2.4.4. Temperature sensor
LogBase 04 uses a standard automotive grade K-Type sensor probe that comes as a part of the cable
harness. The connection between LogBase 04 and filter should be properly secured from excessive heat
sources (e.g., nearby heated components).
Temperature sensor probe should be inserted into the filter approx. 5 cm deep and connected using the
provided ¼ NPT fitting. The sensor tip should be facing directly into the flowing exhaust gases. If this is not
possible then the probe should be inserted deeper into the filter, while making sure that the filter is not
damaged by it. The temperature sensor cable should be secured to the fixed components, and away from
the heated ones.

2.4.5. Cable harness
IMPORTANT: DISCONNECT THE BATTERY PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION!
When installing the cable harness, make sure that all the system components (sensors, display devices),
as well as the power supply connections to the battery are made before connecting the LogBase 04 to its
cable harness connector.
The red wire (logger power supply) of the cable harness should be connected to the battery connector using
the fuse kit. The red/black wire (ignition signal) should be connected to the ignition switch. The black wire
(ground connection) should be connected to the chassis. The white / black wire (RPM input) should be
connected to the W terminal of the alternator or similar RPM sensing output. If the Input/Output, i.e., RPM,
wire is left unconnected, make sure it is properly insulated to avoid unwanted short circuit connections.
After all the above connections are made, connect the battery connectors to the battery itself, power up the
vehicle, and check if the EMS system is powered up and running.
Cable harness itself is modular and therefor makes the installation easier.
