Auxiliary Sensors
The Auxiliary sensors are used for supporting custom sensors and triggering actions based on the sensor values. There are
four auxiliary sensors.
Note: there is a fifth sensor - Transducer Sensor (Auxiliary Sensor 5 in RapidCore) - that is similar to the auxiliary sensors. It is
set in the Application Menu >Transducer Menu (or Sensors > Auxiliary Sensor 5 in RapidCore). The below menus are for the
Auxiliary Sensors only.
You must use the RapidCore Configuration Software to program a custom sender table to the controller for the auxiliary
sensor(s) that will be used. Otherwise "Undefined Sensor" will appear menu in the front panel menu system. Once a sender
table is programmed to the controller all the other settings can be adjusted from the front panel of the controller.

Port A
Port B
Port C
Port D

The source where to get the signal for the aux. sensor.
Any port can be used even if it is used by another sensor or aux.
sensor. If the port is in use by other sensor this is known as
overloading the port.
Custom Sender

Software only)

Undefine
d
The sender resistance / value curve must be programmed from
the RapidCore Configuration Software even if the port is being
overloaded. This tells the controller how to interpret the signal
from the port. No front panel configuration is allowed until the
sender curve is programmed to the controller.
Display Enable
Disable
-----
Determines if the sensor's value is displayed on the screen when
the engine is running.
Active Mode Disable
Global
OFF Mode (Not in Auto)
Auto Mode
Running
Cranking
After Cranking
Cooldown
-----
Determines under which operating conditions the Auxiliary Sensor
is monitored. Multiple selections are allowed. Does not apply to
"Start on Low" or "Start on High"; for those selections the active
mode is always AUTO.
Refer to the examples in the following pages for information on
specific mode functions.
Disable - Input cannot be triggered.
Global - Input can be triggered at any time.
OFF Mode - Input can be triggered while in the OFF mode.
Auto Mode - Input can be triggered while in the AUTO mode.
Running - Input can be triggered after a start command is
received until shut down (cooldown not included).
Cranking - Input can be triggered during cranking.
After Cranking - Input can be triggered after engine has started
until shut down.
Cooldown - Input can be triggered while cooldown timer is active.
Func. Select Fault Monitor
Output on Low
Output on High
Start on Low
Start on High
-----
Determines how the controller responds to the readings of the
auxiliary sensor.
"x on Low" will turn on the output or start the controller if the
sensor input falls below the Start Level.
"x on High" will turn on the output or start the controller if the
sensor input rises above the Start Level.
Trim Offset -50.0 ~ 50.0 units. The
units depends on the unit
type of the programmed
sender table --
0 F, psi, %,
V, A.
-----
Calibrate a sensor by using the offset to correct errors.
Mode Settings >
Bypass Time 0 ~ 90, 1 second
increments
-----
The amount of time to ignore the sensor input after the desired
active mode is first entered. Once triggered the bypass time does
not apply again until the device resets (for example transitioning
from RUN to the OFF or AUTO state) or on power-up.
Mode Settings >
Run Time Disable
-----
(Only applies if Func. Select is not set to Fault Monitor) The
amount of time to turn on the auxiliary switched output or run the
