INPUT ACCESSORY GUIDE

DYNOJET PC6 17074 Power Commander 6 - INPUT ACCESSORY

OPTIONAL ACCESSORY INPUTS

Map
(Input 1 or 2) The PC6 has the ability to hold 2 different base maps. You can switch on the ﬂ y between these two base maps when you hook up a switch to the MAP inputs. You can use any open/close type switch. The polarity of the wires is not important.
Shifter
(Input 1 or 2) Used for clutch-less full throttle upshifts. Insert the wires from the Dynojet quick shifter into either Input 1 or Input 2. The polarity of the wires is not important. Set to Input 2 by default.
Speed
If your application has a speed sensor then you can tap into the signal side of the sensor and run a wire into this input. This will allow you to calculate gear position in the Control Center Software. Once gear position is setup you can alter your map based on gear position and setup gear dependent kill times when using a quick shifter.
Analog
This input is for a 0-5v signal such as engine temp, boost, etc. Once this input is established you can alter your fuel curve based on this input in the Power Core software.
Launch
You can connect a wire to either Input 1 or Input 2 and then the other end to a switch. This switch when engaged (continuity) will only allow the RPM to be raised to a certain limit (set in the software). When released, you will have full RPM.

WIRE CONNECTIONS

To input wires into the PC6 ﬁ rst remove the rubber plug on the backside of the unit and loosen the screw for the corresponding input. Using a 22-24 gauge wire, strip about 10mm from its end. Push the wire into the hole of the PC6 until it stops and then tighten the screw. Make sure to reinstall the rubber plug.
NOTE: If you tin the wires with solder it will make inserting them easier.

Continue routing the PC6 wiring harness along the frame towards the front of the bike. Locate the stock connector pair for the throttle bodies.
Unplug these connectors.
Plug the connectors from the PC6 wiring harness inline of the stock connectors.
Note: There is another pair of stock connectors further down the stock wiring harness on the right side of the frame that the PC6 wiring harness will ﬁt into. Make sure you are plugging the PC6 wiring harness in-line of the stock connector pair that sits on the left side of the frame.
Attach the ground wire from the PC6 wiring harness to the negative side of the bike’s battery.
Install the PC6 module under the left hand side cover. Use the supplied Velcro to attach the unit. Clean surfaces with the supplied alcohol swab before attaching the Velcro.
