Hardware Installation: V-Net Devices
(pre-defined and user defined
)
If V-Net items were purchased, these should be installed after a mounting location is determined for the Sportsman
Data logger.
Before you begin the actual installation of the devices, you should lay out the devices in the vehicle where they
will be mounted to determine the route of the extension cables between the data logger and the devices. As you are
laying out the V-Net portion of your system, there are some important considerations to keep in mind. These are:
A. The V-Net modules (blue connectors) and the EGT junction boxes contain electronic components.
The temperature of these components cannot exceed 180° degrees F
. Select a location that
minimizes the temperature they are exposed to.
B. Ignition systems generate a large amount of electrical noise (EMI). This noise can cause the V-Net
modules to malfunction. Avoid routing, or mounting any of the V-Net cables, or components near
the high voltage ignition wires.
C. The V-Net components are designed to be water-resistant. They are not waterproof. Avoid mounting
components where they are continually exposed to water, and/or high pressure sprays.
When you are satisfied the devices can be installed meeting the above criteria, follow the steps below to install the
V-Net devices.
1. Follow the installation instructions included with the V-Net device and install the sensors to be used in their
appropriate locations.
2. Referring the generic layout shown below, locate the V-Net module closest to your data logger to be installed
in the system.
3. Install and route the V-Net Extension Cable from the Sportsman Data logger to this first V-Net module.
4. If the next V-Net module installed is to be plugged directly into the previous V-Net module, plug the next V-
Net module into the previous V-Net module at this time.
5. If the next V-Net module is located in a different area, use a V-Net Extension Cable to connect it to the
previous V-Net module.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each of the V-Net devices to be connected to your system. After you have finished
connecting all of the V-Net devices, plug a V-Net terminator cap into the open end of the V-Net cable.
If you do not install this terminator cap, the V-Net devices will not function.
The V-Net hardware installation of your Sportsman data logger is now complete.
