Any 0-5V sensor (Configurable input pin):
This input can be used with many types of sensors. For example: Pressure, Temperature, Position,...etc, with 0-5V
output. Or can be used like a digital input for NEUTRAL GEAR SWITCH (since firmware V7.3.3 and GUI V3.6.2KN).
Pin C4: Configurable Input
– you can use this input for any sensor connected as shown (as voltage divider 0-5V)
Pin A1: +5V
sensors power supply
Pin A3: Sensors GND
NOTE: If your sensor has only 2 wires, connect 1 wire to the GND (pin A3), another wire to the input (pin C4) and
use pull-up resistor b5V (pin A1) and signal input (pin C4). Resistor value must be calculated and
depending on he sensor‘s resistance (usually must be > 1kOhm). For OEM automotive NTC sensors it is usually
2,7kOhms.
If Configurable input pin is used like a digital input for Neutral switch, connect one side of Neutral switch to the
GND and other side to the input (pin C4) and use pull-up resistor if necessary. Working principle: If Neutral gear is
selected, switch is connected to the GND >>>> “N“ is displayed on the screen of the Dash7 (if Gear gauge is
presented on actual page) and/or Neutral gear LED is turned ON. For proper function you need to go to the
"Gauges" menu and set the "Neutral Gear Channel" from "OFF" to “Conf.Dash In.” (this function is available only
for firmware V7.3.3 and GUI V3.6.2KN or higher)
If you want to use any other device with 0-5V output as a source for this input, connect GND wire from this device
to the GND pin (A3) of the Dash7 and a signal wire (0-5V max) from the device to the pin C4 of the Dash7. Make
sure that the output voltage from the device will never exceed 5 Volts!
NEVER EXCEED 5 VOLTS ON 0-5V ANALOG INPUTS ! IT WILL DAMAGE YOUR DASH7 !
