VIM Mounting
Refer to Appendix R: VIM Case Dimensions.
Attachment
Attach at the four mounting points using M3 screws.
Vibration isolation will help prolong the unit life if the vehicle vibrates
severely.
Note The maximum internal operating temperature for the VIM is 85 °C.
It should not be mounted in a position where it will be exposed to
temperatures that will cause an internal temperature greater than this.
Orientation
The VIM may be mounted in any orientation.
VIM Wiring
The VIMs must be wired to the ACL via one of the ACL's two CAN buses and
should be powered from the vehicle battery.
Pin List
Refer to Appendix O: VIM Pin List by Pin Number.
Connector
The VIM uses a 55 pin Auto Sport connector for sensor connection, and
a 5 pin Auto Sport connector for power and communications.
Refer to Appendix M: Connector Details.
VIM Inputs
The sensors should be wired to the appropriate input type.
The differential voltage inputs can be used to directly connect
thermocouples and strain gauges.
