Introduction

Congratulation buying the SM3. The circuit is based on

Megasquirt 3. It was refined build 100% AEC-Q100 compliant
and IP65 grade! A KPerformance Wideband Lambda
Controller is also part of the SM3 ECU. 1 Bosch LSU 4.9
sensor can be connected directly without the need to buy a
extra controller. Even a optional Oled-display can be
connected to visual see Lambda and temp values of the
sensor. (4.2 can also be connected with small resistor
changes)

Included in Delivery

 SM3 ECU

 USB cable pre-crimped

 User manual

 ECU Connectors pins and cover

Software

OnBoard Bleutooth(optional)

Its Pre-configured and ready to use simulating a serial RS232

connection.

Name: SM3 with pin: 1234 or 0000

USB Port

The USB port of the SM3 is equipped with 8kV ESD protection
of VBUS and Data lines. The data chip and ESD protection is
"USB powered". This simplifies and optimizes the start-up
behaviour significantly when you restart the ignition, the PC
wont download the USB driver each time. The USB chip is of
course downwards compatible, which means it can be used
both with USB 3.0, 2.0 and 1.

To achieve maximum water tightness IP65 grade we pre-

crimp the USB on to the ECU connector.

Electrical connections

Like all other voltage supplied parts - must be preceded by a

fuse in function of cable section.

Recommended cable types:

 Ignition: min 1.5 mm²

 Injection: min 1.5 mm²

 VR sensor: min 0.5 mm²

 shielded Sensors: min 0.5 mm²

 Others: min 0.75 mm²

Fuses

Recommend ed input fuse for protecting the SM3 :

-3A slow blow single lambda

-5A slow blow dual lambda

A automated 5A PTC SMD fuse is integrated on the board. It

will reset itself after cooling down/solving issue or short
circuit.

Pin numbering is also marked on both plastic connectors

-Spare “Power Input “pins can also be used to power low

current devices as HALL, Boost,Idle -valves etc

-DirectCPU pins have no safety nor short circuit protection!

Be carefull using these pins.

Pulling down to ground is safest way to use any digital input

Engine Speed Measurement

The SM3 supports VR, Hall and Optical engine speed sensors.
VR sensors inputs:

 CRANK: VR-1N&VR-1P

 CAM: VR-2N&VR-2P

!Rising Edge trigger is most accurate for VR-type sensor !

Hall & Optical inputs:

 CRANK: VR-1N

 CAM: VR-2N

Leave VR-1P & VR-2P floating (do not connect Positive side)

Throttle Position Sensor

The throttle potentiometer is connected up by a 3-wire

cable. +5V and GND are connected to the outer static pins of
the potentiometer. The corresponding calibration is done
under TunerStudio via “Tools” – “Calibrate TPS”

Digital Input

There are digital inputs that can be used for example as

“Launch Control”. The corresponding function has to be
defined in Tunerstudio. Digital inputs preferably pull to
ground.

Never connect more than 5V on any input!

Progammable Pins

There are PINS that can be user programmed as INPUT or

OUTPUT and has to be defined in Tunerstudio.

Never connect more than 5V on any input!

Programmable Outputs

There are High Current GND-OUTPUTS these can be user

programmed and has to be defined in Tunerstudio.

Idle Speed Controller

The SM3 supports both the 2-pin and the 3-pin idle speed
controller. Pin connections of the idle speed control:

2-pin: +12V & FDLO

3-pin: +12V & FDLO (open) & FDLC (closed)

10

Ignition

The ignition coils can be activated directly by the integrated

power drivers. We recommend using a shielded multi-
conductor cable for connection. The SM3 is equipped with 6
power drivers enabling sequential activation of 6 passive
ignition coils or 12 in wasted spark. We designed the outputs
so it’s possible to trigger 6 Passive coils OR 6 smart coils by
using the correct ECU connector output pins!

 6x Passive Coils Power Ignition outputs (Ground

Activated Coils)

 6x Smart Coils Ignition Outputs (5V TTL Activated

Coils)

Do not connect/use both Ignition methods at the

same time!
Spare un-used Ignition outputs can be used as
additional programmable outputs.

TTL level outputs = smart coils

High Power IGN outputs = passive coils

We prefer active coils to keep high feedback voltages

out of the SM3 ECU!

12V powering of coils and injectors is done by relays,

PMU, switches etc ,never via the ECU pins!

11
 SM3 ECU r1.2 User Manual Kperformance

Injection

There are 6 injector outputs (INJ1-6) ; The injection valves are

supplied with +12 V via the ignition switch and the ground
wires of the injectors are activated via the SM3 ECU

Attention:

The setting whether the injection valves are of high

or of low resistance has to be entered in Basic
Settings” – “Injector Characteristics” strictly before
the first test run because wrong settings can cause
destruction of the injection valves or of the SM3.

Starting values (no guarantee):

High impedance: PWM Current Limit (%): 100 PWM

Time Threshold (ms): 25.5

Low impedance: PWM Current Limit (%): 30 PWM

Time Threshold (ms): 1.5

12V powering of coils and injectors is done by relays,

PMU, switches etc ,never via the ECU pins!

Onboard Wideband Lambda Controller

A Bosch LSU 4.9 sensor can be connected directly without the

need to buy a further controller. (4.2 can also be connected
with 2 small resistor changes) Even an optional I2C Oled-
display can be connected to visual see Lambda and temp
values of the sensor. (SDA CLK 5V GND)

Calibration data TUNERSTUDIO custom linear

wideband:

0V= AFR 22.39

5V= AFR 7.39

Starting of the Lambda controller is done by

software grounding selecting :

Output “Ignition G/O2controller” with is optional

customer requirements settings.

Not grounding the output will result in standby

lambda controller(s).

Onboard Knock

The knock IC uses a purpose designed dual knock

sensing amplifier chip to filter knock signals.

Inputs Knock1 & GND & Knock2

Onboard EGT

The EGT IC uses a purpose designed amplifier chip to filter K-

type sensor signals and uses AD6 input.

Optional pre-crimped K-thermocouple connection kit

available

CAN Bus

Like for Megasquirt the CAN Bus hardware is populated on

the board, but has to be programmed accordingly by the user
if desired. For further information on this item please read
the respective Megasquirt /MSextra websites.
