ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Precautions
ESD is the multi thousand volt zap you feel when get out of your car on a dry day. This ESD zap
can damage electronic devices and should be discharged prior to handling any electronic device.
To prevent ESD, follow the steps below when installing, removing or handling the Tuner:
1. Always turn off the ignition before removing or installing the Tuner.
2. Handle the Tuner as little as possible.
3. Transport and store the Tuner in a static-protected bag or container.
4. Do not slide the Tuner over any surface.
5. Wear a grounded antistatic wrist strap to discharge the static voltage from your body while
installing or removing the Tuner or, discharge yourself by touching an exposed metal chassis
point which is grounded.
6. Do not touch the connector pins of the Tuner.
7. Avoid handling the Tuner in areas that have floor or work-surface covering capable of
generating a static charge.

INSTALLATION & SETUP
2.1
Wiring & Tuner Installation
2.1.1
Installing the O2 Sensor
Guidelines on locating and installing the sensor
•
Do not install the sensor where condensation may pool in the exhaust pipe. Install the
sensor at the side of the pipe to avoid having excessive moisture enter into the sensor.
•
Avoid mounting the sensor where the cables may get damaged from scraping moving
parts, or contacting the ground while the vehicle is in motion. Keep cables away from hot
exhaust parts.
•
The O2 sensor is equipped with a heater circuit that will maintain a 750c internal
temperature. If the sensor is too hot or too cold it will loose accuracy. Take note of
exhaust gas temperatures and ensure that the sensor is installed in a location where
those exhaust temperatures are significantly less then the required 750c internal
operating temperature.
•
There should not be any catalytic converters between the O2 sensor and the exhaust
ports on the head. If the vehicle is turbocharged the o2 sensor should be installed after
the turbine discharge, but before the first catalytic converter.
•
Take note of the long flexible tube that is attached to the O2 sensor and ends just before
the main connector. This must not be crimped.
•
When installed in the exhaust system the O2 sensor must be connected and powered via
the Tuner. If installed without the heater circuit powered the O2 sensor will be damaged.
•
When used with leaded racing gasoline you will greatly shorten the life of the O2 sensor.
•
See Appendix D for further installation instructions as taken from the Bosch LSU4 install
document.
2.1.2
Installing the Knock Sensor
Guidelines on installing the knock sensor
•
Ensure the knock sensor is in contact with the engine block.
•
Avoid locating sensor near mechanical parts that could generate noise that may mask the
sound of detonation.
•
Ideally you should install the knock sensor in close proximity to the stock knock sensor.
•
Do not replace your stock knock sensor with the supplied sensor.

Terminal Program
Ensure that HyperTerminal™ or a VT100 emulator program is installed on your PC or laptop. If
you are using HyperTerminal, ™ it is typically located in the
Programs\Accessories\Communications folder that is accessed from the Start menu.
HyperTerminal™ is included as part of your Windows™ Operating System. If it is not installed,
you may need to install it from your Windows™ CD or download the freeware from
http://www.hilgraeve.com/htpe/download.html.
Note: The Tuner uses the same HyperTerminal connection as the TurboXS UTEC. If
you already have a shortcut that works with the UTEC, you do not need to setup
another HyperTerminal session.
2.2.1
1.
Using HyperTerminal
Start up HyperTerminal™ from the Start menu as shown in the following figure.
7
2.
HyperTerminal™ should ask you whether you want to create a “new connection” as
shown in the following figure.
8
3. Enter a name for the “new connection” as shown in the following figure.
4.
HyperTerminal™ will ask you what you want to “connect to”. Select the appropriate
serial communications port as shown in the following figure and click “OK”.
Note: Most USB to serial Adaptors use Com4. Check your USB to serial port
adaptor documentation for further information.
5.
Configure the serial port to 19200 baud, 8 bit, one stop bits, no parity, no control flow
as shown in the following figure.

