Installation & Configuration
Wiring
Wire
MoTeC recommends the use of Tefzel insulated wire.
For general sensor hook-up 22# wire is recommended (5 amps maximum at
100 °C ambient temperature)
Note The Tefzel wire is difficult to strip unless the correct stripping tool is
used. Be careful not to nick the wires as this may result in wire failure or poor
crimping.
Refer to Appendix L: Wire Information for more detail.
Connectors
For details on mating connectors for the ACL and VIM refer to Appendix M:
Connector Details. For other products refer to the product's user manual.
To ensure that the connector is sealed, plug unused holes with filler plugs. A
heat shrink boot may also be used if desired.
Crimping
Ensure that the correct crimping tool is used for all contacts to ensure a
reliable connection.
Refer to Appendix M: Connector Details for information on the appropriate
crimping tool.
Ground Wiring
Ground the ACL to a good ground. The ground should have a direct
connection to the vehicle battery.
CAN Bus Wiring
The CAN bus has special wiring requirements, refer to Appendix K: CAN Bus
Wiring for details.
