Installation:
Grounding:
The ECU must have an electrically secure ground connection, which means that the battery
negative must be properly grounded to the chassis AND engine. The ground wire, whether it is
from the battery or to the chassis and engine, must have perfect electrical conductivity. This
means that there must not be any paint or rust under the wire terminal. Make sure that when
you install the ground wire there is bare metal exposed where the wire contacts the vehicle
component. Both of black wires should be connected to secure ground and we also recommend
that the ground wire be as short as possible.

Power Requirement:
The SEM103 requires a minimum supply voltage of 10V or greater to run. We recommend that
the ECU be supplied with 13.8V nominal operating voltage. Ensure that the vehicle‟s charging
system is in perfect operating condition prior to installation. The red wire should be connected to
ignition switched and fused to the battery source.

Sensors Reference Voltage:

The SEM103 has one 5V sensor voltage supply that will be needed during standalone
installation. The pink wire output has resettable fuse rated at 0.5A max

Trigger Inputs:
SEM103 has two differential trigger input crank input+ and crank input- for the Crank signal and
cam input+ and cam input- for the CAM signal. Each one has an option to be connected as
differential or as single input. The following table summarize trigger connection:
 Mode Connection

Opto  Input Signal to Input+

Input  Leave Input- unconnected.

 Connect VR Sensor to Input+/Input- for Standalone connection

VR
 Connect VR+ Sensor to Input+ and leave Input- unconnected for
Sensor
Piggyback connection.

 Connect Hall sensor (Collector/Drain) to Input+, Close CRK/CAM UP

Hall jumper for pull-up resistor for standalone connection.
Input  Connect Hall sensor to Input+ for piggyback connection.
 Leave Input- unconnected.

There are 2 jumpers for each trigger input. The CRK UP/CAM UP jumper is for connect the
input signal to 10K ohm pull up resistor in case if using open drain senor.
