AIM External Single Axis Accelerometer, 719 0HRNN
Aim Mono Axle External Accelerometer Motorcycle
The Aim Mono Axle External sensor measures the acceleration of the vehicle. This sensor allows generating accurate track maps, it is for car / snow mobile applications and is supported by Evo 3, MyChron 3 Auto, MXL.
Installation notes
- The accelerometer sensor is resistant to shock but can become critical to vibrations. For this reason we suggest You to fix it using a strip of neoprene, slightly pressed between the accelerometer point of installation.
- Make sure that the sensor is not installed too close to heat sources.
- Do not place the sensor near to sources of interference like ignition coils, alternators and plug leads.
- Please install the accelerometer with the sensitive axle perpendicular to vehicle speed as shown in Figure 2.
Software
Once the external accelerometer has been installed it is necessary to calibrate it. To do so, please use Race Studio 2, the software properly developed by Aim to configure your data logger and analyze stored data.
Race Studio 2
In Race Studio 2 main window, shown here below, You can choose the instrument where you wish to install the sensor. Once selected the gauge, please press "System manager" button.
Once set the correct sensor type, please transmit the configuration to your gauge pressing "Transmit" button.
Sensor configuration
To set the sensors you have installed on your vehicle, please press "Channels" button in "System manager" main window. The following screenshot appears.
To set a sensor it is necessary to double-click in the box corresponding to the "Sensor type" column and to the "Ch_x" ( where x represents the channel number ) row: a menu like the one reported in the previous figure appears.
You can choose between 3 different kind of sensors:
- Lateral Accelerometer
- Longitudinal accelerometer
- Vertical external accelerometer
If you have installed the sensor on a car / snow mobile and you wish to create the track map:
select Lateral accelerometer
Calibration
Once the configuration has been correctly transmitted to your gauge, it is absolutely necessary to auto-calibrate the sensor. Please click on "Calibrate" button: the following screenshot appears.
