Warning!

1) The Oxygen Sensor used with this device gets very hot in
operation. Do not touch the hot sensor. Do not let a hot sensor
touch a combustible surface. Do not use the sensor with or near
flammable liquids or gases. Failure to heed these warnings may
result in severe burns, explosions or fires. 2) When installed in
the exhaust, the oxygen sensor MUST be connected and
operating with the LC-1 whenever the car is running. An un­powered oxygen sensor will be quickly damaged when exposed
to hot exhaust gases.

LC-1 (Lambda Cable)

QUICK START GUIDE

1. The LC-1 has 6 stripped wires. The RED wire should be connected

to a switched 12V power source, make sure the connection is
fused with a minimum fuse size of 5A. The BLUE and WHITE
wires should all be grounded to the same ground source.
Optimally, these will be soldered to the same lug, and connected
to a single point. When this isn’t possible, connect each one to a
separate lug, and attach in close proximity. Multiple lugs on the
same bolt is not optimal, and can result in unwanted signal
“noise.” When possible, soldering is always better than crimping.

2. Optionally, the YELLOW (Analog out 1) and/or BROWN (Analog

out 2) can be connected to the analog inputs of other devices such
as data loggers, gauges, etc.

3. Connect the LED and momentary pushbutton between the LC-1’s

BLACK calibration wire and ground. Connect the red wire (Anode)

of the included LED AND one side of the push button to the
calibration wire (black) of the LC-1. Connect the black wire
(Cathode) of the LED AND the other side of the push button to
ground (preferably to the same ground point as the blue and white
wires.) Refer to the schematic below.

Note: The LED will fit a 5/32” (0.155” - 0.158”) hole size and a
panel thickness of 28–16gauge (0.031” - 0.062”).

Sensor Calibration

4. Do not connect the O2 sensor to the LC-1 or in to the exhaust

yet.

5. Switch 12V supply to the LC-1 ON and wait for 20 seconds. The

LED will flash a two blink sequence during this time.

6. Switch the 12V supply OFF after 20 seconds.

7. Connect the sensor to the LC-1’s sensor interface connector but

do not put the sensor in the exhaust. The sensor must be
exposed to free air for the first time calibration.

8. Switch the 12V supply to the LC-1 ON. The LED will first blink

slowly and steadily indicating that the sensor is warming up. The
LED will then start a faster blinking sequence indicating a Heater
calibration.

9. Once the LED is lit steadily, press and hold the push button for 30

seconds. During this period the LED will go off. Once the button is
released the LED light will come back on The LC-1 will now
calibrate itself by using air as a reference gas with known oxygen

content.
After the free air calibration is finished the LED should light up steady
and continuously, indicating correct operation of the LC-1.

10. Install the O2 sensor in the exhaust. The system is ready for use.

Programming analog outputs

1. Connect the terminator plug (2.5mm

male plug with no cable) into the Serial
IN connection of the LC-1.

2. Connect the 2.5mm stereo to DB-9
cable to the serial OUT port of the LC-1.

3. Launch LM Programmer
The default analog outputs are as follows: Analog output one (yellow)

is 1.1V = 14 AFR and .1V = 15 AFR. This is a simulated narrowband
signal. Analog output two (brown) is setup as 0V = 7.35 AFR and 5V =

22.39 AFR.
