WIRING Detailed wiring information is available in the User Manual at

https://www.motec.com.au/downloads
The Display Logger should be connected via the CAN bus to any
current MoTeC ECU and any number of other CAN devices. See When using older MoTeC ECUs like M4/M48/M8, the
the following example. Display Logger should be connected via RS232. For some
ECUs, a PCI cable may also be required.

DIMENSIONS AND MOUNTING

Measurements in mm.

For P/N 18048 dimensions please refer to CDS18048.

Note: Do not remove any part of the casing. The case provides electromagnetic screening to avoid interference with other
equipment, and is also essential for thermal management. Thermal management may be compromised if mounted in a confined space,
refer to the operating temperature specifications. Ensure product is not stressed when mounted.
