1.3.11. Install and connect Optional Idle Speed Motor


If you are not using the Idle Speed Control, tie the loom connector back neatly in the engine
bay. If the engine has a suitable Idle Speed M otor then you may connect it to the wiring loom,

otherwise you can install a Haltech supplied idle air control motor. For details on how to
install and plumb the Idle Speed M otor, see Chapter 14.

1.3.12. Install and connect any Optional Outputs


If you are planning to use any of the Programmable Optional Outputs, install and connect

them now. Depending on what options you are using, the wiring will be different.
(Refer SECTION 4

1.3.13 Connect the Trigger Sensor


The F10 requires a trigger signal on each spark event in the engine rotation ie. A 4-stroke V8
will have 4 spark events per engine rotation (or 8 spark events per cam rotation). The trigger

signal can be one of the following:

Coil Negative:

The F10 can use the switching voltage at the negative terminal of the ignition coil as a
trigger signal in what is called a “coil negative” trigger set-up. To wire the F10 for

this trigger set-up; connect the trigger wire in the Haltech loom to the negative
terminal of the ignition coil.


Tacho Output:

Some popular ignition systems have a tacho output signal which can be used to trigger

the F10. It is necessary to use this output if the ignition system used is a Capacitive
Discharge Ignition system with a multiple spark function.


Hall Effect and Optical Triggers:

The F10 can also accept a signal from Hall Effect and Optical triggers systems. These

trigger devices generally 3 have connections each - ground, power and the signal. The
trigger connector on the M ain Harness has six pins. These pins and their connections
are shown in the diagram below.
