IMU
The IMU is an the inertial platform that is used by the GRIPONE to activate all the strategies
included into the 3D-INTELLIGENCE technology.
2.0 Connection
L’IMU must be connected to the connector marked with “IM” on the GRIPONE.
3.0 Positioning
The positioning of the IMU on the bike is very important. If it is not done in the correct
manner, the control unit may not work. The IMU must be placed far from heat and isolated
by the vibration. Use the foam included into the box to isolate it. On the face of IMU you can
see two arrows pointing to the Z axis and the Y axis.The arrow Y should be pointing the
direction of motion of veichle (as horizontal as possible). The arrow Z should be pointing the
ground (as upright as possible).

If it is the first time you use GRIPONE: run
WINSOFT; by the menu FILE > OPEN, open the base
map (available on the USB memory or online at
www.gripone.com
);
3.
In the case it is not the first installation (and
you had already programmed your GRIPONE S3):
press the button “READ ECU” to upload the map
from the ECU to WINSOFT;
4.
Select “IMU Y – channel” and press the button
