28 Installation

External Lights

All lights including the Shift Lights & Warning Lights must be wired externally.
This allows a choice of lights and allows the lights to be placed in the
optimum position.

Usually LEDs or LED arrays are used.

The lights must be wired between one of the Auxiliary Outputs and the ADL2
Battery Positive.

The lights must not consume more than 0.5 Amps (6 watts at 12Volts) unless
activated via a relay.

Thermocouples

Thermocouples must be wired to the ADL2 via a thermocouple amplifier.

The MoTeC Thermocouple Amplifier (TCA) may be used with K Type
thermocouples and may be connected to either the Analog Voltage or Analog
Temperature inputs of the ADL2.

Connecting to a MoTeC ECU

An ECU may be connected to the ADL2 which will make information in the
ECU available to the ADL2 for display or logging or any other purpose.

MoTeC M400/M600/M800/M880 ECUs may be connected via CAN or via
RS232.

The MoTeC M4, M48 & M8 ECUs must be connected via RS232.

Connection via RS232

The telemetry feature of the MoTeC ECU is used to send data to the ADL2 via
an RS232 connection.

See Appendix G: ECU to ADL2 Wiring (RS232) for wiring details.

ECU Setup

The ECU ‘Telemetry Set’ and ‘Telemetry Baud Rate’ should be selected to
suit an RS232 communications template supported by the ADL2.
