Analog Input Parameters

(S300 V2 & V3 only)

Warning:
The ground pins on the analog input connector are connected directly to the ECU ground plane. The ECU
will be damaged if power is applied to these pins.

The S300 has eight 0-5V analog inputs located on the S300 board. These may to datalog and record
additional sensors.

Analog Inputs

To edit analog inputs, select the analog input from the Analog Inputs list.

Conversion
Built in conversions for common inputs are available, or a custom conversion may be selected.

Voltage Offset
A voltage offset may be used to correct the voltage at sensor to the voltage as read by the
ECU. However, the use of a non zero voltage offset indicates a ground voltage difference, which should
be fixed rather than using an offset to compensate for the voltage difference. The ground voltage
difference will not tend to be constant, as different ground current flows change the ground potential.

To reduce the ground voltage difference take care where the sensor device ground is connected to the
vehicle wiring. If the sensor device (eg a wideband controller) has an analog ground output, connect this
to one of the ground pins on the S300 analog input connector. If the sensor device does not have an
analog ground output, then the sensor device output voltage will vary with the current the sensor device is
using. To minimize this effect, use a heavy gauge wire for the ground, shorten the sensor device ground
wire to the minimum necessary and ground the sensor device to the same place as the ECU master ground
- normally on the intake manifold.

Custom Input
Custom voltage conversions may be entered here. Note that temperature units are always in degrees
Celsius, pressure units are always in bar, air/fuel is always in lambda units.

Analog Wideband
Most wideband controllers have an analog output which may be used as an analog input on the S300.

The wideband analog output should be connected to a S300 analog input. If the wideband has an analog
ground, then this should be connected to the S300 analog ground (marked GND on the board; black wires
in the connector).

eg. Connecting a AEM 30-4100 with single analog output

Analog Pressure
Any pressure sensor which produces a linear 0-5V output may be used as an analog input on the S300.

As an example, here is how to wire the Autometer 0-100 psi liquid pressure sensor.

You will need both the sensor part # 2246 (4590-0023-12), and the wiring harness, part number 5227.

The sensor harness has three wires:

• +5V (grey) - connects to an ECU 5V voltage supply
• Ground (black) - connects to an logic ground
• Signal (purple) - connects to the analog input

eg. Connecting two Autometer pressure sensors.

Be careful! The logic ground pins A26 & B2 are next to +12V pins, which will damage the S300 /
sensor if connected by mistake.

Note: In order to reduce the voltage offset between the ECU and wideband, use a heavy gauge wire for
the wideband ground, keep the wideband ground wire as short as possible and ground the wideband in the
same place as the ECU.

eg. Connecting a AEM 30-2310 with analog output and analog ground.
Analog Temperature
Certain temperature sensors may be connected directly to the s300 analog inputs. Temperature sensors
contain a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) resistor, and decrease in resistance with increasing
temperature. Because the NTC resistor does not provide a voltage output, a pull up resistor must be used
so the s300 can measure the sensor resistance.

Temperature sensors have non linear resistance to temperature and cannot use a straight voltage to
temperature conversion table. Conversions for common sensors are built into KManager using Steinhart-
Hart co-efficients.

Supported Sensors
• Delphi 25036751 (air temperature)
• Delphi TS10075 (coolant temperature)
• Bosch 0280130039 (air temperature)
• Bosch 0280130026 (coolant temperature)
• Delphi 12160855 / AEM 30-2012 (fluid temperature)

Other Delphi and Bosch part numbers may have the same output characteristics are the above sensors.

Wiring
A 1.5k ohm (1500 ohm) 1% resistor must be used between the analog input and 5V. The 5V source can
be any of the ECU VCC outputs. The sensor can be grounded to any ECU signal ground (SG3 in the
picture).

Analog Wiring
The analog input connector should be connected with the red wire on analog input 0, and the back wires
to ground.
Warning:
The ground pins on the analog input connector are connected directly to the ECU ground plane. The ECU
will be damaged if power is applied to these pins.