2.3.3
Sensor Temperature Warnings
The Bosch LSU4 sensor is calibrated to give accurate air-fuel ratio readings when the sensor is
within its operating temperature. In normal operation, an internal heater element in the sensor
controls the temperature.
If the sensor is placed in an environment where the internal heater cannot regulate the
temperature correctly, the accuracy of the air-fuel ratio readings may be compromised. When the
sensor falls outside of the temperature range, the tuner will give and indication by flashing the
decimal point.
The decimal point will flash quickly (approximately twice a second) when the sensor is above its
recommended temperature threshold. The decimal point will flash slowly (approximately once a
second) when the sensor is below its recommended temperature threshold.
2.4
Standalone with PC Terminal
1. Startup HyperTerminal.
2. Connect the serial cable attached to the serial connection on the Tuner marked “HT” to
the serial connector on the PC or Laptop.
3. Turn the +12V power ON.
13
4. The three LEDs (Red, Yellow, Blue/Green) should all light. The LED Display should start
a count down sequence. A similar countdown will be displayed on HyperTerminal. This
is the warming up mode of the Tuner.
5. Once the Tuner has reached zero it will then switch to normal mode and the LED display
will read the AFR. The display can be switched to display Lambda in the User Constants
Menu accessed using a Laptop and HyperTerminal.
6. The HyperTerminal screen will show the Home Menu.

Main Data display
15
2.4.2.1 Analogue Inputs
The Tuner Analogue inputs can accommodate a voltage signal from 0 to 16V.
The analogue input voltage is displayed only on the Data Display page. On all other pages, a
scaled value is displayed that is scaled according to the input voltage. To display input voltage in
the scaled value, set the 0V scaling value to 0, and the 5V scaling value to 5.
For example;
If you have a 3 bar absolute 5V MAP sensor and you want to display it in gauge pressure. i.e.
with the engine off the reading should be approximately 0 bar. Set 0V scale to –1, set 5V to 2.
2.4.2.2 Digital Inputs
The Tuner digital input can accommodate digital signals ranging from 0 to 5V however signals up
to 12V can be used.
Digital Input 1 is reserved for RPM measurement. It is suggested that one of the following
common ECU signals be used;
Engine speed or Tacho
Ignition signal (NOT HIGH VOLTAGE SIDE)
Crank or cam signal
Three values are displayed for each digital input:
1. State – The state of the input. An ‘H’ state is displayed when a voltage higher than
approximately 2.7V is present on the input. An ‘L’ state is displayed when a voltage lower
than 2.5V is present on the input.
2. Frequency – When the digital input is a pulsed signal, the frequency of the signal is
displayed. The minimum frequency is 5Hz and the maximum is 12kHz.
3. Duty – When the digital input is a pulsed square wave input, the duty cycle of the input
waveform is displayed. The Data Display page shows both the percentage of when the
signal is low as well as high. When only one duty cycle figure is displayed (such as in the
data log or replay), the value represents the percentage of time that the signal is low.
2.4.2.3 AFR and Lambda Displays
When AFR readings are within the range of 0.61 Lambda to 1.7 Lambda, the AFR and Lambda
readings will display the value measured.

2.4.2.4 Free Air Display
The PC Terminal displays will give a free air indication in the Data Display when the sensor is in
free air. This is used to assess if a free air calibration is required. If the sensor is placed into free
air for approx. 30 seconds, and the Fr.A message does not display, then the Tuner may require a
Free Air Calibration. The Fr.A indication is available on the LED display when DIP SW 2 is in the
down position.
16
This is not displayed in the data logger or replay, which will show the appropriate lean indication.
2.4.2.5 Error and Diagnostics Displays

