Auxiliary Output Channels 13-16

These are high current Half bridge drivers which switch either to ground or 14V i.e. they do not have a high impedance or OFF state. When the ECU is powered OFF these Auxiliary Channels by default will be switching to ground. This means:

1. Solenoids or relays connected to these outputs should not use a constant or hot battery feed.
2. During the ECU powerup sequence, any solenoid or relay connected to these outputs should have a managed power feed to avoid momentary switching during powerup.

Analog Sensor 0V Reference (Pin C17, C25)

These pins should be connected directly to the 0V (Ground) pin on any low current analog sensor, for example Pressure or Temperature.

• DO NOT connect the ECU pins C17, C25 directly to the Engine Block or ECU Ground. These are dedicated and specialised ground outputs for all analog channels and should be connected directly to the sensor.
• DO NOT connect frequency-based sensors to these pins; for example, an Ethanol content sensor. The sensor 0V pin should be connected to the ECU ground.

Half Bridge Driver Power Supply Inputs (Pin D20, D2)

Pin D20 is a dedicated power supply for Auxiliary Channels 9-12. Power must be supplied to this pin for these channels to operate correctly. In non-DBW (Drive by Wire) applications the ECU Supply power can be shared, assuming the wire gauge has a sufficient rating for the current demand. In DBW applications power to this pin MUST come from an ECU controlled DBW Relay.

Pin D2 is a dedicated power supply for Auxiliary Channels 13-16. Power must be supplied to this pin for these Auxiliary channels to operate correctly.

2. During the ECU powerup sequence, any solenoid or relay connected to these outputs should have a managed power feed to avoid momentary switching during powerup.

Constant 14V Supply/Backup (Pin C53)

This pin has two features:

1) Flywheeling for Auxiliary Channels 1-8.  Any Inductive energy will be sent to the “Constant 14V Supply” pin. To minimise any EMI and allow solenoid current recirculation to operate correctly this pin should be connected to a constant power supply.  If this pin is left unconnected the back EMF will be clamped at 45V.

2) Internal ECU EFI Relay function.  When power is removed from pins " ECU 14V Supply" the ECU automatically switches to the “Constant 14V Supply” to keep the ECU powered.   This will allow the ECU to complete critical tasks before shutting itself down (for example, DBW Self calibration and ECU Logging data storage).

To enable this function, set the EFI Relay Control Channel to “Internal EFI Relay Ctrl”

NOTE: With a Constant 14V supply wired, the ECU draws no additional current when OFF.

Analog Sensor 0V Reference (Pin C28, C29, C30, C31)

As the name indicates these should be connected directly to the 0V (Ground) pin on any low current analog sensor, for example Pressure or Temperature.

• DO NOT connect these pins directly to the Engine Block or ECU Ground. These are dedicated and specialised ground outputs for all analog channels and should be connected directly to the sensor.
• DO NOT connect frequency-based sensors to this ground; for example, an Ethanol content sensor. Use either the Digital Input Ground Out pin (A31) or the main ECU ground.

Appendix B – Shadow Series ECU Wiring

Shadow 8 Power Distribution Wiring

Shadow Power Supply System

The Shadow 8 power supply system has been designed to allow flexibility on how the ECU manages power-up and power-down sequencing.

The real advantage is on the power-down sequence, allowing the ECU to power-down once all pending tasks have been completed. This effectively acts as an internal Hold Power System.

ECU Supply (Pin A1)

Pin A1 is the main power supply into the ECU .

Battery Constant Supply (Pin B1)

ALL Auxiliary flywheel control is directed to the pin; therefore, this pin MUST always have power connected.

Note: The ECU draws zero current once completely shut down.

Aux 9-12 (Half Bridge) Driver Power Supply (Pin B26)

Pin B26 is a dedicated power supply for Auxiliary Channels 9-12. Power must be supplied to this pin for these channels to operate correctly.

In non-DBW (Drive by Wire) applications the ECU Supply can be shared, assuming the wire gauge has a sufficient rating for the current demand.

ECU Power Supply Wiring

The ECU power supply can be configured in one of two ways; both options assume constant power is fed to pin B1.

OPTION A – Power Supply Pin Controlled

This is the main option for ECU Power Supply control.

Power-On

Power to the ECU Supply pin A1 can be switched ON using a PDM or from an Ignition switch controlled relay. When the ECU detects power on this pin, it will power up.

Power-Off

When the ECU Supply falls below 6.0V the ECU enters a Shutdown Sequence and uses the Constant Supply to remain ON during this process.

The ECU uses the time value from the “EFI Relay OFF table” to determine Power-down. However, the following tasks will prevent an ECU power-down:

• ECU CAL file Store in progress
• ECU Datalogging Store in progress
• Emtune connected. (Emtune must be disconnected for the ECU to power-down)

Once the ECU has completed all shut down tasks, and the EFI Relay OFF Delay time has elapsed, the ECU will power-down.

ECU Settings

The following settings must be configured for this mode to operate.

1. Ignition Switch Source Input selected to OFF

2. EFI Relay OFF Time

OPTION B – Ignition Switch Pin Controlled

This mode should only be used when the ECU needs to control an external EFI Relay, normally in OEM applications.

Power-On

This option uses the Ignition Switch Input, shared with DI10(Pin B21) to power-up the ECU.

When Ignition Switch Input Pin B21 is > 6.0V, the internal circuity will turn the ECU ON using the Battery Constant supply.

Once powered on, the ECU can switch/control an external OEM EFI relay using one of the ECU outputs.

For example, Aux 8 could be configured as a High Side Output, suppling power to a relay coil and turning it ON, which in turn supplies power to the ECU Pin A1.

Power-Off

When the Ignition Switch falls below 6.0V the ECU enters the Shutdown Sequence. The same shutdown conditions apply as outlined in Option A.

ECU Settings

The following settings must be configured for this mode to operate.

1. Ignition Switch Source Input selected to Dedicated – Ign -Sw. In this case this input is shared with DI10.

2. EFI Relay OFF Time

IMPORTANT NOTE

Regardless of the ECU’s settings, a high input on DI10 will cause the ECU to power up. Care should be taken to not unintentionally supply power to this pin.
