INTRODUCTION
AIM has developed special applications for many of the most common ECU: by special
applications we mean user-friendly systems which allow to easily connect the vehicle ECU
to our hi-tech data loggers: user needs only to install harness between the logger and the
ECU.
Once connected, the logger displays (and/or records, depending on the model and on the
ECU data stream) values like RPM, engine load, throttle position (TPS), air and water
temperatures, battery voltage, speed, gear, lambda value (air/fuel ratio) analog channels...
All AIM loggers include – free of charge – Race Studio 2 software, a powerful tool to
configure the system and analyze recorded data on your PC.
Warning:
once the ECU is connected to the logger, it is necessary to set it in the logger
configuration in Race Studio 2 software. Select Manufacturer “MoTeC” and Model:
“M800-M600-M400” for firmware version up to 2.30S
“M800-M600-M400-1M” for firmware version 2.30S or later
“M800-M600-M400_1M-v3” from firmware version “3.x” onward.
Refer to Race Studio Configuration user manual for further information concerning
the loggers configuration.
As far as any further information concerning ECU firmware/software settings is
concerned, it is always recommended to address to your ECU dealer.

Warning: if MoTeC communication cable is connected to the PC, this last one takes
priority and AIM logger will not receive data. It is thereby strongly recommended to
disconnect MoTeC communication cable after ECU configuration.

With reference to the draw here below, to connect Motec M400-M600-M800 ECU directly
to AIM logger:
• connect AIM cable labelled CAN+ to pin 23 of 26 pins “B” male connector;
• connect AIM cable labelled CAN- to pin 24 of 26 pins “B” male connector;
• connect AIM cable labelled GND to pin 14 of 26 pins “B” male connector.
8 3.2 – Connecting MoTeC ECU using a Deltron connector
It is possible to connect MoTeC M400-M600-M800 ECU to AIM loggers using a DB9
connector and a Deltron connector whose part number, following MoTeC documentation,
is 716-0-0501. To connect the devices:
• connect AIM cable labelled CAN+ to pin 5 of Deltron Connector connected to pin 23
of 26 pins “B” male connector;
• connect AIM cable labelled CAN- to pin 4 of Deltron Connector connected to pin 24
of 26 pins “B” male connector;
• connect AIM cable labelled GND to pin 1 of Deltron Connector connected to pin 5 of
DB9 connector connected to pin 14 of 26 pins “B” male connector.
Warning: in case this second connection does not work, please address to MoTeC
or to one of its dealers for further information.
