Innovate Motorsports OT-2 - Manual (Page 4)

2 Initial Installation
The OT-2 can be connected to either a Windows PC with USB or Wifi capabilities or with your
iPhone or iPod touch.
2.1 Locating and connecting the OT-2 to the OBD-II port
The OBD-II connector is required to be within 3’ of the driver’s seat in the vehicle and accessible
without tools. Generally it is somewhere just behind the bottom edge of the dashboard,
immediately in front of the driver, but it may be in a relatively obscure place, like hidden behind an
ashtray. On many newer vehicles the connector is concealed behind a small door or removable
plastic cover plate. Also, the connector itself may be covered with a small, removable, rubber cap.
1. Once you find the OBD-II connector, connect the OT-2 to it. The should light up and
almost immediately, the “USB/WiFi” LED should light steadily for about 1 second. This
indicates that the Wi-Fi services are being initialized. The “USB/WiFi” light will then go
out.
2. Next the “MTS” light should come on steadily for about 1 second. After extinguishing for
about 1 second, the “MTS” light should begin blinking, about 6 times per second.
3. Start the ignition on the vehicle and observe the “Vehicle” light on the OT-2. Initial
connection to an ECU can take up to one minute, so be patient. When the ECU is found,
the vehicle light will come on solid for about a second. Then both the MTS light and the
Vehicle light will go out.
If your “Vehicle” light does not light, and the “MTS” light just keeps blinking, do not despair.
contact Innovate Motorsports and provide the model year, make, and model for your vehicle. We
are fully committed to making the OT-2 as widely OBD-II compatible as possible
Pay special attention to the routing of the cable from the OT-2 and the placement of
the unit itself so that it does not get tangled up with your clutch, gas, or brake pedal.
2.2 Automatic Sleep Mode
The OT-2 does not require an ON/OFF switch or any additional wiring. Instead, the OT-2 uses a
different approach to the problem.
The OT-2 uses an automatic Sleep Mode. The OT-2 will automatically enter this mode in one of
two conditions:
A. If there is nothing connected to the serial IN port, the OT-2 will automatically go into
Sleep Mode if the unit is not connected to LogWorks Mobile or LogWorks via USB or Wi-
Fi. Once the software is relaunched the OT-2 will automatically power back up and
attempt to reconnect with the vehicle’s ECU.
B. If another MTS device is connected to the serial IN of the OT-2 the unit will not go into
Sleep Mode until those units cease to send data packets (other MTS devices are wired to
a switched ignition source.) Once the OT-2 “hears” data packets it will automatically
power back up.
Sleep mode does reduce actual OT-2 power consumption, primarily by changing how the Wi-Fi
transmitter is configured. However, in automotive terms, OT-2 power consumption is modest. At
