Wire the sensor to one of the 8 analog inputs, with its supply from the 5V sensor reference and its return to sensor ground, then configure the input in the app: sensor type, name, calibration and pull-up resistor.
The pull-up resistor is app controlled, which is what lets you run a two wire temperature sensor without adding a physical resistor in the loom. Set the wrong pull-up state and the sensor either reads full scale or reads nothing.
Steps:
- Wire the sensor signal to a free analog input.
- Take sensor supply from the 5V sensor reference, and sensor return to sensor ground. Do not use chassis ground.
- In the app, select the input and set the sensor type.
- Name the sensor so it is identifiable on the dash.
- Turn the pull-up resistor on for resistive sensors, off for voltage output sensors.
- Calibrate the sensor against known values.
- Set the warning limit.
⚠️ Use sensor ground, not chassis ground. A sensor referenced to chassis ground will read differently under electrical load, and the error moves with engine speed.
