WARNINGS

Disclaimers

Dynojet Research, Inc. (Dynojet) makes no representation or warranties with respect to the contents hereof and specifically disclaims any implied warranties of merchantability for any particular purpose.

Dynojet reserves the right to revise this publication and to make changes from time to time in the content hereof without obligation of Dynojet to notify any person of such revision or changes.

Dynojet is not responsible for false operation due to unexpected dynamometer operation such as may be caused by static, software bugs, hardware failure, etc.

Dynojet is not responsible for damage resulting from improper installation of the dynamometer or from improper service rendered to the dynamometer. Dynojet is not responsible for damage incurred due to alteration of the dynamometer or components, use of unapproved parts, or abuse to the dynamometer.

Do not connect or disconnect cables or components on the dynamometer with the power on.

Always wear protective clothing, ear protection, and eye protection (goggles, safety glasses) when using and servicing the dynamometer.

Equipment Power Requirements

The dynamometer has specific power requirements. Connecting the dynamometer to the incorrect voltage will void the dynamometer warranty. Installation may require a licensed electrician.

Potentially Lethal Voltages

Components attached to and within the dynamometer operate with potentially lethal voltages. To provide the greatest assurance of safety, the AC power cord(s) must be disconnected from the power source before servicing electrical components or wiring. Disconnect all power cords before servicing electrical components for the greatest assurance of safety.

iii

Electrostatic Discharge Precautions

Electrostatic Discharge

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), or static shock, can damage electronic components within the dynamometer. The damage may occur at the time of an ESD occurrence, or the shock may degrade the component, resulting in a premature component failure later. To avoid ESD damage, always practice good ESD control precautions when servicing the dynamometer. Dynojet designs its dynamometers to be very tolerant of static shocks by the users, but the electronics are vulnerable when the electronics are exposed. ESD occurs as a result of a difference of potential between two objects when the two objects touch. Damage occurs as a result of the energy released when the discharge (touch) occurs. The difference of potential can accumulate by as simple an action as a user moving across carpet or a seat. If that person’s energy is discharged directly to the electronics, the electronics can be damaged.

Precautions

To protect against ESD damage, you must eliminate the difference of potential before the electronics are handled. Touch the chassis of the dynamometer before touching any of the electronics. By touching the chassis, you discharge any static shocks to the chassis instead of to the electronics.

If you are holding a circuit board or dynamometer component in your hand when you approach the machine, touch the chassis of the dynamometer with your hand before installing the circuit board or component.

When handling a circuit board or component to someone, touch that person with your hand first, then hand them the component.

Always carry circuit boards in anti-static bags when the boards are exposed (removed from the dynamometer). Dibcom input devices driver download for windows.

Battery Fire and Explosion Hazards

There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Automotive Batteries

In operation, batteries generate and release flammable hydrogen gas. They must always be assumed to contain this gas which, if ignited by burning cigarette, naked flame or spark, may cause battery explosion with dispersion of casing fragments and corrosive liquid electrolyte. Carefully follow manufacturer's instructions for installation and service. Keep away all sources of gas ignition and do not allow metallic articles to simultaneously contact the negative and positive terminals of a battery.

Do not allow the positive and negative terminals to short-circuit. The dynamometer chassis is tied to the negative side of the battery. Do not short between the positive battery terminal or the starter connections to the chassis. In addition, make sure metal tools such as screw drivers, wrenches, and torque wrenches do not come in contact with the negative and positive terminals of the battery. Short circuiting the terminals of the battery can cause burn injuries, damage to the dynamometer, or trigger explosions.

Charging

Batteries being charged will generate and release flammable hydrogen gas. Charging space should be ventilated. Keep battery vent caps in position. Prohibit smoking and avoid creation of flames and sparks nearby.

Wear protective clothing, eye and face protection, when charging or handling batteries.

iv

WA R N I N G S

Other Potential Hazards

The AC power outlet shall be installed near the equipment and it shall be easily accessible to allow for disconnect before service.

The dynamometer should be located in a well ventilated area. There is a carbon monoxide hazard with all internal combustion engines. Engine exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Breathing it could cause death.

Any dyno room design must incorporate sufficient exhaust extraction.

Always wear proper ear and eye protection when operating the dynamometer. Never operate the dynamometer with the covers removed.

