Emerald K3 ECU for Lotus Elise S1, Exige S1, 340 R Elise S1 – ExigeS1 – 340 R – ECU Emerald K3 ECU Technical documentation Release 1.00 INTRODUCTION AIM has developed special applications for many of the most common ECUs: by special applications we mean user-friendly systems which allow to easily connect your ECU to our hi-tech data loggers: user need only to install harness between the logger and the ECU. Once connected, the logger displays (and/or records, depending on the logger and on the ECU data stream) values like RPM, engine load, throttle position (TPS), air and water temperatures, battery voltage, speed, gear, lambda value (air/fuel ratio), analog channels.. All AIM loggers include – free of charge – Race Studio 2 software, a powerful tool to configure the system and analyze recorded data on your PC. Note : once the ECU is connected to the logger, it is necessary to set it in the logger configuration in Race Studio 2 software. Select Manufacturer “Emerald ”Model “K3”. Refer to Race Studio Configuration user manual for further information concerning the loggers configuration. Warning: it is strongly recommended to always verify whether the ECU needs specific software settings to export data. 1 www.aim-sportline.com Elise S1 – ExigeS1 – 340 R – ECU Emerald K3 ECU Technical documentation Release 1.00 INDEX Chapter 1 – Car Models ..................................................................................................... 3 Chapter 2 – CAN communication Setup .......................................................................... 3 Chapter 3 – Connection with AIM loggers ....................................................................... 4 Chapter 4 – Lotus Emerald communication protocol ..................................................... 5 2 www.aim-sportline.com Elise S1 – ExigeS1 – 340 R – ECU Emerald K3 ECU Technical documentation Release 1.00 0 Chapter 1 – Car Models Emerald ECU can be installed on the following Lotus cars models: • Elise S1 • Exige S1 • 340 R 2 Chapter 2 – CAN communication Setup Emerald K3 ECU is equipped with a CAN communication protocol used to communicate parameters to a data logger.

Please, follow the instructions listed below: • Select “Can data link” from the “ECU configuration Menu”. • From the “ Device” drop down menu select “ AIM dashboard”. To enable this K3 to AIM data-link ensure the “data link” check box is ticked. Before configuration changes can take effect the ECU must be updated. • Select “Update ECU configuration” from the “ECU” menu. 3 www.aim-sportline.com Elise S1 – ExigeS1 – 340 R – ECU Emerald K3 ECU Technical documentation Release 1.00 4 Chapter 3 – Connection with AIM loggers To connect Emerald ECU to AIM loggers: • • Connect pin 1 of the DB9 COMMS connector to AIM cable labelled CAN+ Connect pin 2 of the DB9 COMMS connector to AIM cable labelled CAN- 4 www.aim-sportline.com Elise S1 – ExigeS1 – 340 R – ECU Emerald K3 ECU Technical documentation Release 1.00 1 Chapter 4 – Lotus Emerald communication protocol Channels received by AIM loggers connected to Lotus Emerald K3 ECU are: ID CHANNNEL NAME FUNCTION ECU_1 K3_RPM SPEED ECU_2 K3_SPEED RPM ECU_3 K3_OILPRESS Instant fuel ECU_4 K3_OILTEMP Average fuel ECU_5 K3_ECT Engine temperature ECU_6 K3_FUEL PRESS Fuel pressure ECU_7 K3_BATTVOLT Battery voltage ECU_8 K3_TPS Throttle position sensor ECU_9 K3_MAP Manifold pressure ECU_10 K3_AIRCHARGETEMP Air charge temperature ECU_11 K3_LAMBDA Lambda value ECU_12 K3_FUELTEMP Fuel temperature ECU_13 K3_EXHTEMP Exhausted gas temperature ECU_14 K3_GEAR Gear number ECU_15 K3_ERRORFLAG Error flag 5 www.aim-sportline.com
