2.1. Identifying the user interface features of the XD-16
The analog pointer LED’s (21 total) act as a digital needle. The range and individual colors of this “needle” is
freely programmable.
The Function indicators 1 and 2 are used to indicate between % display (heater warm-up or O2 content) when the
XD-16 is programmed as AFR/Lambda display (default). When used to display other channels, the indicators can
be used to indicate the sign of the displayed value. By using the indicators as sign display (positive or negative)
one of the three numerical displays is not wasted to show a ‘-‘ sign. This functionality is programmable.
The main numeric display shows the numeric value of the displayed channel. When the XD-16 is used as
AFR/Lambda display it will also show the status of the wideband controller.
The light sensor allows the XD-16 to adjust its brightness to the light level of the environment. At night the full on
display would be much too bright and would interfere with the operation of the vehicle. During sunlight the XD-16
will go to maximum brightness to allow readability.
The Control Button is used to control various aspects of the XD-16 and attached wideband controller or recording
device like the LM-1.
The record indicator will blink when a LM-1 or other Innovate Motorsports recording product is attached and
actively recording.
2.2. Included cables and devices
1. XD-16 to LM-1 cable (Mini-DIN 8 to female 2.5mm Stereo). Use with patch cable (#3 below).
2. XD-16 to Computer cable (male 2.5mm Stereo to DB-9)
3. Male 2.5mm Stereo to male 2.5mm Stereo cable
4. XD-16 Terminator plug (single male 2.5mm Stereo plug)
5. XD-16 Mounting bracket, studs and nuts
6. CD with manual and programming software
3. Mounting and Connecting the XD-16
1. If not using a commercial gauge pod, cut a 52mm hole into the intended dash location.
2. Insert and mount the XD-16 and mount it with the included mounting bracket, leaving the XD-16 cables in the
back accessible.
3. Connect the RED wire from the back of the XD-16 to a switched 12V source in your car. A switched 12V
source goes on as soon as the ignition on the car is on or the engine runs. Make sure the connection is fused
with at least a 2A fuse.
4. If connecting to a LM-1, connect the “XD-16 to LM-1 cable” to the LM-1’s Serial Port. Plug the 2.5mm male
stereo end into the XD-16 Serial IN port (female 2.5 mm socket marked “IN”).
5. If connecting to an LC-1 or LMA-3, connect the male 2.5mm Stereo to male 2.5mm Stereo cable between the
Serial OUT port of the LC-1 or the Serial OUT of the LMA-3 to the Serial IN port of the XD-16.
