How to Set Up an Output on Elite X

Elite X has 2 low side outputs and 2 PWM or frequency outputs. Configure each in the app by choosing its function, its trigger condition and, for PWM outputs, the frequency and duty.

Low side outputs switch a relay or a solenoid. They do not supply power. Wire the load to 12V and let the output provide the ground path.

Typical output functions:

  • Cooling fan control
  • Fuel pump control
  • Water pump control
  • Intercooler pump control
  • Compressor control
  • Warning light control
  • Relay and solenoid control

Steps:

  1. Wire the load between 12V and the low side output.
  2. In the app, select the output and set its function.
  3. Set the trigger condition, for example coolant temperature above a set value.
  4. For PWM outputs, set frequency and duty.
  5. Check output diagnostics for a fault on that channel.

⚠️ Fit a flyback diode across any relay or solenoid coil. Switching an inductive load without one generates a voltage spike that damages the output.
