Hardware Installation: Digital Harnesses
(cont.)
Connecting Power and Ground to the Data Recorder
The Racpeak Sportsman data logger is designed to be powered anytime the vehicle is in operation. This is a
necessity if other V-Net devices such as the UDX Display Dash, IQ3 Display Dash, or Intelli-Gauge analog gauges
are used in the system. The Sportsman data logger should be connected directly to the switched accessory power
(power for tachometers and gauges) on your vehicle.
To connect the data logger to the switched power, connect the Main Power/Digital Input Wiring Harness to the
data logger. Then route and secure the red and black wires in the harness to their connection points.
In most cases the cable assembly will have been terminated and the fuse holder installed for you from the
factory. If you are installing the fuse holder yourself, follow the instructions below.
Cut approximately 12” inches of the red wire from its connection point at the recorder.
Insert the red wire (from the connector) through the supplied yellow fuse holder. Strip the red wire back
approximately ¾ inch, and double over the end of the stripped wire. Insert the wire in the fuse terminal lug, and
crimp as shown below.
Pull the red wire and fuse terminal lug back into the fuse jacket, insert the fuse (5 Amp) into the fuse holder and
close the fuse holder.
Repeat the above steps for the other red wire, and then connect the end of this red wire to the main switched
accessory power. Be sure to make a solid connection. Intermittent power connections will cause the system to
malfunction.
Install fuse in fuse holder and snap fuse holder together.
Crimp a ring terminal on the black wire and connect to a good solid ground. Be sure to make a solid connection.
Intermittent ground connection will cause the system to malfunction.
Once the stripped wire is folded
back, install lug on wire, and
crimp. Repeat on second wire.
Once the wire is stripped, crimp a
spade or ring terminal on the wire
and connect to 12 volt power source
Once the wire is stripped, crimp a
ring terminal on wire, and connect to
chassis ground, or negative battery.
