All of the cables
supplied with the Auto Meter Data Logger
are cut in a length of 15 feet. This allows
for a custom cut end installation. The idea
is to route and mark all cable length, then
return the cables to Auto Meter where they
will be properly terminated and assembled
with the connector.
100 PSI Pressure Sensor and Cable. This
option includes one 100 PSI sensor for either
the high side fuel pressure reading or it
can be used to monitor oil pressure.
As you can see (and
likely imagine), a heavily optioned Data
Logger will include a rather hefty amount
of cabling. The best place for the respective
harness assemblies is on the floor of the
race car, next to the rocker panel (as shown
here). The idea is to have the cabling in
such a location that it's easy to reach
and service if necessary. Additionally,
cables should be kept as far away from ignition
wires as possible. Auto Meter also advises
that the use of RF suppression spark plugs
should be used to reduce noise emission
of all ignition types.
Vacuum monitoring. This sensor monitors
the vacuum inside the engine crank case.
Next issue, we'll examine
installation issues. Some of the installation
practices might surprise you!
