CHAPTER 3 ECU SETUP
3.1 ECU Setup
The F10 ECU can be used to control fuel delivery to many different types of engines and
requires specific information about the engine that it is to control. The F10 software has a
series of set-up pages that allow the user to program the F10 with these settings, these are:
M ain-Setup
Fuel Setup
3.1.1 Navigating the Set-up pages
The F10 Set-up pages are made up of a series of fields that define the characteristics of the
engine that the F10 is to control. These fields can be navigated as follows:
Use the Up and Down arrow keys (
o o o o
and
p p p p
) to move between fields. The fields are either
Selection type, or Text type. The Selection type fields give you a number of valid entries for
that field. For example, the valid number of cylinders can be set to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 or 12.
The Tab and Enter keys (
v v v v
and
y y y y
) keys are used to change this type of field. Each stroke
of the Tab key will display the next selection. The Shift and Tab keys together will step
backwards through the selections. Once the desired selection is displayed, the Enter key is
pressed to program that selection. Text Fields require you to enter either text or numbers.
Once the field is selected, the new text can be typed in, with the Enter key to finish. An
example is the Rev Limit. This field can be set between 2000 and 16000 rpm. If you want the
rev limit to occur at 7000rpm, then you would need to select this field using
o o o o
or
p p p p
and then
type
y y y y
.
3.1.2 Main Set-up
To access the M ain Setup page press Alt – S to open the Set-up menu then scroll to the M ain
Set-up menu item and press enter.
Cylinders
The number of engine cylinders needs to be entered here. This parameter is used to
determine the engine speed.
The valid values for this parameter are: 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12 and 16
Load Sensing
The F10 can use either the manifold pressure or the throttle position as a means of
determining the engine load. M ost engines operate using manifold pressure to sense
engine load. If your engine employs any form of supercharging, you must run in
manifold pressure mode. Only wild cams, motorbikes or heavily ported rotaries
require throttle mode - i.e. engines whose vacuum signal is small, or fluctuates greatly.
If you are unsure what to use, contact your Haltech dealer.
The valid values for this parameter are: Throttle and M anifold
