INSTALLING THE MODULE
•The unit can be secured as needed to the vehicle using the
supplied velcro or suitable mount. Make sure the unit will not
interfere with the operation and/or steering of the vehicle.
•The mounting holes on the back of the module use the standard AMP style pattern.
•Connect the supplied cable into the port on the side of the
module and run the other end of the cable to an open CAN
port of the PCV network.
•This can connect to the PCV, Ignition Module or
SFM. Whichever has an open CAN port. If your
network currently has a CAN termination plug occu pying the open port then you can remove the CAN
termination plug. It will no longer be necessary.

POD DISPLAY
MAIN MENU
GAUGE VIEW - Setup your channels to display
CONFIGURE ALARMS - Setup the 3 lights to
illuminate based on channels from PCV/WB2
DATA LOGGING - log selected channels and view
them later in .csv format
DEVICE SETUP - Setup PCV fuel trims and WB2
device settings.
USB MODE - download your saved logs
DISPLAY SETTINGS - Adjust BRIGHTNESS,
CONTRAST, MODE of module. MODE lets you
invert the screen if necessary.
ABOUT - Detailed information about the module
4 pin connection cable
8 pin port
Not used for this application
USB port
GAUGE VIEW
You can view up to 4 channels at a time. From the main
menu go to GAUGE VIEW. Choose which screen you want
to use. There are 4 preset template screens.
Click on Display Value A - this will be the channel in upper
left corner of SCREEN 1. Choose what channel you want
this to be:
INTERNAL channels are from the module (time, CPU usage).
PCV channels are from the PCV network. What modules and/
or features you have enabled will dictate what channels you can
view.
WB2 channels are from a WB2 or Autotune. If you are trying
to view AFR and you have an Autotune this is where you would
get that channel. On a dual channel Autotune you would get the
AFR channels under the PCV list. If you have a single channel
Autotune or WB2 you would get this channel from the WB2
list.
POD300 - 2
Repeat this for the other 3 channels if desired.
CONFIGURE ALARMS
Alarms can be setup based on 1-3 channels and triggered by less than or greater than.
1 channel alarm example:
RED light is triggered when ENGINE RPM is greater
than 10000rpm
2 channel alarm example:
YELLOW light is triggered when AFR is greater than
14.0 AND greater than 60% throttle
3 channel alarm example:
GREEN light is triggered when AFR is greater than 12.8
AND less than 13.8 AND greater than 10% throttle
DATA LOGGING
ADD CHANNEL - You must first pick what channels
you want to log. You can choose from the PCV network or WB2. When you first enter your selection you
will see the full list of channels available for logging. As
you choose which one you want this channel will drop
off the list
VIEW/REMOVE CHANNEL - This removes the channels form the list you want to log and puts them back
into the main ADD CHANNEL list.
DELETE LOGS - Remove stored logs from the unit.
The unit has 4 slots of internal memory that you can log
to. Once the slot is full logging will automatically stop.
If a slot is full it will automatically start logging to a new
slot on the next initialization. If you START/STOP a log
and the slot is not full on your next log initialization it will
write to a new slot also.

WB2 SETUP
WB2 LAMBDA SETUP
O2 Out Threshold - .9 -1.1, default value = 1 - Sets up
the Narrowband O2 Out function on the Wideband 2 (green
wire). Changing this value will change the AFR that WB2
switches the narrowband signal around. For example, if using
a value of .95, the WB2 will emulate a narrowband voltage
signal that switches to rich if the Lambda reading is lower
than .95, and lean if the Lambda reading is higher than .95
Lambda Smoothing - smooths, or averages, the AFR and
Lambda channels. Lower values will result in the highest
resolution, minimal latency, and would be preferred in
situation where you are datalogging.
Stoich Value - Predetermined stoichiometric values for
different fuels.
WB2 RPM SETUP
RPM Multiplier - adjusts the RPM multiplier used for the
RPM input on the WB2. In order to acquire an accurate tach
signal reading, you will need to adjust this setting for your
application. This setting is for WB2 only.
Tach Smoothing - smooths the RPM input signal of the
WB2. This setting is useful to stabilize, or dampen the RPM
signal displayed on the WB2.
Tach Signal filter - filters out invalid RPM signal inputs.
This setting can be adjusted if you notice the tach reading
displayed on the WB2 is unstable, spiking, or otherwise
inconsistent.
The following settings are useful for vehicles that have a CDI
(capacitive discharge ignitions) system.
SAMPLING RATE - Choose the sampling rate in
which you want the data to be exported at.
PCV FUEL TRIMS
LOW - Adjust the first third of your RPM range. Use
the + / - symbols to increase/decrease the fuel of this
range by up 20%
MID - Adjust the second third of your RPM range. Use
the + / - symbols to increase/decrease the fuel of this
range by up 20%
HIGH - Adjust the last third of your RPM range. Use
the + / - symbols to increase/decrease the fuel of this
range by up 20%
Example: If your engines RPM range is 12000rpm
LOW=0-4000 MID=4001-8000 HIGH=800112000
These ranges can be adjusted in Control Center Software of Power Core software if desired.
Attenuate Signal - (setting is either active or inactive)
Makes the RPM input signal smaller (less voltage) to filter out
noise. This setting is for WB2 only.
Bias Signal - will bias the entire RPM signal input to a
higher voltage. The ability to activate this feature only appears when “Attenuate Tach Signal” is selected.
Rising Edge - allows the WB2 to measure the rising edge
on the RPM voltage signal.
WB2 ANALOG INPUTS
Allows you to name and configure the 0-5v analog input of
the WB2. Measure your low and high voltages of this signal
and input them accordingly.
USB MODE
Allows the module to be put into PC link mode while the unit
is connected to a running vehicle. This allows you to pull the
logs while vehicle is running.

EXPORTING and VIEWING LOG FILES
Download Power Core software by going to www.dynojet.
com and click on Downloads and go to Software. This will
download the complete Power Core Suite. This module will
use the POD-300 and WinPep 8 Data Center programs.
Once you open the POD-300 program it will automatically
retrieve any logs stored in the module. Click on the log file
you want to export and then click on either:
Export to WinPep8 Data center - Choose output folder
location then click Export CSV. Data Center opens for you.
Click on the NONE on the X and Y axis of the graph to
choose which channels you want to view. Only channels
logged will be shown as an option.
Export to CSV file - saves file to destination file to be
viewed in Microsoft Excel format.
This software also allows you to delete logs from the unit and
update the firmware if needed.
DISPLAY SETTINGS
CONTRAST - Adjust the screen contrast 0-100
BRIGHTNESS - Adjust the brightness of the screen
0-100. This will only be visible when unit has power
from the vehicle.
MODE - Flip the orientation of the screen
