E888 Analog Inputs

Inputs ExA1 to ExA8 are voltage inputs much like the ADL2’s Analog Voltage
inputs except that they only accept voltages in the range 0 to 5V and they
have a resolution of 4.88mV (10bit).

Inputs ExA9 to ExA16 are K type Thermocouple inputs and must use the
calibration “E888 K Type Thermocouple”. The temperature range is –200

°C to

+1250

°C (-328°F to +2282°F)

E816 Analog Inputs

All the E816 inputs (ExA1 to ExA16) are voltage inputs - much like the ADL2’s
Analog Voltage inputs except that they only accept voltages in the range 0 to
5V and they have a resolution of 4.88mV (10bit).

Expander Digital Inputs

The Expander Digital Inputs may be used to measure frequencies in the
range 1Hz to 5000Hz.

The inputs have a 2700 ohm resistor connected from the input to Battery+.

Expander Communications Setup

Note that the “Expander Inputs” CAN communications template must be
selected in the Communications Setup screen before the ADL2 will receive
data from the E888 or E816.

Auxiliary Outputs

The ADL2 has 8 Auxiliary Outputs which may be used to control various
vehicle functions such as: Gear Change Lights, Warning Lights, Thermatic
Fan, Gear Box Oil Pump, etc.

Items such as Thermatic Fans or Pump Control should be setup using the
User Conditions or the general purpose Tables, there is no specific setup item
for these types of devices.

The Auxiliary Outputs switch to ground and can drive up to 0.5 Amps.
Devices that consume more than 0.5 Amps such as motors should be driven
via a relay.

They Auxiliary Outputs can be configured for switched or pulsed control.
