Part No: #18047

OVERVIEW

The L180 Enclosed Logger is a powerful control device and fully programmable data logger all in one compact unit. It comes standard with 250 MB internal memory and can be upgraded to USB Logging for additional data capacity and flexability. The USB Logging upgrade also increases the internal memory to 500 MB.

The L180 acquires data from other devices, such as an ECU, for logging and telemetry. It can be used in a wide range of applications as a standalone logger, or intergrated with other electronic devices such as displays and PDMs.

ECU WIRING

When using an M4, M48 or M8 ECU, the L180 should be connected via RS232. For some ECUs, a PCI cable may also be required.

The Display Logger should be connected via the CAN bus when using an M1 or ‘hundred series’ ECU(M400/M600/M800/M880) or M84, and any number of other CAN devices. Example:

Detailed wiring information is available in the help topics of the C185 Dash Manager software at https://www.motec.com.au/downloads

DIMENSIONS AND MOUNTING

Measurements in mm.

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.
