2.1. Identifying the user interface features of the XD-16
The analog pointer LED’s (21 total) act as a digital needle. The range and individual colors of this “needle” is
freely programmable.
The Function indicators 1 and 2 are used to indicate between % display (heater warm-up or O2 content) when the
XD-16 is programmed as AFR/Lambda display (default). When used to display other channels, the indicators can
be used to indicate the sign of the displayed value. By using the indicators as sign display (positive or negative)
one of the three numerical displays is not wasted to show a ‘-‘ sign. This functionality is programmable.
The main numeric display shows the numeric value of the displayed channel. When the XD-16 is used as
AFR/Lambda display it will also show the status of the wideband controller.
The light sensor allows the XD-16 to adjust its brightness to the light level of the environment. At night the full on
display would be much too bright and would interfere with the operation of the vehicle. During sunlight the XD-16
will go to maximum brightness to allow readability.
The Control Button is used to control various aspects of the XD-16 and attached wideband controller or recording
device like the LM-1.
The record indicator will blink when a LM-1 or other Innovate Motorsports recording product is attached and
actively recording.
3. Mounting and Connecting the XD-16
1. If not using a commercial gauge pod, cut a 52mm (2 1/16”) hole into the intended dash location.
2. Insert and mount the XD-16 and mount it with the included mounting bracket, leaving the XD-16 cables in the
back accessible.
3. Connect the RED wire from the back of the XD-16 to a switched 12V source in your car. A switched 12V
source goes on as soon as the ignition on the car is on or the engine runs. Make sure the connection is fused
with at least a 2A fuse.
4. Connect the BLACK wire to ground. The ground should be shared with other MTS devices (for example: LC-
1, DL-32, SSI-4, TC-4, LMA-3, etc…)
5. Connecting Signal Source:
5.1. If connecting to a LM-1, connect the LM-1 patch cable (P/N: 3759) to the LM-1’s Serial Port. Plug the
2.5mm male stereo end into the XD-16 Serial IN port (female 2.5 mm socket marked “IN”).
5.2. If connecting to an LC-1 or other MTS device, connect the male 2.5mm Stereo to male 2.5mm Stereo
cable between the Serial OUT port of the device to the Serial IN port of the XD-16. The rule is: LC-1s
first then LMA-3s, SSI-4s, and TC-4s. Then goes the DL-32 which is going to record the information
coming from the other products. Lastly, you connect your XD-16s which can be setup to display any
channel in the serial chain.
6. If using a computer to datalog or download LM-1 data, connect the XD-16 to Computer cable between the
Serial OUT port of the XD-16 and the computer’s serial port.
The following diagram show how to connect multiple Innovate Motorsports devices to form a logging and display
chain. The example chain consists of a LM-1, a LC-1, a LMA-3 and 2 XD-16’s. In this case the chain has 12
channels (6 from LM-1, 1 from LC-1 and 5 from LMA-3). If you are running LC-1s the rule is: LC-1s first then
LMA-3s, SSI-4s, and TC-4s. Then goes the DL-32 which is going to record the information coming from the other
products. Lastly, you connect your XD-16s which can be setup to display any channel in the serial chain.
