The Analog Module, when added to Dynojet's market leading inertia dynamometer,
results in a complete vehicle performance test.
The Analog Module is capable of measuring any 0-5 volt signal on a vehicle and comes
with an unterminated cable to allow you to hook up your own sensors. Additional
sensors and cables are available from Dynojet.

This section describes how to access the dyno electronics, install the Analog Module,
route the Analog Module cable assembly, and connect the sensor cables.
CONNECTING AND DISCONNECTING POWER TO THE DYNO
Always disconnect the power before beginning any installation procedures.
Refer to your dyno installation manual for more information on disconnecting the
power to your specific dyno.
1 Use the main breaker to turn power on and off to the dyno.
2 Disconnect the power plug to ensure all power has been removed from the dyno.
ACCESSING THE DYNO ELECTRONICS
You will need to access your dyno electronics in order to add the Analog Module. Use
the following steps to access the dyno electronics.
1 Turn off the main power to the dyno.
Analog Module Installation
To prevent possible injury always disconnect all power to the dyno.
2 Locate the dyno electronics enclosure.
Refer to your dyno installation manual for more information on locating and
accessing the dyno electronics encloser.
3 Remove the twelve screws securing the cover and lift the cover off.

ROUTING THE ANALOG MODULE CABLE ASSEMBLY
1 Route the Analog Module cable assembly through the cable clamp on the back of
the dyno electronics enclosure.
1a Loosen the two screws and lift the clamp up to slide the analog cable
through.
1b Secure the clamp with the two screws.
2 Attach the connector on the Analog Module cable assembly to the front of the
Analog Module.

CONNECTING THE SENSOR CABLES
1 Attach the sensor cable(s) to the Analog Module cable assembly. The two types of
sensor cables are described below and shown in Figure 1-6.
• An unterminated sensor cable, included with your Analog Module, is designed
to connect directly to or “tap into” the vehicle’s existing sensors. Wire the
cable as follows:
•Red is 5 VDC
• Green is sensor output
•Black is GND
• A terminated sensor cable is designed with a specific sensor attached for
measuring a specific pressure.
2 Once the sensor cable is connected to the analog cable, you will need to route the
sensor cable to the appropriate location on your vehicle for the pressure you are
measuring.
