Product Usage Instructions

USB Port
The USB port of the SM3+ Module is equipped with 8kV ESD protection for VBUS and Data lines. The USB chip is USB powered, which simplifies the start- up behavior. Any standard USB cable can be used as a connection cable, preferably with a FERRIT core to avoid ESD spikes.

Electrical Connections

Introduction

Congratulation for buying the SM3+. The circuit is based on MegaSquirt 3 and pinout of the KdFi1.4 modules. Making the SM3 backwards compatible with the MS2 KdFi1.4 users and boards. It was refined and build 100% AEC-Q100 compliant. A KPerformance Wideband Lambda Controller is also part of the SM3 board. A Bosch LSU 4.9 sensor can be connected directly without a extra controller.

Included in Delivery

SM3+ Module and/or additional PCB
USB plug*
User manual
Molex connector,inserts & solder header

Software
Recommended tuning software TUNERSTUDIO and/or Megalog viewer

USB Driver
The onboard FTDI chip simulates a serial RS232 connection:
TunerStudio – Communications – Settings: USB and Wireless (only in registered Version), Auto, 115200 Baud

USB Port
The USB port of the SM3 is equipped with 8kV ESD protection of VBUS and Data lines. The data chip and ESD protection is “USB powered”. This simplifies the start-up behaviour significantly when you restart the ignition, the PC wont download the USB driver each time. The USB chip is downwards compatible, it can be used both with USB 3.0, 2.0 and 1. Each standard USB cable can be used as connection cable, but preferable with FERRIT core further avoiding ESD spikes.

Electrical connections
Like all other voltage supplied parts – must be preceded by a fuse in function of cable section.

Recommended cable types :

Ignition: min 1.5 mm²
Injection: min 1.5 mm²
VR sensor: min 0.5 mm²
Shielded Sensors: min 0.35 mm²
Others: min 0.35 mm²

Fuses
Recommend using a 3A fuse for protecting the SM3. A automated 5A PTCC fuse is integrated on the board. It will reset itself after cooling down/solving issue or short circuit.

Engine Speed Measurement

Please use the DIP switches(Retro-Fit KdFi v1.4 boards) to select the type of inputs you need.
Switches 1 and 2 are for the primary input which can also be the CAM signal e.g. in the distributor if you don´t have a Cranksignal.
Switches 3 and 4 are for the second input if you use crank (1) and cam (2) input. Please do not activate VR and HALL for one sensor at the same time. This will not work properly.

VR Sensor The measurement via VR sensor is the most widespread way in Europe for car engines. An AC voltage is induced in the coil of the VR sensor by a trigger wheel with 60-2 or 36-1 tooth.
HALL sensor may require a pull-up resistor of 1k to 10k ohm between signal-out and +5V.

Throttle Potentiometer
The throttle potentiometer is connected up by a 3-wire cable. +5V and GND are connected to the outer static pins of the potentiometer. The voltage relating to the throttle position is tapped via the sliding contact and connected to the input TPS
(Throttle Position Sensor). The covered distance of the potentiometer may be longer than the rotation of the throttle axle. The corresponding calibration is done via “Tools” – “Calibrate TPS”

Digital Inputs
There are digital inputs that can be used for example as “Launch Control”. The corresponding function has to be defined in TunerStudio.

Spare CPU pins
BE very careful when using these !!Direct CPU Pins!! they have no RC-filtering nor safety components. Incorrect usage can destroy CPU inputs,
Preferable use GND activated inputs

Analog Inputs
There are analog inputs that can be used for example as“Additional temp”. The corresponding function has to be defined in TunerStudio.

Idle Speed Controller (Fidle)
The SM3 supports both the 2-pin and the 3-pin idle speed valves.

Pin connections of the idle speed control:

2- pin: +12V & FDLO
3- pin: +12V & FDLO (open) & FDLC (closed)

The FDLO & FDLC are automatic inverted on the PCB, use Fidle control under TunerStudio,

Ignition
The ignition coils can be activated by the integrated power drivers in combination with bottom PCB equipped with 4-5or6 power drivers enabling sequential activation of passive ignition coils.

Injection
There are 6 injector outputs (INJ1-6) ; The injection valves are supplied with +12 V via the ignition switch and the ground wires of the injectors are activated via the SM3

Attention:
The setting whether the injection valves are of high or of low resistance has to be entered in Basic Settings” –“Injector Characteristics” strictly before the first test run because wrong settings can cause destruction of the injection valves or of the SM3a.

Starting values (no guarantee):

High impedance: PWM Current Limit (%): 100 PWM Time Threshold (ms): 25.5
Low impedance: PWM Current Limit (%): 30 PWM Time Threshold (ms): 1.5

Bluetooth or Wifi Connection
Optional bleutooth or wifi connection only in combination with Full SM3+ ECU

Onboard Wideband Lambda Controller
A Bosch LSU 4.9 sensor can be connected directly without the need to buy a further controller.

Calibration data TUNERSTUDIO custom linear wideband:

0V = Lambda 10.20 = AFR 22.35
4V = Lambda 0.650 = AFR 9.50

Starting of the controller can be done by grounding GP2(left solder bridge) via dipswitch (Retro-Fit KdFi v1.4 boards) or software-wise by selecting Output “Ignition G”(right solder bridge) with customer requirements setting. Ie start lambda controller after 30sec of engine start under tuner studio
Not grounding GP2 will result in a standby lambda controller.

Onboard Knock
The knock IC uses a purpose-designed knock-sensing amplifier chip to filter knock signals.

Knock Wiring

Knock Sensor1-> Knock1 ECU input and ECU ground Knock Sensor2-> Knock2 ECU input and ECU ground

Onboard datalogging
The board is equipped with 1Gb of onboard SMD-sized memory.
Ready to be used under SD datalogging menu

Onboard RTC (real time clock)
The board is equipped with a very accurate RTC, giving the possibility to add ‘time stamps’ to the onboard data logging feature!
Making data logs easier to read, easier fault and/or tuning improvements.

CAN Bus
Like MegaSquirt the CAN Bus hardware is populated on the board, but has to be programmed accordingly by the user if desired. For further information on this item please read the respective Megasquirt /MSextra websites.
