Analog Channel Configuration of Ride Height Sensors
Note : Please follow the below instruction for all the ride height sensors analog channel configuration.
Step To Calibrate :
- After installation place the vehicle on a level surface
- Set the Analog calibration to 0-5v simple linear scaling
- At rest, note the voltage of the sensor. This is the zero level.
- Raise and safely support the corner of the vehicle and remove the spring.
- Move the suspension arm to full droop. Note actual inches / mm traveled and also note the voltage logged by RaceCapture/Pro
- Move the suspension arm to full compression. Note actual inches / mm and also note the voltage logged by RaceCapture/Pro
Create Calibration Table:
- Place the droop voltage / distance combination into the 1st column of the calibration table. Make the distance negative
- Place the 'at rest' voltage into the 2nd column of the calibration table. Make the distance zero
- Place the compression voltage / distance into the 3rd column of the calibration table. Make the distance positive
- Repeat the compression voltage / distance values for the 4th and 5th columns
