CHAPTER 3 ENGINE IDENTIFICATION
3.1 Checking the Identification
The Identification page tells the E6K essential information about the engine characteristics.
Without this information being correct the engine cannot run properly. The Identification is
made up of several fields. Each field can have a number of settings, and you can change most
of the fields.
Use the Up and Down arrow keys (
¢ ¢ ¢ ¢
and
£ £ £ £
) 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 (

and
¬ ¬ ¬ ¬
) 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

Here is a description of each of the Identification fields:
Cylinders
The number of engine cylinders needs to be entered here. This parameter is used to
determine the engine speed.
Load Sensing
The E6K can use either the manifold pressure or the throttle position as a means of
determining the engine load. Most 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.
MAP Sensor
The E6K needs to know the type of Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor being
used. If you do not know what sensor you have refer to Chapter 1 [1.3.1]. Enter the
correct description here to match. If using throttle position mode, set this parameter to
a 1 Bar sensor.
RPM Limit
The E6K can limit the maximum rpm at which the engine will operate. Above this
level the E6K completely cuts fuel or ignition (see below) to the engine. When the
engine speed drops below the RPM Limit the E6K will resume normal fuel or ignition
delivery. This is known as hard limiting. If the RPM Limit is not needed then set this
value above the highest operating point of the engine.
