Using the GPS

Electrical Connections

The GPS unit sends data to the logging device via an RS232 serial
connection.

The wiring between the GPS connector and the logging device should be as
short as possible, preferably less than 1 m (3 ft).

The following table shows how to wire the GPS unit to a number of MoTeC
logging devices.

Note that the ADL3 and SDL3 logging devices only have one serial
connection therefore if an ECU is to be connected then it must be connected
via CAN. (Note that not all ECUs have a CAN connection)
