not
change the setting to
BUS
or
BIM
.
Speed Calibrations:
The following speed calibrations can be done without the need to drive the car.
ODY, ODYR/SLX, STR and early metal box VFD3 systems are defaulted to read 8,000 pulses per mile.
VHX/HDX/RTX and black plastic cased VFD3 system are defaulted to 16,000 pulse per mile.
Follow the Speedometer Output/Test setup on the next pages to generate a 60 MPH speed signal
For 8,000 PPM devices set the output to
(*default)
For 16,000 PPM devices, set the output to
.
To eliminate the “
PLEASE SET SPEED
” messages, the speed calibration can usually be done with the adjust mode
without even driving the car.
When the GPS-50-2 is sending out the correct test signal, the speedometer should be reading 60 MPH (96
km/h) or be adjusted to 60 MPH (96 km/h).
