This section describes the procedures to remove the PC card from the computer,
disconnect and remove the control box, disconnect the air to the dyno brake
canisters, and replace the air hose fitting in the top of the right air canister.
If you are only upgrading to the proportional air brake system, skip to the instructions
in Appendix A.
REMOVINGTHE PC CARD
1Shut down the computer.
2Unplug the power cord to both the computer and the control box.
3Remove the computer cover.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), or static shock, can damage electronic
components. To avoid ESD damage, always practice good ESD control
precautions. Touch the case of the computer before touching any of the
electronics. By touching the case, you discharge any static shocks to the case
instead of the to the electronics.
4Locate the PC card cable that comes from the control box and plugs into the PC
card in the computer. Unplug it from both the control box and the computer.
5Remove the screw(s) securing the PC card and remove the card from the
computer.
6Replace the dust cover to cover up the hole in the back of the computer.
Note: If you no longer have this dust cover, one may be easily obtained from your
local computer dealer.
7Replace the computer cover.

DynoWare EX+ Upgrade For The Model 248 Dynamometer
The DynoWare EX+ system is comprised of four modules: the CPU Module, the
Dynamometer Input/Output Module, the RPM Module and the Atmospheric Sensing
Module. The upgrade requires a new Breakout board (the interface between the dyno
and the new DynoWare EX+ hardware). These modules need to be located where
they will be visible during a dyno run. It is recommended that they be mounted on a
shelf on the wall or on a cart along side the personal computer. This section will
provide you with the information necessary to install and connect the new
components.

CONNECTING YOUR SHOP AIRTOTHE DYNO
Dynojet recommends using an air filter/dryer. Failure to use clean, dry air will
compromise the integrity and life of the air components.
1Mount the air pressure regulator on the wall in the shop with the bracket
provided.
2Connect a supply air hose to the inlet of the regulator from your shop air supply.
The regulator should be set to 60 psi.
3Connect the 3/8-inch air hose to the outlet side of the regulator and connect the
other end of the air hose to the barbed inlet fitting on the air control switch on
top of the right air canister on the dyno. Refer to Figure 7.
Note: Make sure the arrow on the regulator is the same as the direction of the air
flow.
WIRINGTHE DYNOWARE EX+ MODULES
1Place the DynoWare EX+ modules in a safe location in the shop that is close
enough to the computer and the dyno for the cables to reach.
2Attach the cables to the DynoWare EX+ modules. Refer to Figure 8 for cable
placement.
• Attach the 9-pin shielded serial cable from the PC to the RS-232 socket on the
CPU module. Tighten the screws. A 9-pin to 25-pin adapter may be required.
• Attach the 25-pin shielded cable from the dynamometer to the Dynamometer
Input/Output module. Tighten the screws.
• Attach the 9-pin connector from the hand-held pendant to the Dynamometer
Input/Output module. Tighten the screws.
• Attach the 3-pin plug from the power supply to the CPU module with the flat
side facing down.
3Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet.
4Turn the power switch on at the CPU module and verify operation with WinPEP.