Never stand behind the dynamometer when in operation.

Never operate the dynamometer when there is excessive vibration or noise. Resolve these problems before proceeding.

Never fuel the vehicle on the dynamometer unless appropriate safety measures are taken. Verify brake operation before beginning any dynamometer testing.

Verify the vehicle is properly secured to the dynamometer. Never operate the blowers without the guards installed.

Exercise care with any dynamometer testing; portions of the dynamometer and vehicle may become hot.

As with any equipment using electricity and having moving parts, there are potential hazards. To use this dynamometer safely, the operator should become familiar with the instructions for operation of the dynamometer and always exercise care when using it.

Do not repair or replace any part of the dynamometer or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

FAQs

All Widebandcommander FAQs

Can the Wide Band Commander plug directly into my Power Commander for automatic tuning or channel retrieval? Back to Top

The Wide Band Commander is a stand alone product that is not designed to communicate with the Power Commander or plug directly to the Power Commander's expansion port. The information retrieved from the Wide Band Commander can be used to adjust the Power Commander's map.

I have a Wide Band Commander and a Power Commander installed on my motorcycle, how can I adjust the map? Back to Top

The Power Commander's map is based off positive and negative whole numbers versus RPM and Throttle Position. Positive numbers add fuel and negative numbers remove fuel. If the air-fuel ratio (for Unleaded Petrol) is closer to 18:1, the vehicle is lean and when it is near 10:1 the vehicle is rich. When the numbers are adjusted based off of the Wide Band Commander's information, it will allow the air-fuel reading to be set to a more optimal ratio. The maps that are designed by Dynojet , directly, are tuned to have a ratio ranging from 13:1-13.8:1.

For the best tune against air-fuel ratio, horsepower, and torque, it is recommended that a custom map be made at a Power Commander Tuning Center. These facilities are set-up all over the world and have the capability of adjusting the bike for all around optimal performance using a Dynojet Load Control Dynamometer with air-fuel ratio monitor. Please visit the following link to locate a local Power Commander Tuning Center within your area: www.powercommander.com.

Why do I need a wide band A/F sensor? I can buy a kit that ties into my factory oxygen sensor for a lot less money. Back to Top

A typical production vehicle uses oxygen sensors that have a very narrow resolution. When you are cruising / idling (closed loop), the vehicle is concerned with maintaining an A/F ratio of 14.7 (stoich). When you put your foot on the floor and go into power enrichment (open loop), the factory sensors do not have enough resolution to tell you an exact A/F ratio. Any system that ties in to the factory oxygen sensors can only tell you if you are richer or leaner than 14.7. The Wide Band Commander, utilizing the Bosch LSU4 wideband sensor, will tell you exactly what A/F ratio you are running.

What A/F ratio should I be looking for when I'm tuning? Back to Top

On a naturally aspirated engine, you'll make best / safe power between 12.8-13.2. Vehicles running 'power adders' will need to run a little richer, between 11.5-12.5 for best / safe power.

I bought a wide band kit from someone other than Dynojet, but I like your gauge better, is it available for sale? Back to Top

The gauge is available separately, but it may not work with competitors systems.

My vehicle utilizes a coil-on-plug ignition system, do I need a tach adapter to allow the WBC to 'see' RPM? Back to Top

The WBC uses the same RPM acquisition technology found on our world class dynamometers. It is NOT necessary to run an aftermarket tach adaptor, the WBC includes the harness (1 wire hook up) to acquire an RPM signal.

What is the 'Programmable Relay Output'? Back to Top

This output is designed to control the ground circuit on a relay system. The software is configurable to control the circuit based on 1, 2, or all 3 of the WBC inputs. Here's an example, lets say you have a nitrous oxide system on your vehicle. You would tie the 'Programmable Relay Output' wire into the wire that provides the ground for the relay on the nitrous system. The WBC software allows you to define the logic as follows - 'if TP is greater than 3v, and if RPM is greater than 3k, and A/F is less than 13.2:1' - then go ahead and provide a ground path for the circuit. If you would like to simplify this logic, you could just say - 'if RPM is greater than 3k' - then go ahead and provide a ground path. There are many different strategies and logic available with this provision!

