NOTES:
•
Pins 14/15 are differential analog outputs. The brown wire should be connected to an analog
ground input for best results. If the EMS, logger or similar device does not have an analog ground
input, the brown wire should be connected to a sensor ground. If no sensor ground is available, the
brown wire should be connected to a power ground. The brown wire must be connected in order to
obtain correct AFR and MAP readings from the analog output(s).
•
** Pins 12/13 are un-populated as delivered. Please order the optional 30-3439 wiring harness to
connect the WBFS gauge to other AEMnet products.
•
The WBFS gauge is able to receive RPM CAN data input from an AEM ECUs such as the Series-2.
6. Connect all cables and wiring harnesses to gauge. Fully install gauge into hole using mounting bracket
and nuts.
