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!