Once you find a threshold level that keeps the knock count at 0 reduce that value by 5 to
10.
2.5
UTEC Operation
In UTEC Operation mode, the Tuner must be connected to the UTEC using a regular RS232
serial cable via the UTEC serial port on the back of the Tuner. The UTEC must be booted and
running before the Tuner warm-up phase finishes. The Tuner will then detect the presence of
a UTEC if it is connected and functioning. An additional option to switch between the Tuner and
the UTEC will be available on the screen when the UTEC has been detected.
24
The Tuner will start with the user interface in UTEC mode. In this mode, all the screens and
controls will be that of the UTEC, with additional Tuner information displayed in the Dashboard,
Logger and Replay.
Pressing ‘t’ will switch the user interface to display the Tuner menus and Tuner user interface.
This interface is similar to standalone Tuner operation.
25
When in Tuner mode, the menu will change to display an option to switch back to UTEC mode.
Pressing ‘u’ will change the mode back to UTEC mode, and all the UTEC menu options will be
available.
2.5.1
UTEC dashboard with wideband
When in UTEC mode, displaying the UTEC dashboard will show the usual UTEC Dashboard
data, along with the wideband AFR reading from the Tuner in the row labelled WB AFR. The
Tuner wideband value is displayed on the Dashboard in AFR mode only (not Lambda).
When the Tuner WB O2 sensor is installed and operating correctly, the UTEC AFR row will read
“W/B”.
If a sensor fault is detected, the Tuner display “-----“ in the WB AFR row. The UTEC data will be
displayed in the AFR row and will not be overwritten with “W/B” since no valid wideband data is
available. A ‘C’ or a ‘H’ character will flash next to the WB AFR value if the sensor is overly cold
or overly hot.
2.5.2
UTEC logger with wideband
When in UTEC mode, displaying the UTEC dashboard will show the usual UTEC Dashboard
data, along with the wideband AFR reading from the Tuner.
26
The UTEC logger displays with the wideband AFR in the last column. If an existing UTEC AFR
value exists, it is overwritten with W/B to avoid confusion.
If a sensor fault is detected, the UTEC data will be displayed while the Tuner will fill in “-----“ for
the invalid wideband data. The UTEC data will be displayed instead and will not be overwritten
with W/B when no wideband data is available.
2.5.3
UTEC replay with wideband
While the Logger (data1) or Dashboard is running, the UTEC will log its data, while the Tuner will
log the wideband AFR data. When Replay is selected while in UTEC mode, the data is combined
and displayed in the replay logger.
27
If the Tuner is reset without the UTEC being reset, then logged data in the UTEC will be
available, but the corresponding wideband data in the Tuner will be lost. In this situation, the
UTEC data will be displayed while the Tuner will fill in “-----“ for the invalid wideband data. The
UTEC data will be displayed instead and will not be overwritten with W/B when no wideband data
is available.
28
2.6
Free Air Calibration
The Tuner utilizes the calibration resistor fitted to the Bosch sensor however for the best accuracy
the Tuner and O2 Sensor should be given a free air calibration when you first receive it.
A free air calibration must be performed if you have performed a free air calibration previously
and have a need to change the O2 sensor.
As the O2 sensor ages (over several months), the Tuner can perform a Free Air Calibration to
help bring the calibration back into alignment with the sensor. The calibration is performed with
the sensor warmed up in Free Air that has a known quantity of oxygen under normal atmospheric
conditions.
For best results with a free air calibration, the sensor must be removed from any exhaust and be
completely in free air and at operating temperature. It is important that the surrounding air is not
contaminated with exhaust air such as in a workshop with running engines. Allow the sensor to
warm up, and allow at least 1 minute after sensor warm-up before performing a free air calibration
to ensure the best temperature stability for taking the reading. Be careful when handling the
sensor while it warming up as it can get quite hot (remember that the sensor itself is heated to
over 700°C). It is best to rest the sensor on something that is heat resistant or let it hang in the
air.
2.6.1
1.
Calibration via DIP Switches
Free air calibration is initiated using DIP Switch 3. In normal operation this should be
in the UP position. When switched to the DOWN position, Free Air calibration starts.
2. The LED display shows C.A.L. with dots flashing. The dots flash while the Tuner
checks for the temperature to be stable.
3. The Tuner will wait up to 30 seconds for the temperature to stabilize
4. If the temperature stabilizes, then the LED display will show the calibration value.
This value is typically between 235 and 275. Returning the switch to the up position
will return to normal operation.
5. If the temperature fails to stabilize, Er1 will be displayed.
6. If the temperature stabilizes, but the sensor gives a reading less than 200, then the
calibration will fail with Er2. This is typically because the sensor is not in pure free air,
such as the case if it is left in an exhaust, even if the engine is not running. Breathing
on the sensor will alter its reading, so free air calibration is quite sensitive.
2.6.2
Calibration via PC Terminal
1. Free air calibration is selected from the menu Edit->User Settings->Free Air
Calibration.
2. Screen shows instructions and flashes the ‘twirly’ character while it waits for
temperature to stabilize.
3. Conditions are the same as for DIP Switch initiated calibrations. Errors will be
displayed on screen in plain text with description of the errors.
4. Successful calibration will display a value that is the same value that would have
been displayed on the LED display in a DIP Switch initiated calibration.

REPROGRAMMING TROUBLESHOOTING
1.
Most programming errors are due to the following:
A. The serial cable being loose or defective. Replace or secure cable.
B. Another program, such as HyperTerminal™, HotSync, M16 Flash or other
communication program is using the serial port. Close all other programs before
trying to reprogram your UTEC.
C. Dipswitch 4 has not been switched to the DOWN position prior to power up. Shut
car off, reset dipswitch, restart reprogramming.
2.
If the program fails to load, try reducing the maximum baud rate on the serial flash
loader program.