I don't have a laptop computer, can I still use the WBC? Back to Top

You can certainly still use the WBC effectively without a laptop computer. If you choose to only wire in the WBC module, the sensor, and the gauge, you won't have to configure the TP and RPM channels in the software. When you do choose to install the TP and RPM channels, they do require a configuration routine available through the WBC software.

Do I need a laptop to datalog? Back to Top

NO! You can datalog 1 of 2 ways, either to the laptop using the WBC software, or directly to the WBC module using its internal memory. If you want to log without a laptop, simply install a switch on the appropriate wire on the WBC module (refer to the installation guide). You can download the log session at a later time when it's convenient to you!

Does the WBC system replace my factory oxygen sensors? Back to Top

Absolutely not! The WBC kit includes the appropriate weld boss that needs to be welded in a location that is defined in the installation guide.

Does the sensor also carry a 12 month warranty like the rest of the kit? Back to Top

The sensor itself is not covered under this warranty.

The WBC requires a 'key on' 12v source, where can I find this on my vehicle? Back to Top

The best place to find a 'key on' 12v source is at, or near the fuse block. Be sure to make sure that the source is 'key on', otherwise you'll drain the battery. The WBC sensor REQUIRES power any time the vehicle is running!

Is the WBC waterproof? Back to Top

Even though the WBC is housed in an enclosure, and the circuit board is potted, the unit is considered water resistant. We highly recommend installing the WBC in an area that is free from moisture, heat, and dirt.

I have other gauges in my car and I would like to match their look, do you offer other styles of gauges? Back to Top

Our initial release is only available with black bezel / white face, or silver bezel / black face gauges. In the future we will be releasing other gauges, both digital and analog, to meet the demands of our customers.

I have a stand alone engine management system in my vehicle, does the WBC have an output I can use? Back to Top

Yes, the WBC does have a 0-5v or 0-5 mA linear output.

Why does my WBC seem to log data quicker when I’m using the internal memory as opposed to logging to my laptop? Back to Top

Due to system resources on your laptop, the log sample may not be as quick as the internal logging feature. To optimize the sample rate (up to 10 / sec), we advise that you use the internal logging feature.

How long is the cable from the sensor to the WBC control module? Back to Top

72'

I have an aftermarket ignition system on my vehicle, will I have a problem getting an RPM signal? Back to Top

Even though many aftermarket ignition systems / plug wires emit more noise than the OEM system, the WBC won’t have any issues acquiring a signal. There are provisions in the software to configure the sensitivity to meet you needs.

Can I use a USB adapter to attach to the RS232 serial port on my laptop for configuring and downloading in the car? Back to Top

We have found that this method either does not work at all, or is completely unstable. It is best to use PC / laptop configured with a USB port.

Are software / firmware updates covered with the initial purchase price? Back to Top

I received a 9v power adapter with my WBC kit, what's it for? Back to Top

The 9v power adapter plugs into the white connector (10 pin) on the side of the WBC. It is used to power up the WBC in the event that you didn't have it wired to a 12v source. We envision most people will leave the WBC hard wired to their vehicle, but a few people may do a 'temporary / mobile install'. This will allow you to power up the WBC in a remote location to download any log sessions or even configure the light / relay with their PC.

Playing back the datalog sessions in the software is a nice feature, but can I export the data to Excel? Back to Top

Yes, when you have a datalog session open, you can go to the “File” menu and select “Export Data”. This will allow you to export the data as a text file, and from there you can save it in a format that can be imported easily into Excel.

I'm interested in the Power Commander and the Wide Band Commander, what's the difference? Back to Top

The Power Commander is a device that allows you to make changes to the fueling characteristics of your vehicle. The Wide Band Commander is a device that allows you to monitor / review how rich or lean your vehicle is running. Currently we only have Power Commander applications for motorcycles (www.powercommander.com), but the Wide Band Commander can be used on most anything with a 12v source and burns petrol fuel!

I noticed my TPS display in the software is not stable, why is this? Back to Top

This can be caused by a poor ground. If both ground wires are grounded to a very good ground, then the digital ground wire (black/wht) should not be affected by the heater ground (black). To get the best possible TPS reading on the Wide Band Commander, connect the blk/wht ground to the TPS ground and the heater ground (blk) to the engine or battery cable.
