FT Input Expander map
The inputs configured in FT Input Expander will be recorded directly in the module, and will be completely independent of the map recorded
in the ECU. On the ECU map the inputs can be set as either the reading comes from the ECU itself or if it comes through the CAN network.
Therefore, despite being independent maps, it is necessary to inform the ECU which channels will come from FT Input Expander and to do
this automatically, it is necessary that the ECU map is open in the FT Manager before opening the FT Input Expander map.
After making the desired configurations, just save the settings in the FT Input Expander and at that moment a message will be displayed,
allowing that the configuration of the inputs on the ECU map is done automatically. Finally, remember to save the updated map to the ECU.
The FT Input Expander identification file has an extension (.ftie) that is different from an ECU map file.
Configuring the FT Input Expander
After the electrical installation is completed and the CAN network is connected, you can configure the FT Input Expander inputs. There are
two types of configuration, one for analog / digital inputs and one for frequency readings such as the RPM and speed channels.

NOTE
Be careful when crimping the wires for connector (2), it assembles in only one position. Wires colors must match at both
FT450 and FT Input Expander sides.

Expander to FT450
To connect a FT Input Expander
to a FT450 ECU the harness
has to be modified, removing
the connector (1) out of the FT
Input Expander, replacing it by a
micro fit connector (2). The micro
fit is sold separately and can be
found at fueltech.net by “CAN A
Connector kit – Male”.
